the DLC makes me sick
Every time is see Bayh I get the queasy Lieberman DLC feeling in stomach. The kind of Dino that I hope we can marginalize by getting a huge wave of new democrats elected this fall.Any advice he gives about how republicans think should be taken to heart because that's how the DLC thinks.

1. Like PNAC, The DLC's market-based solutions are in alignment with the Military Industrial Complex.

5. Thank you!
Here's one of our candidate: :D



Too bad Kucinich was sidelined by the DLC machine and the M$M. :(

He was the candidate who spoke for me.

12. That's because the DLC's leading think tank the Progressive Policy Institute/PPI received funding
from the extreme RW Milwaukee-based Bradley Foundation (which helped found PNAC)and the PPI's President and co-founder of the DLC is PNAC letter signatory Will Marshall.

3. The DLC is a hemmorhoid on the asshole of the Democratic party.
They are a boil that desperately needs lancing.

6. Me too. Hillary is speaking in Indiana now. Screwing her face up like
a school marm when referring to Obama. What a sad excuse for a Democrat.

8. I, too, had a visceral response to seeing Bayh on my teevee.
Immediate nausea set in.

11. But, it's the only way we can win.
We can't energize our base or get people who are already in our corner motivated to vote (and besides, those red states will never flip to blue no matter what) so we need to convince republicans that voting for republican-lite is the thing to do in order to have a hope of winning elections and if we have to adopt entire republican party platform to do it, then we should do so because we need democrats to advance the agenda we no longer stand for.

(yeah...color me confused too)
