Poll question: Bigger "Traitors": DLC or Kucinich?
I've read in recent days that Dennis Kucinich is non-committal in backing Nancy Pelosi in her re-election bid against Independent candidate Cindy Sheehan.

In the past election, Southern Democrats like Mary Landrieu and Harold Ford Jr. endorsed avowed Independent Joe Lieberman over our Democratic nominee Ned Lamont.

Therefore, I ask the question. Why is it okay for Democrats to back Lieberman, while Kucinich is scorned for staying neutral.

Bigger "traitor"?

And I vote DLC!

1. I wish Bella Abzug were were still with us.
She was one of my all-time favorites.

2. IBTL!
Oh, BTW, Sen. Clinton hasn't done a damned thing for us for years, and now wants to be President, for no reason.

THAT should do the trick, if your traitor stuff wasn't enough.

8. Those who are not loyal to their party
I've heard it ascribed to both of these categories.

6. The traitors are the ones not supporting the Constitution. Is impeachment on the table yet?
I won't vote on this poll!

7. In all reality and seriousness

Kucinich really isn't all that relevant. What he does, both negatively and positively, really doesn't have that much of an impact on the party or policies that are enacted.

The DLC does however have considerable impact and influence and most of it is undoubtably negative, unless you consider increased corporate influence on politics a positive trait for democracy.

9. I stand with Kucinich...
His votes are always correct and he always speaks truth to power.
