Why are so many Dems linked to neocon's and this PAC?
From Louie freeh and Newt Gingrich and Richard Perle to Chuck Schumer, Donna Brazil, and others invovled in the same group?

I am starting to get paraniod and begining to think that the same 200 people run the world.

Is this just a big sham pretending to have two parties, why not just have one big PNAC party to vote for.

This is shocking information for me, maybe others have heard about these close ties? Here we rail and rant against a shadow government and their think tnaks and policy making only to find that they cross party lines.

Please, please tell me I am wrong and that this is not as bad as it appears.

Who they are FDD from their web site.

The Foundation for the Defense of Democracies (FDD) is a non-partisan, non-profit policy institute dedicated to:

• Finding the most effective ways to defeat terrorism—and the totalitarian ideologies used to incite and justify terrorism.

Here is what warch dog group IRC says about the FDD. You need to read this web site- there is a lot of information there.

About FDD

>Foundation for the Defense of Democracies (FDD) was founded two days after the September 11, 2001 attacks. Although FDD is nominally bipartisan, right-wing Republicans direct the policy institute, which focuses on “terrorism, the ideologies that drive terrorism, and the policies that can most effectively eradicate terrorism.” In its view, the “major ideological threat to democracies comes from Islamic extremism and rogue states,” which are the leading supporters of terrorism and totalitarianism.” In keeping with its neoconservative ideology, FDD advocates that the “United States should lead the war of ideas in the battle between freedom and totalitarianism.” (1)

Among FDD's advisers are also several prominent Democrats associated with the Democratic Leadership Council and the Progressive Policy Institute, including Donna Brazzile, a close associate of Sen. Joseph Lieberman; and Sen. Zell Miller (D-GA).(2)

1. Donna Brazile should go as the only Dem spokesperson who appears
on the media. They keep her so that Dems look strong on defence and because of her ties in with the Lieberman's and Miller's of the Party. :-(
