Reply #3: I agree the DLC is one of many opportunities to fix the Democratic Party [View All]

But my post goes beyond partisan politics. If you start talking about the right in terms of whats wrong with the ruling element of the right wing you can draw in the independants and the paleocons who are disgusted with the Republican party state of affairs.

You know as much of a problem as we have with the DLC types, the Paleocons, the "true Republicans" if you look back on history have even a bigger problem with thier party, b/c the Necons absolutely control thier party and are driving it into the ditch.

The DLC is endangered. The signs are all there to see. Candidates are demanding to be removed from thier member rolls. The entire Netroot movement has the DLC in its' crosshairs. The latter part of 2005 is going to be able cutting the DLC off at the knees.

The Democratic party is a great party that we're going to make better because we now have the tools to change it. We didn't in the 90s. We do now.

If Humanity is going save itself, the Internet is what is going to enable that to happen.

Taking back the Democratic party or creating a replacement if neccesary is just the first step.
