The DLC seems to think that Democrats should sell out like Republicans
http://washingtontimes.com/national/20060219-105049-6385r.htm

Al From thinks that Democrats have to adopt the Republicans' immoral, illegal, unconscionable approach to foreign policy or else people won't vote for us.

What this twerp doesn't seem to realize (even though we've told him a thousand times) is that when it comes to a choice between Republicans and Republicans the voters will choose Republicans every time.

The DLC seems to think that standing on principle -- standing for what is RIGHT, both in God's sight and in the sight of the world -- isn't smart of us. Apparently, we are supposed to pretend to be just as vicious, murderous and dishonest as the Republicans in order to beat the Republicans. Say what?

I'd rather lose for the right reasons than win for the wrong ones. Problem is, the DLC (it seems) would rather lose for the wrong reasons than win for the right ones.

To put it even more rudely, the DLC doesn't seem to care what we stand for, as long as we continue to lose to Republicans.

1. Well, what have I been saying for months now?
Don't vote for DLC sponsored candidates.

4. Nice post,
but do not be alarmed when the pro-DLCers come in and get shitty with you.

There is one who is especially nasty who trolls for anti-DLC threads just so he can come in and be an asshole.
