I am a proud supporter of the Democratic Leadership Council. Sue me. [View All]

You know what, I'm pretty fucking tired of all the DLC-bashing that's been going on this forum. I thought the Democratic Party was the Big Tent party? But every time I come on here, I see things like "Hillary Clinton needs to join the Republicans." Or "Evan Bayh is a Republican plant." It's all bullshit.

Well, you know what---the DLC produced the only 2 term Democratic President since FDR. Bill Clinton, whether you like it or not, actually did shit for the Democratic cause. Whether you like them or not, the DLC understands what it takes to win. The Republican Party has moved so far to the right, that the Democrats can occupy the center--where a majority of Americans are politically. The days of the New Deal are long dead, and to win we must win the critical swing voters. We had an energized, unified base in '04 and we got our asses handed to us---straight up.

I just wish some people on here would accept the DLC and the people who support it. I'm a moderate Democrat, and I will not have my Democratic credentials questioned because they're not liberal enough for some people on this board. We're all on the same team here. We should be worrying about the '06 elections and not bickering about who is a true Democrat and who isn't.
