Mission Accomplished: Victory over the DLC

The DLC is a powerful and well-financed mouthpiece within the Democratic party.  

A corporate Trojan Horse or "The Republican Wing of the Democratic Party".

It argues that the Democratic Party should shift away from traditionally populist positions.

With Howard Dean and Barack Obama, the DLC days are numbered.

The Lying, Cheating Wing of the Democratic party

Update [2008-5-27 16:25:2 by catchaz]: this diary is NOT aimed at the fair-minded supporters of Hillary Clinton. it is NOT a call for her to drop out. it IS an indictment of the dishonest nature of almost all arguments about dlegates and popular vote.

The Lying, Cheating wing of the Democratic party is still out there, in full swing. Lanny Davis is out there, lying openly about what's "fair" in Florida and Michigan.  To him, what fair is to give Clinton almost all the delegates, and the nomination.

The lying cheating math-abusing wing is also out there. they are the ones who say there are several different "metrics" in counting popular votes. again, what they basically want is to count the votes of those who voted for Clinton, but not those who voted for Obama.

Most disgusting is that these liars and cheaters, along with their racist friends, are now "threatening" to leave the party if their lying cheating candidate, Hillary Clinton, is not GIVEN the nomination she failed to win despite all the advantages an establishment insider could ever dream of.

Leave already! the damage these DLC types have done to our party, and thus our nation, over the last decades is monumental. Yes, in the 90's Bill Clinton gave us good court appointments. and the courts are to me the most important branch of the government, so that's no small thing. but because of their hideous policies and politics we have now lost what gains we made on the courts, and lost everything else.
Finally, after the Clinton-led party lost the Congress it had held for 40 years, and lost 2 straight presidential elections, Democrats won in 2006 by being proud Democrats.

So it's way past time we stop "courting" these DLC sellouts and their lying cheating candidates, from Lieberman to Clinton, and turn this party back into a party that cares about the people, not the power.

Hillary Clinton has done everything she could do to thwart the will of the Democratic voters. She's done it OPENLY, with not even a hint of shame at the dishonesty and cheating she is openly espousing. she does not deserve our support, she damn sure doesn't need our money to pay her debts, and she damn sure doesn't belong anywhere NEAR the Democratic ticket in 2008.

CHANGE is what we need. Change from the Bush ReThugs, and change from the Clinton DLC Dems.

PLEASE call or write or e-mail Senator Obama's campaign and tell him to say NO, THANKS, to the ridiculous idea of putting Clinton on the ticket. she could only help the ReThugs, as she's doing now.

It is time to get our party past the ReThug-lite era of Clintonism, and on to a PROGRESSIVE future. the Clintonites are NOT EVER going to be on board for that. so let's quit wasting our time and MOVE ON to those Americans who still care about building a progressive future for their country and our party.

How Can Anyone In The Blogosphere Advocate For The DLC Candidate?

This is something that confuses me greatly. Wasn't MyDD about crashing the gate? Advocating the Dean strategy and pushing for progressive ideals and pushing back against the moderation of the DLC?

Before 2008 MyDD had nothing but hatred distaste for the DLC, much like nearly all of the left-leaning blogosphere.

How can there be such a sudden shift on this very blog to pushing strongly for the DLC candidate, one who is one of the top 3 DLC leaders and picture is on the front page of the DLC website.

The DLC stood for everything that MyDD stood against as recently as just last year. How could so many on MyDD fall into line with the DLC?

It confuses me.
