...and you'll find that it's the DLCers who question whether other Dems are 'real' if they don't support the policies of the DLC.

It's not for me to say if Hillary, Kerry and Lieberman are 'real' Democrats. I will say that they in no way represent the 'progressive' wing of the party: the Democrats who refuse to sell out to corporations...that still support worker's, women's and civil rights.

It's strange that you put Gore's name with the others. Gore was exiled with the help of the Clinton's and DLCers like Lieberman. Gore rejected the DLC and became a populist in the end. That made him an enemy of the DLC.
