196. It's right wing to call yourself a "Scoop Jackson" foreign policy type.

This type of policy has always pitted the United States against the poor and dispossesed of the world. We were never really fighting "the Communist menace" since most of the developing world didn't want Soviet Communism. This tradition was against all hope for the world's poor, and it's the tradition Hillary subscribes to without question.

We don't have to lower ourselves to JFK in '61 to win. That means consigning the poor to eternal misery.
