Schoen was a pollster for former President Bill Clinton, as his tagline on the Journal's op-ed piece notes, and identifies himself as a Democratic campaign consultant. But his clients have also included non-Democrats, such as New York City Mayor Michael Bloomberg at a time when he was seeking office as a Republican.

Schoen has previously criticized Obama for dividing the country along partisan lines and said in an op-ed in POLITICO earlier this year that the president's health care law has been a "disaster" for the Democratic party. The consultant also has said the president should not seek reelection in 2012

Yeah, totally Democratic.

Please stop tricking me into clicking links to this worthless abortion of a blog.

Holy f*ck, does that blog ever suck. The Internet needs an editor.

Subby thinks this guy, Douglas Schoen (new window) Is a Democratic Pollster?

Subby's more retarded than the blog he links to

SkinnyHead: opposition to free-market capitalism

"Free market capitalism" is not actually capitalism.

Capitalism is where you do better than someone else through FAIR Competition.

By "FAIR" competition I mean by getting a better product then someone else for a better price. "Free market capitalism" usually means it allows companies to compete via, political alliances, buy outs, to remove competition sabotaging other companies. Do you rather have that then fair competition?

Or he's just being pragmatic?

Peter von Nostrand: SkinnyHead: They found out that nearly one third of the OWS crowd would support violence to advance their agenda. That's a high percentage of violent people in there. I think we can expect to see these riots getting much more violent as time goes on.

Of course you would think that. Then again, thinking isn't your forte

For God's sake how can you not detect His(or hers) satirical point? He's saying we can expect these riots to get much more violent, seeing how they aren't rioting He was being clever.

/Lighten up not everything is a blanket attack some people know how to use langue and wording to convey subtle points.

From the Schoen article on WSJ: By a large margin (77%-22%), they support raising taxes on the wealthiest Americans

Sounds pretty much in line with most Americans, if slightly to the left:

Schoen helpfully offers advice to Democrats.

Put simply, Democrats need to say they are with voters in the middle who want cooperation, conciliation and lower taxes. And they should work particularly hard to contrast their rhetoric with the extremes advocated by the Occupy Wall Street crowd.

Good luck with that.

Yeah. We tried that and the Republicans refused to be reasonable. If these protest spark reform on the Banking and Financial sectors of the economy, new Socialist programs to help out the poor, and higher taxes, well Republicans you only have your selves to blame.

I guess you should have been more reasonable when their was a chance to negotiate a win-win position on regulation, taxes, and social programs.

Pisses me off too. I will readily cop to submitting posts from my blog (no greenlights yet), but I don't put anything of mine in the queue unless I'm absolutely damned sure it's a hell of a lot better than this.
