19. We were winning with the DLC? I must have missed that election.

They have fucked us plenty of times.

Infact , I dont see how we can win again till we manage to put progressive issues on the table.

Will it happen? Considering the medias "premier liberal magazine" the New Republic and its 24/7 noise machine is constantly telling the nation where we Democrats go wrong (hint hint Peter Beinhart just said today that his 3 favorite Democrats were Liebermann , Biden , and Holbroke), we are sure to get more DLC compatible candidates in issue positions.Combine the medias favorite "leading liberals" with the corperate donations and you can tell we are in for an uphill fight. Most of our incumbants are DLCish especially high office holders.

This Beinhart is unreal.Listen to the C-SPAN interview. You had conservatives calling up yelling at him for being no different from the Republicans lol.There were self described "Christian patriots" who said they couldnt stand either party and when the conservative "Christian Patriot" was asked who he voted for by the C-SPAN host the caller said "I didnt vote this time because Nader had no chance but I voted for him in 2000".

Beinhart and the Democratic party is so corrupt and rotton that conservatives right wing cross over voters (they DO exist lol) skip Democrats in disgust and go straight to Nader UNLESS he is undermined.

That was the funny part.

The part of the show that had me pissed to no end was the other right wing types (the Hannity , O Reilly types), who called in just trashing the party as a bunch of socalist nuts who are a danger to the free world in our naive weakness.They sounded just like Hannity and the right wing 24/7 noise machine. GUESS WHAT that fuckin POS Beinhart said after they got off the line. "These are the types of Republicans we Democrats need to reach out too"!!!!!!!!

!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

WTF!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

He gets calls from disgruntled Conservatives and "Christian Patriots" who vote for Nader (2000) in disgust at BOTH partys war mongering (among many other issues Im sure , but wars we all they were talking today)and he simply argues with them THEN he gets calls from partisan GOP jerks making canned attacks on progressive values (and the "modern Democratic partys pink panty waistes" or something like that ) and Beinhart has the audacity to say that we need to be reaching out to the Hannity-esque anti cvil liberty Pro war callers????

Fuck, I cant stand this crap anymore.

Beinhart and the DLC have to be GOP moles. They know if we move center (ie piss on workers, bomb more nations , burn the bill of rights,etc.) we will just loose more elections pissing off our base and EVEN WORSE (and this is clearly what Beinhart, DLC , etc. does)it will basically be an admission to the voters that by us moderating that our issue positions are wrong and the GOP is the correct party with all the correct issues and policys.DLC and Beinhart want us to loose more elections. Im positive of it.

Ive had it folks.
