DINO Watch: Harold Ford Is Looking Out For Big Business

12:43 pm EST January 25th, 2010 | News | 8 Comments

Harold Ford’s terrible attempt to run for a senate seat in NY continues, now with him arguing that the key to restarting the economy is a tax break for big business. In any other time, this would be a stupid idea, but it’s even worse now as we try to recover from this recession caused in part by that brand of conservative economics.

Ford compounds this stupidity by calling for a balanced budget. Clue for Ford: You don’t solve a deficit by creating a trillion dollar giveaway for big business.

BONUS: Here’s video of Harold Ford praising his “friend”, NRA head Wayne LaPierre.

    Isn’t tax cuts for the wealthy pretty much the ONLY Republican plan for everything? I don’t understand why Ford is even a Democrat.

    Harold Ford went to the Larry Kudlow school of wankernomics

    I'm seriously starting to believe Ford's only goal is to scam a bunch of rich friends for contributions.

    By all means drive any Democrat with centrist appeal out of the party.

    Come November, Harold may be the only electable Democrat.

    I like Harold Ford. I really hope he is able to pull this off but I think he might have gotten in over his head. There are so many forces stacked against him (particularly Chuckles Schumer) that it would seem to be a herculean task before him. But if anyone can do it, he can. he’s a smart guy and a good guy.

    Carpetbagger? New York has a bit of a history there: Bobby Kennedy, Hillary Clinton…I don’t really think it’s a problem. Corporate Democrat? We shall see.

    That being said, a lot of people who should know better are predicting that 2010 will be a Republican year. They aren’t paying attention. The extremists within that party will only continue to destroy it. Anyone who thinks that 2010 is going to be a Republican year had better think again. The Tea Party knuckleheads are already taking credit for the Massachusetts upset last week and are set (they believe) to take over the party. When they are denied the opportunity to do that, they’ll splinter the vote with third or even fourth party uprisings.

    How am I so sure of this? It’s quite simple, really. These people are not only crazy, they’re dumber than doggy dung. It’s only a matter of months before their mad house of cards comes crashing down.
