<P>According to Robert Reich as quoted in the Huffington Post, here's Truman's
acceptance speech at the Philadelphia convention that nominated him prior to the
1948 election:</P>
<P>Senator Barkley and I will win this election and make those Republicans like
it... We will do that because they are wrong and we are right... [T]he people
know the Democratic Party is the people's party, and the Republican Party is the
party of special interests and it always has been and always will be... The
Republican Party... favors the privileged few and not the common, every-day man.
Ever since its inception that Party has been under the control of special
privilege, and they concretely proved it in the 80th Congress. They proved it by
the things they did to the people and not for them. They proved it by the things
they failed to do.</P>
<P>Of course Obama won't "give 'em hell" in his speech on Sept. 8th
because the Dems have also become beholden to "special interests" - but wouldn't
it be fun for a change? There I go dreaming again...</P>
