ALEC and DINOs
Came across this very interesting article about how ALEC has supposedly co opted some democrats.

And you often hear me railing against the Democratic corruptionists, like Hoyer, Crowley, Israel, Wasserman Schultz... not to mention Rahm Emanuel, their prophet, who aggregate the corporate bribes and pass them out as spoils to the rest of the congressional caucus to buy their power positions within the party. There tends to be an intersection between corruption and conservatism-- like the way a horse goes with a carriage or love with a marriage... in the words of the Sammy Cahn classic, made into a smash hit by Frank Sinatra for a TV production of Thorton Wilders' Our Town. But, for now, it's the ideological component I want to look at. About a month ago, we looked at another one percent-- the Democratic legislators who have joined ALEC. That's a pretty good jumping off point to talk about "Bad Democrats." Any Democrat who can't sit down and speak publicly about Republicans the way Elizabeth Warren did in this discussion of Scott Brown, is in the wrong political party. - See more at: http://downwithtyranny.blogspot.co.uk/2012/04/what-are-bad-democrats-alec-has-list.html#sthash.Fo0VyAq5.dpuf
