37. LOL - A corporate whore
by any other name is still a corporate whore. Yes, those people you mentioned are, ideologically, faux democrats. Read some Jefferson, the founder of the Democratic Party, and his views on corporate influence in government. There is no reason for the DNAC to exist other than to insure that the needs of corporations are represented by the Democratic Party. If you call narrow ideological litmus tests adhering to Jeffersonian principles, well, yeah, I'd prefer that Democrats were ideologically Democrats, and if all Democrats were ideologically Democrats, they'd occupy the same seats occupied that the DNAC now occupies, and more. We don't have to sell out to get elected. I'm a Democrat because I don't like republican ideology. And I'm sick about how corporate influence has shifted the party to the right. It was not a necessary shift, it was a calculated, devised shift. Money does amazing things in politics.

The DNAC has really helped us a lot in the last two elections, don't you think? lol A republican house, a republican senate, and a republican white house. Scorecard: republicans 3, Democrats 0.

Time to return to our roots.
