The DLC is Still the Problem

If you want to know what the Democratic Leadership Council (DLC) thinks about the public option, make sure to read Founder and CEO Al From's column in today's Wall Street Journal. Then note that Sen. Joe Lieberman of Connecticut was chariman of the DLC (1995-2001), as was Sen. Evan Bayh of Indiana (2001-2005). Sen. Tom Carper is currently vice chair of the DLC. If you take a look at the list of current senators who are part of the New Democrat Coalition, you'll notice Kent Conrad, Blanche Lincoln, Mary Landrieu, and Ben Nelson are also members. Association with the DLC is no guarantee that Democratic politicians will oppose the public option, but there are no senators making problems about it who aren't associated with the DLC.

1. Now there's the understatement of the decade
The cowardly, corporate fellating DLC has ALWAYS been the problem since the day Al From pulled it out of his ass.

3. We need more republicans instead of the DLC
Democracy stinks - states get to elect their own representatives and this even includes states that are more conservative than the average DUer :sarcasm:

4. The DLC - Wannabee Republicans with an identity crisis.
