Why being right about the war was bad? Because the DLC voted for the damn thing....especially Sen. Clinton. That's a "no no."

As for the rest of the trash. Well, the DLC Dems. aren't necessarily concerned with strengthening the national party. Why should they be when 1) we start demanding programs that benefit us 3) we want to elect representatives that might refuse to join their club, and 2) they can count on our votes---DNC votes---no matter what they do.

Our electoral college is set up to favor a two party system, but it is my belief that we now have a three party system. One of those three parties has attached itself to the Democrats. The DLC is an exclusive club and we are their voting base and peon worker bees. I'm not being radical about this...listen to Gore. The system is broken.

I just peeked into a thread trashing someone who admitted to being a Green. Good grief. The Greens fit under the Big Tent much more easily than the DLC. Hell, the DLC doesn't want to be under the tent with the rabble. They just wait until an election rolls around, and although they've sold out your jobs, screwed health care reform, and sided with the credit card companies, they just tell you that if you don't vote for them, the republicans will git ya.

Well, I doubt that they will permit another Dr. Dean to rise to a seat of power. Enjoy the next two years cause that will be all she wrote.

At the top, not at the city council level, politics is a billion dollar business. Just like the board rooms at Walmart, they don't want you coming in.
