Edwards and Obama Form Mutual Admiration Club - "No DLCers Allowed" Sign on the Treehouse
Edited on Sun Jan-06-08 02:18 PM by CorpGovActivist
I think that's what we saw emerge last night, and many of us progressive types were overjoyed to see it.

3. I will start by sacrificing the DLCers and their Corporate friendly philosophy.
Then I will sacrifice the Insurance companies who profit off denying health care to needy people.

What will you sacrifice?

4. If DLCers Were Forced to Wear Special Togas to the Convention...
... we'd all see how few of them there really are.

Those are two fine men.

23. Yes as long as they are Progressive Populists and want to kick some Corporate a$$
A note to the corporate lovers out there. I am not against corporate structure I am against the excess power that corporations and the rich have garnered to themselves. Our Constitutions does not give Corporations human rights.

24. My Screenname = Corporate Governance Activist...
... and you hit the nail on the head!

The corporate form, in and of itself, is not inherently bad or evil.

With modest reform - indeed, with a return to first principles on the corporate form - many of the outrages and excesses we have seen in recent years could be significantly curtailed.

be able to deny the People once one of them reaches the White House !

16. That, Plus Elizabeth Edwards...
... is a full and equal partner, in every sense of the word, and routinely kicks his butt toward a more progressive stance.

20. Well that's good info. Stands to reason...
The rightists flamed her pretty bad when she decided to fight both her cancer and them as well, vis-a-vis a John Edwards run for president.

I hope DLC drops off the face of the flat earth. Hand in hand with the P-nacsters.

15. It's Being Rerun Tonight on CNN...

It was pretty clear that Hillary was the cheese, standing alone, last night.
