Where The Left Is Headed
18 November 2002
They’re apparently headed further left. I’ve written before about my appreciation for Andrew Tobias’ work in the field of personal money management. His book, The Only Investment Guide You’ll Ever Need, is one of the must-haves on my shelf.
As the years have gone by, his public disclosure of his political positions has become progressively more liberal. As Treasurer of the Democratic National Committee, he’s one of the people we can observe to see how the Democrats will position themselves for 2004 and beyond. Friday’s article provides a hint and today’s amplifies it. They’ve decided that what would have gotten more votes is a position even further left of center than the one they’ve held.
Knowing the way these people have ”played” in the recent past, I’d expect any disagreement or criticism of their position to be met with public statements and innuendo such as ”so-and-so believes in eating cats.” I don’t, but I’ve never believed the animals-are-people-too argument, either.
