While the party machinery suffocates anyone who doesn't fall into line with their sick ideology. If we don't stop them they'll lull a defeated people to the slaughterhouse without a care, because they get paid either way. These people are an ersatz left created and maintained by the wealthy for us to turn to when we are desperate. Their job is just to keep us under control; they don't work for us and they can't be allowed to continue controlling the Party if it is going to be a Party worth belonging to.

I think this last election was proof that the purge already started. The "run away from Obama" tactic was a DLC move if there ever was one.

12. Vice President Gore could not possibly run away from President Clinton, no matter what.

He did not try to avoid saying Clinton's name, the way these candidates tried to avoid saying Obama's, but he did not want Clinton doing a lot of campaigning for him. Thing is, Gore could not possibly disassociate himself from Clinton, the man he ran with twice was VP to for 8 years. Poor Clay Aiken couldn't disassociate himself with Obama and Aiken never voted for one Obama initiative. Or anyone's initiative.

He makes it sound like Hillary thinks that it is necessary to destroy the Democratic Party in order to save it. My gut tells me she's smarter than that.

Circling the wagons...It's not that the Clintonistas and their ilk are into politics for altruistic reasons - If that were the case they would just resign for the good of the party/country/democracy. They are into politics because they are sociopths and they care about their egos and greed. Now they will surround themselves with the sycophants and these have been, are and will be the only people they will listen to.
