53. Clinton DID compromise 'Democratic principles'...
...and cleared the way for the Bushies to take power and the media to go 'corporate'. He 'appealed' to some on the Right because he gave them what they wanted.

We should keep in mind that more than just the presidency is at stake. Clinton and his 'third way' DLCers have lost the entire government to the RWingers. The party has NEVER been in this bad of shape. Never.

We've lost too much of our base...pandering to those against unions, public education, woman, Blacks, Gays and the separation of church and state.

The 'centrists' keep assuring us that we're not really sacrificing principles...as they sell off bits and pieces of our party to the highest bidder.

No more. The DLCers and their 'moderate' fans need to take a closer look at what's happening. If the party bosses don't soon listen to the BASE of the party...they're going to jump ship...not giving a shit whether the Dems win their hollow victories or not.
