Do not say that you don't get "truthful answers" about why we are opposed to the Third Way. You do get truthful answers, you just don't want to hear them. In fact, I gave you an example of one of the problems in this exchange with you.
Many Third Way policies sound just like GOP talking points. One of them is "personal responsibility". Yes, I agree that we all have some responsibility to do the best that we can, but in this economic climate, it is unfair to expect people to get ahead on their own when too many things are against them. The job market is against them, the banking industry is against them, the stock market is against them. Yet, we are supposed to blame them for their problems. Bunk.
