DLC - Time to Dump GOP-Lite [View All]

[wabranty]

Yesterday's elections proved that the DLC is not needed in the 21st Century Democratic Party. They did nothing to help Democrats win in these elections and their constant calls for the Democrats to return to the center is not a vision but a capitulation to the GOP. Can anyone name any DLC-favored candidate or DLC-sponsored policy that won in yesterday's election? Since 2000, their policies and candidates have hobbled the Democrats and forced the country to endure eight years of the most inept and criminal President ever.

Speaking as someone who supported the DLC back in 1991 and was glad to see DLC-sponsored candidate, Clinton, win the White House, I have become greatly disillusioned with DLC policies and their stands. I still like Clinton but that is because he didn't fully implement the DLC party line.

Thanks to DU, I have become more convinced that running to the center and being GOP-Lite is not good for the Democrats and the country. I should have remembered what Truman said, "Given a choice between a real Republican and a fake Republican, voters will choose the real Republican."
