A litmus test for Democrats.
I would like to ask every Democrat running for office where they stand on the PNAC manifesto.If anyone supports the PNAC, that person must be summarily removed from the Democratic Party.That would include, of course, Lieberman,Zell Miller and a few other DINOs. Every idea of the PNAC, including world hegemony, space weaponry, genetic warfare techniques and others contained in that offensive document is so completely antithetical to Democratic principles,we need not mourn the loss of such ruthless people.

3. a better approach
anti-PNAC candidates can run against pro-PNAC candidates in the primaries.

4. Pro PNAC candidates have another party called the Republican
Party where they will be welcomed with open arms.As indeed Zell from Hell was.

5. they also have the dem party
many dems (unfortunately, imo) support many of the principles in the PNAC document.

And Bill Clinton signed the legislation that the PNAC letter requested. I disagreed with that, and probably would never vote for him in a primary, and didn't like him at all in the 1992 primaries, but he turned out to be a pretty good prez.

6. We now have something called the DLC which is just the Democratic wing of
the PNAC.It is actively undermining our natural constituency and can be considered a Trojan Horse in our midst.A DLC bigwig called Al From claims John Kerry lost because the Democratic Party was perceived as weak on national security. He is more incensed by any member's lack of support for the War on Iraq, which he calls a just war rather than the wholesale disenfranchisement of black and hispanic voters. He has never met a war plan he doesn't like. He wants to dilute our traditional coalitions and become a me too republican Party. So long as guys like these are allowed to stay in our party we can anticipate a party full of Joementums.
