In reply to the discussion: Paul Ryan QUIVERS As Bernie Sanders Outs the DIRTY SECRET Behind His Poverty Propaganda [View all]RVN VET
(492 posts)52. They ain't no such critter
as a "democrat politician." That truncated version of the word "Democratic" was coined by the RW so they could get the word "rat" into every conversation about politics.
It's an insult. It's intended to be an insult. Do not use it. Not here. Not anywhere.
But it's an understandable faux pas, and your post was otherwise spot on. Some have tried to exculpate President Clinton by saying he signed the bill at the butt end of his 2nd term and didn't really know what he was signing. I think Bill has been honest enough to fess up and say he knew what it was trying to do -- eliminate Glass-Steagle -- but didn't realize the damage it would do.
