Reply #3: Bravo rasputin !!! ... One thing that I keep hoping about DU... [View All]

....... is that we would stop the in-house bickering about politicians or candidates that happen to be affiliated with the DLC.

I'm not a DLC'er.. but for crying out loud --- we are NEVER going to get anywhere if we bitch and moan about the varying degrees of the Democratic party.



Here's an example ---- If Harold Ford, Jr. happens to be our best chance of taking the U.S. Senate seat in Tennessee, what good does it do for any of us when someone comes on here to bash him because he happens to be a member of the Democratic Leadership Council?

I realize there's another Democrat vying for that seat, but face it.. it ain't gonna happen.

The fact of the matter is -- we're not in control of ANYTHING. If the candidates who win upcoming elections are DNC or DLC, - :shrug: then so be it -- they are DEMOCRATS!

The continuous bickering about who is or is not affiliated with the DLC is tearing DU apart.

I want Democrats who can WIN running. But damitall.. we have to stop categorizing every single DLC affiliated Democrat as a "bad choice" and ask ourselves which is worse --- that candidate or another Republican?

I sure don't recall anyone blasting Senator Kerry for his relationship to the DLC when he was our nominee.

We have to get the candidate who CAN WIN in this extremely divided nation elected ----DNC, DLC, DCCC, DFA, ... just say "D" !!!
