Reply #153: The derision and ego of the OP deserved nothing more [View All]

Kucinich was the liberal, Obama and Clinton are both moderate to centrist.

I make no assertions in my posts other than that the people of whom you are so dismissive were at one time the heart of the Dem party- poor, uneducated blacks and whites of the South, rednecks, blue collar workers, union members, working women. It's amazing to me that Obama supporters claim to be so anti-DLC, while at the same time adopting the dare I say it elitist bent of that organization. It was the DLC who first promoted moderate to conservative economic policies in order to break away from the unions and be seen as more business friendly, less blue collar worker influence. That's the same tone you've promoted with this thread, even if unintentionally. You are being condescending, demeaning, and derisive of people who often are in the positions they are because of circumstance, not necessarily intelligence. Dems used to champion those folks, but you'd never know it from this thread.
