Reply #60: The rank and file are not aware of who the culprits are

like the gal that talked to me at tonight's meeting. her daughter was simply making phone calls to registered Democrats who have contributed before...

all these people know is that the Democrats in Congress keep voting against their interest - they don't even know the DLC exist per se. they really don't care about the party apparatus, they care about the goddam votes on tax cuts for the rich, on cutting student aid and medicaid, on the bankruptcy bill, on the vote on Iraq, on the SCOTUS votes - they know that it is the ELECTED Democrats in OFFICE that are voting against them. they no longer want to support these bastards. They think by sending in money to the DNC that it's going to support their future campaigns to be re-elected. It's not their fault for not knowing who it is that is responsible.

I think what Howard Dean needs to do is finally break ranks from the party and let the American People know what's been going on. But the DLC will crush him for doing that, so he's in between a rock and hard place, right where the DLC wants him to be.

The struggle is about how the DLC is destroying this party, and with their feckless ProBush, Pro-Gop votes - or rolling over and playing dead, they think they can get away with it, and you know they probably will.

unless those in the community who do know what is going on, tear down the media walls and barriers and let the truth be told about these vichy bastards so that the rank and file can at last begin to understand how we are being betrayed, and how Howard Dean is being inadvertently betrayed and roped by them as well.
