He is neither a Dem or a Republican nor an Independent, he’s a little cottage industry all about what’s best for Joe.

Since he could not have won in CT without Karl Rove and full-bore GOP money and resources thrown his way, he is all about “Support for the President”, all about “We Democrats have to get behind our Commander-in-Chief”.

Let’s see hw much that helps him next time around.

I don’t believe Harry Reid should cut this opportunist any slack; he is a cheap blackmailer and should be exposed and kneecapped, not given plum Committee posts.

As to the DLC, what can you say? The DLC has proven time and again how their “Third Way” Strategies and Tactics demoralize and weaken our party. They call Michael Moore and other AntiWar activists “Anti-American” and “Loony Left”, they said not to filibuster the nomination of Alito, they promote the views of people like Marshall Wittmann who says he’s a McCainiac who hopes for a rebirth of Teddy Roosevelt’s Bull Moose tradition.

They are the kind of men who would encourage a girl whose date raped her to get a new dress for next time.

Now pretend that if Cindy Sheehan were to post anything on DKos, you wouldn’t be joining in all over the rest of the wingnutosphere deriding her, demanding she shut the hell up, and deriding kos for permitting her to spread her “BDS” dementia…

“Well… not ANYBODY. Cindy Sheehan, for one.”

Right, you have to be a Democratic activist, not running against the Democrats. Hardly a scandal.

Well… not ANYBODY. Cindy Sheehan, for one.

Writing this, I just had a thought — the DLC is for Democrats who act, talk and vote like Republicans. Metrosexuals are straight guys who act like stereotypical gays. Maybe instead of “Democratic Leadership Council” we should call it them the “Metrodems” or something like that.

Besides Oliver’s point that the DLC represents no actual constituency besides beltway insiders, I had the following basic question that I posted on that youtube video of William “the Bloody” Kristol:

Ask yourself – can YOU join the DLC? Can Joe Lunchbox go to its conference? Of course not. The DLC is one more think tank of elites who decide what the sensible course is and give its revealed wisdom to the ignorant proles. ANYBODY can sign on to Dailykos for FREE and talk with thousands of other activists as well as their congressional leaders. ANYBODY can sign up for YearlyKos and meet the Dem candidates in person. It’s not about left/right, it’s about PEOPLE getting a say in government!
