[Q]

- Clinton was never a liberal. And Liberals didn't 'turn on him'...he turned on the liberals with his appeasement of the RWingers....just as the DLC has done.

- Your screed simply skims over much of what happened in the 60s onward. America never rejected liberalism. Liberalism was assassinated by the 'republican revolution' and Dem politicians that were tired of representing the poor and wanted a bigger piece of the pie.

- You talk about the DLC's 'winning strategy'...but gloss over how the party went from a strong, vocal majority to one beholden to special interests that had no use for the poor and working class. You also didn't address why our party has lost so much ground over the last couple decades. It wasn't a 'rejection' of anything...it was an all out assault against our people and government WITH the help of conservative Democrats.

- The DLCers are as big of liars as the neocons. They continue to lie about the need to move right...using Gore's 'loss' in the 2000 election as the most recent rationale. They can't admit that Gore actually won with a populist campaign. Admitting this would show that their whole strategy is based on a foundations of lies.
