A Statement I'd Like Every Left Wing, Liberal, Progressive, Democratic Candidate for President to be Able to Say and Commt To
From the words of Franklin Delano Roosevelt and his "Second New Deal", October 31, 1936..
For nearly four years you have had an Administration which instead of twirling its thumbs has rolled up its sleeves. We will keep our sleeves rolled up.
We had to struggle with the old enemies of peace--business and financial monopoly, speculation, reckless banking, class antagonism, sectionalism, war profiteering.
They had begun to consider the Government of the United States as a mere appendage to their own affairs. We know now that Government by organized money is just as dangerous as Government by organized mob.
Never before in all our history have these forces been so united against one candidate as they stand today. They are unanimous in their hate for me--and I welcome their hatred.

It's that last line I'd really enjoy hearing.
