After this is said and done - Let's vote out the DINO's
that has been hurting the party. Starting with the DLC jokers. Rendell and Nelson tops the list - I'd rather replace them with PROGRESSIVE Democrats, not Republicans.

10. Not all Clinton supporters are DINOs..
just certain ones who are idiots much like Bill Nelson, "Fast Eddie" Rendell, and others.

9. I like your thought but I don't think we will have to for this reason: Dinos
like their jobs and if we can begin turning this around in this election they will follow even if it is reluctantly. We need to show our strength this November.

14. Yeah, let's purge the party. That'll show the Republicans! We
can advertise ourselves as The Party of The Pup Tent. And the really fun thing about purges is that you never who is going to be declared the enemy next. Often those who start them end up being purged themselves. What fun!

16. Getting them to work in the best interest of their constituents
is the important part. The fear that they could lose votes from the base because they haven't been a true representative of their voters would be a good motivator. If Obama can implement more transparency, so that we can see where all of these lawmakers are getting their money from, that will give us leverage to support Democratic opposition to incumbents. Our lawmakers as a whole have gone against the will of the people for so long, that our country is a serious mess right now. Demand more accountability!
