Who do you trust to look out for your interests more, Rahm Emanuel or Howard Dean?

1. That's a no brainer.

A doctor who gives up his practice to serve the people or a DLC political opportunist.

[yurbud]

22. it's a different kind of no brainer in DC: corporate bucks vs. actual people

[Oregone]

2. Why isn't baby jesus an option?

But yeah, I pick Dean.

[Sebastian Doyle]

13. Jesus in charge of health care would be great.

Instant healing.... no paperwork. no drugs. no insurance.

But somebody would make a big deal out of church/state separation, so He's not likely to pass confirmation. :(

[Oregone]

14. Oh yeah, he wouldn't pass...

But I was also talking about Baby Jesus. You know, the cute blonde haired, blue eyed baby boy in the manger. He didn't know how to heal yet, but really, who could you trust more than Baby Jesus?

3. I vote for the person I voted for president - Obama

I like Howard Dean but I also voted for the current president

[yurbud]

16. Obama did a pretty good job of distancing himself from the DLC during the campaign

probably because he knew they were radioactive with the people he needed to be foot soldiers for his campaign.

23. So how's that whole 'enlightened dictator' thing working out for you? Or can you still have opinions

... :shrug:

I bet Obama won't break up with you if you disagree with him.

[SmileyRose]

4. I think it will take both.

When dealing with the GOP it doesn't hurt to have a variety of talent at hand.

[B o d i]

5. I expected this poll to be a bit lopsided before opening the thread, but 95% to 5% ?

Being that lopsided surprised me, I'll admit.

[PufPuf23]

6. oh oh lol

I like Obama lots but he does not have much to work with as far as personnel or media support.

[Gidney N Cloyd]

7. I voted Howard but, I have to say I'm glad Rahm is on our side.

As the saying goes, He may be a sunovabitch but he's OUR sunovabitch.

[yurbud]

19. if he was one of few or even half DLCers in cabinet, that wouldn't worry me

their overwhelming numbers does.

[mdmc]

8. Dr.Dr.

Mr.M.D.

[KittyWampus]

9. and the stupid continues apace here on DU.

[yurbud]

15. DLCers hate it when they are reminded that no actual people support them

[BlooInBloo]

17. Well you're in the IhateObama forum - shouldn't expect any different.

EDIT: Oh wait a minute - this is the normal-ish forum.

Oh well.

[yurbud]

18. I voted for Obama, but during the campaign he distanced himself from DLCers

the point here is when he has a choice, he should pick people the rank and file trust, not just the corporate approved Democrats.

[BlooInBloo]

20. Congratulations.

[readmoreoften]

24. Yeah, maybe you DLC folks should split off and form your own party if you dislike us so much.

Sure is getting to the point where we're all done with you.

[Individualist]

10. I trust NO DLC member

or DLC supporter.

[yurbud]

21. I was thinking of a variation of this poll that got a lot of hits:

Later threads like this got locked, but the point is important--Democrats are progressives. The DLC dress up like Democrats, get elected them pursue the agenda of Wall Street and corporations. Like the GOP, if they were honest about who they are, they would not hold office.
