Reply #272: I was referring to the fact (actually my impression reading about DLC) [View All]

[reprobate]

that the DLC was originally formed by extremely wealthy business leaders and their friends to fund the democratic candidates who were amenable to the desires of corporate leaders. I can give you no sitings for this, but from my reading over the last fifteen or so years, that's what I believe the DLC is all about.

Many here believe Bill Clinton to be the be all and end all of the perfect Democrat. IMHO, as a DLC member, he showed which side of the isle he supports when he supported and pushed NAFTA. This fiasco of an economic model ensured that american jobs left the country and to me this is not the way a Democrat works. And of course, the DLC was a huge supporter of NAFTA.
