It seems a line that seems thrown out there to pretend that they have something to say, and pretend they have some role in domestic politics. New York? Well, there are some Democrats grumbling about Senator Gillibrand, and any opposition to her has been pretty well steam-rolled away such that any primary opposition will rather negligible. Pennsylvania? Obviously, Arlen Specter — who is facing a real primary challenge.

But a little over a year ago they threw up that “1932″ video. I watched some of it, more than I can say about most of their video output — a bit toward the beginning, a bit toward the middle, and the last ten minutes. I would think they’d understand Roosevelt’s party elbowing, if nothing else than as part of the grander darkness versus lightness epic (FDR battling the forces that tie John Wilkes Booth, Woodrow Wilson , John Raskob, and the half a dozen Conservative Democrats targetted for primary defeat?).

Well, it is just a throw-away line.

That is to say, they know NOTHING about American politics–a remarkable record after 40 years of doing whatever it is they’re doing.

(That’s why, e.g., they thought Michael Bloomberg was going to the Democratic or Republican or both candidate for President.)

So, despite their slavish loyalty to FDR (now, that is–in the 1970s LaRouche characterized FDR as a Mussolini fascist), they have NO IDEA what FDR did and didn’t do.

Also, they apparently have NO IDEA that the White House ALWAYS tries to pick candidates.

G.W. Bush did it. Clinton did it. G.H.W. Bush did it. Reagan did it. Nixon did it. (No clue what Carter did.)

LBJ did it. Kennedy would have done it.

To call this practice “unprecedented” is to reveal just how far removed from poitical reality the LaRouche folks are.

The White House also gets to pick the head of its party–Obama picked Kaine, and Bush picked his various RNC heads, and so forth.

But this is all news to LaRouche et al. because they are already far advanced in their own personal Moon Mars Mission.

Ron was a conscientious supporter of the environment and social justice issues, and a strong supporter of the political movement of Lyndon LaRouche, political statesman and economist.

Mutually exclusive, I’d say.
As is Hamilton whatever and “Genesis Farm”.

I suppose I should make note of this and wait a week, but I need also point to these rattlings:

The Obama Presidency, with its made-in-London policies, is melting down on nearly every front, leaving many in Washington stunned at how dramatically and suddenly his administration is unraveling. “He’s going down, in the short term,” Lyndon LaRouche stated yesterday. “Time, boys, to jump ship!” LaRouche continued, explaining that more and more people are recognizing that we’ve been right, generating an opening in the political landscape, “an interval between Hell and Heaven,” that we have to take advantage of. We are essentially operating as a government in the wings, LaRouche said in further discussions on Tuesday, but we must make sure that we defeat Obama and his British masters on our policy terms, not the tertiary issues that others may throw up.

That’s the World Historical mission of the moment… but it’s in the hands of…

“We do have a situation of opportunity, and we won’t be able to capture the thing unless we have a better understanding of how the mind works, and what the role of music and art is, how it has to be approached,” LaRouche said; Thus, the central strategic importance of LaRouche’s current writings, and the related scientific work underway by the LaRouche Youth Movement’s Basement Team.

THE LYM BASEMENT TEAM!!! Who, up until now, I assumed had only been up to posting the newly to the forefront LPAC videos, such as “If Obama Only Had a Brain”.

For example, the White House is interfering in Democratic Party state electoral processes in New York, Pennsylvania, and other states, trying to dictate who will be party candidates for the House and Senate—an unprecedented action in an area that has never been the White House’s prerogative.

Not withstanding the quite typical politicking — mostly along the lines of “Incumbent Protection” … er… that was the complaint levelled against Franklin Delano Roosevelt in 1938

Aren’t these people supposed to go into a full and immersive study of FDR, or something?
Why do I bother?
