Difference between the Blue Dogs and the DLC? |
|
I know there is a difference (DLC is more centrist, but also more socially liberal than the Blue Dogs)
But where have you seen open dissent between the DLC'ers and the Blue Dogs?

2. The DLC supports "The Washington Concensus" (globalization.) |
|
The Blue Dogs are more pro-worker.

3. Globalization itself is inevitable |
|
IT's more of a matter of accepting globalization rather than being for or against it.
Now, how one globalizes - that's the real crux. Should one do like NAFTA and only take corporation's interests into account, or be more like the EU and also incorporate worker and ecological interests...

4. simple answer: globalization. |
|
The DLC has never met a free trade agreement it didn't like and the blue dogs part ways with them on that. Also the DLC New Dems are all over the map on social issues while the blue dogs are generally right of center.
