1. If this reposted thread has been helpful to you give it a kick at least,
but your comments would be better for all of US.

6. Keep this kicked if it has educated you in any way...
or cross post it in relevant threads that are full of lies.

The biggest threat to the Democratic Party is NOT the Republican Party, it is the Third Way Democrats (DLC).

9. Does anyone dispute the simple truths in the archived thread?
If you've read the thread and still dispute the facts you are beyond "hope".

10. RW moles, no longer a "conspiracy theory", no doubt a very serious threat when it comes to harming
we, the people. Impeachment, the rule of law and accountability, like our Constitution and our Bill of Rights are merely words on "a Goddamn piece of paper"-and so these DLC whores (both genders) did everything they were asked for the $$$ of the corporate fascists they love.

15. Harold Ford Jr. is Chairman of the DLC, Senator Tom Carper is DLC Vice-Chair,
Senator Hillary Rodham Clinton is Chair of the DLC's American Dream Initiative, Al From is the DLC CEO, Bruce Reed is the DLC President, Jennifer Mann is Chair of the DLC's Legislative Advisory Board and Columbus, OH. Mayor Michael Coleman is Chair of the DLC's Local Elected Officials Network-according to the DLC's website.

17. That is such an
interesting read, this thing is deeper and broader than I thought,
I saw Claire McCaskill as one of the Third way Senators.

There is so much info that its going to take a full time job
just reading all those information.

Thank you very much for posting these links.

Amazing!

26. The DLC also has links to the Religious RW, they are very secretive about that fact.
For those that are interested in this secretive RW religious DLC connection, Stephanie started a relevant thread that is linked below.

"Meet Hillary's Religious Leader, Rightwingnut Doug Coe" (started by Stephanie 3-14-08)

32. the most inconvenient truth for those on the left of the party
is that New Democrats, the Third Way, and Democratic Leadership Council candidates win elections in places where liberals can't.

Elections are won district by district, state by state - and the truth of the matter is that it takes a conservative Democrat to win in a conservative district or conservative state.
