Here is a repost of a little something that I wrote in GD...enjoy!

What is the DLC's obsession with DU?

The dlc is not an ideology, it is a think tank--you know, like PNAC. There are no voters who say, "gee I want to vote a straight dlc ticket", only lobbyist who try to buy politicians and sway politicos.

Any person who is politically active looks at the influence behind a candidate to get a feel for who they really are. The truth is, the dlc has such a well-earned bad reputation that a Dem who votes for their own self interest ($$/power) or is even corrupt is labeled dlc.

So self-assured as to their choke hold on the political party (no, I'm not speaking about repukes, but it sure does sound that way, huh) the dlc actively campaigns to denigrate it's party's base. No, not ultra left leaning people, the Democratic Party's base who believes in the New Deal and the Civil Rights Movement. For having the audacity to remember and try to bring the party back to it's grand ideals, for that we are called the "loony left" by our very own dlc.

At the same time as spokespeople for the dlc are denigrating the Democratic Party's base, people log on to DU with a dlc agenda. Hmmm. Like I have previously noted, voters do not associate themselves with a "think-tank", only lobbyist do that. And what do we see from posters with a dlc agenda? The same hateful rhetoric that is used against us that the repukes use to denigrade us.

The dlc has tried to convince people that they represent the "middle". I say bullshit. None of the conservative or moderate Dems that I know feel as though the dlc speaks for them. Hell, Mr. zola is a recovering repub and despises the dlc and every thing that they stand for.

DU has no obsession with the dlc, we have an obsession with representative government of the people, by the people, and for the people. It is the dlc who obsesses with taking over our progressive message board like they have our party.

Scat. Be gone.
