and in the party at large, "centrist" democrats are in the minority. Centrist democrats were not working elections. They don't attend monthly meetings, are not involved in day-to-day operations of the local parties, don't work on campaigns, don't work on committees.

What I have seen them do is show up at parties or meetings during elections, and talk a big talk about how the party is going "centrist" and the rest of us better wake up. I respectfully submit that it's not US that should wake up.

Those few candidates that ARE elected then come to us during election time and expect us to work our asses off after insulting us and telling us how "out of touch" we are. Well. It's not us in need of a trip to Starbucks for a triple espresso.

You hear a lot of talk on TV about "centrist" this and that and "new democrats" this and that, but evidently no one pays attention to local meetings and state meetings where the rank and file is rumbling like an awakening volcano.

How in the world do you think Dean got so much campaign money last quarter? RANK AND FILE, every day Dems, fed up with the DINOs in the party, are supporting Dean and showing it with their pocketbooks.
