Know your Democratic Leadership Council (DLC)

[upi402]

If it's broke don't fix it, nix it.

...DLC gave strong support for the 2003 invasion of Iraq

...DLC has received funding from the right-wing Bradley Foundation as well as from oil companies, military contractors, and various Fortune 500 companies

...DLC has essentially become an influential corporate and right-wing implant in the Democratic party. Marshall Wittmann, a former senior fellow at the DLC, former legislative director for the Christian Coalition, and former communications director for Republican senator John McCain, and Will Marshall, a vocal supporter of the war in Iraq, are among those associated with the DLC who have right-wing credentials.

...Joe Lieberman, another notable member of the DLC, endorsed Republican Senator John McCain for presidency in 2008

5. Indeed... the DLC is simply a front for GOP-style corporate infiltration,

and it's been remarkably successful, having drowned out and/or cowed all progressive discussion.

It's why we keep losing when we win.

They promoted Hillary's run against Obama (Bill Clinton was a chair).

13. "The Democratic Leadership Council's agenda

is indistinguishable from the Republican Neoconservative agenda,"

14. DLCers took it all "off the table"

Investigations
Single Payer
Public Option

We need to stop ignoring;
Campaign contribution reform
Election reform
Media reform
Trade reform

But we've spent our wad on a bogus insurance company handout.
Some great people are thinking that table scraps are just gonna havta do. In the end, maybe they're right, until we take our party back.
