#1 Echo chambers for lefty academics. The left, given its firm control of US media and academia, already has an infrastructure orders of magnitude larger than anything to which conservatives can lay claim. These won't even be noticed.

#2 If they can't get the message across with the NEA, colleges. universities, MSM, NPR and CPB, how do they think a measley $80 million on think tanks will change anybody's mind?

#3 Somehow "Democratic think tank" seems like an oxymoron.

#4 The only thing the Democrats can say they accomplished is Civil Rights. 2b and I had a discussion a few days ago about this. It is my firm belief that if not for the Liberal Democrats bucking the "conservative" Democrats and the Republicans in the '60s the Civil Rights legislation would not have occured. Kennedy's "Ask Not" speech and his later "Place a Man on the Moon' speech were the apex of the Democratic Party. The only thing the SOB Lyndon Johnson ever did was the Civil Rights legislation. He lied us into a greater involvement in Vietnam and the Democrats went downhill fast from there. The had greatness in their grasp and threw it away.

#5 Let them throw good money after bad. Then they won't have it for later.

#6 At least 80 wealthy liberals have pledged to contribute at least $1 million each

Wonder how many earned their money and not through currancy speculation, but hard work [i.e. The Governator]. For how many is it just unearned leftovers from the real capital creators.

#7 When all is said and done they will still revert back back to the writings of Marx for guidance first. Then will still go back to the same old class envy and racist rhetoric. They can't help themselves. The Dems look like a tired rusty antique. How many more socailist/marxist societies need to fail before they get any reasonable clue. ... what would noam chomsky do....
