Earth to DNC: The people want DEAN not more DINO!!!

[LynneSin]

I was patient and I gave Terry MacAuffile and this moderate-lite democratic party a chance and it failed. I'm reading all the posts and I can see the writing on the wall: Regular folks want Dean but the powers to be at the DNC don't because they know Dean will do exactly what they're too scared to do: Make the DNC a party of the progressives instead of this shift to the right that has been happening the past 8 years.

Hey, I'd be ok with moving to the right if we were actually WINNING elections, but we haven't. We're bleeding democratic seats all of the place and personally, I don't see it getting better with another Terry MacAuffile wannabe.

There is a reason that all these unions, organizations and everyday folks want Dean - because we want to go back to our roots and focus on what made the democratic party great - Progressive Politics. Hell let's just use that dirty 4-letter word that the DNC & Terry have been avoiding for 8 years: LIBERALS

We will not win elections by being like them and there is no argument justifying otherwise. If it worked maybe we have control over some of congress but we don't. Terry & the DNC's plan has failed us and it's us regular folks who are paying the price for their faulty plan.

When a losing team replaces the coach they surely don't go looking for someone with the same game plan as the one fired (well in our case left the position). We're the losing team - let's get us a winner running the head of the DNC. Dean has proven that he can motivate the masses, raise the funds and get folks excited about the democratic party. Sure, he didn't get the nomination, but I'm thinking that the DNC had something to do with that - afraid of a candidate that would actually run on the liberal side of the democratic party.

Our tent has room for all sorts of ideologies and Dean is the man to lead the way!

1. Go Dean Go!

He's the man to rebuild our party! There's hope for us yet if Dean gets the chair--and I can hardly wait to hear him use it as a bully pulpit to pound Bush on Social Security!

2. I'll be honest, with some of those candidates - I'd go green first

if someone like an anti-choice democrat gets in charge of the DNC. I mean, I have a tough time with the fact that the minority leader of the senate is anti-choice but I will give Reid credit with having some fire in his belly.

But I lived in a state filled with anti-choice democrats that screwed up women's rights in our state (Pennsylvania). We must do better!

4. I'm with you on that.......

I want to get my country back. I have given money, participated in multi-task grassroots campaign activities, neglected my housework, cursed and had to go to confession, provided housing for campaign activities and if they, the Democratic DINO's, think I'm going to continue this insanity......they are mistaken. I'll go elsewhere. I'd rather go down fighting as a united front than be a "Hoe" for the party.

7. My feelings...

... exactly.

[Me.]

10. I'm Hoping

that if Dean doesn't get in he takes all his supporters and starts a 3rd party. Dean or green has been on my mind for a while now because there is no way I will accept DNC/DLC dictates anymore. They kept hushing us when Kerry was running, saying we had to compromise our principles to win the election. Well we compromised and we lost. Enough of that.

3. For some, their personal political ambitions

take precendence over the country. All that matters is winning. I would put the Clintons and the horse they rode in on in this camp. For others, party, and by extension, the role it plays in fighting for the country comes first. In that camp I would put Dean, Kennedy, Durbin, Reed, Boxer, Byrd, Laughtenberg, Kucinich, Maxine Waters...Gore and others.

The Democrats are there, we just have to connect with them.

5. "Given the choice between a Republican and a Democrat who

acts like a Republican, voters will choose the real thing every time." How has this been so difficult for the DNC/DLC to grasp?

Here's the deal, boys: Dean or Green. I'm too old for any more of your kamikaze games.

6. Exactly.

I've been a democrat support since I was 10 years old. If the party wants to push folks like me out of the party so they can be more like republicans then this old dog has no problem learning new tricks with new parties like the Green.

I've stuck with the democrats because they are the best choice to taking back the power and fixing what is wrong with the country. But if the democrats are going to stick with a losing plan then I might as well join the party that supports the ideologies that I believe which is Green

8. Right ON, LynneSin!

Do you think the party leadership knows just how close they are to a mutiny? Are they completely disconnected? Or has dat ole Corporate Money eased them into their blinders?
