It's official: the DLC wants WAR
Advertisements [?]
After reviewing events the past few days, the dying-but-not-dead-yet DLC is truly in a panic over Howard Dean leading the Party away from corporate lobbyist money, and firing with all their cannons left:

Edwards- who was paraphrased by cobbled quotes news releases from the DLC and smartly explainsed his position AND the out of context Howard Dean remark they were referring to like he made it yesterday.
Biden same weak ass snark you see from an inside the beltway clone, he seesm to be a meat puppet of Al Froms of late
Richardson again repeats the meme that "Dean is not spokesman for the party" in New Hampshire today

What's this over? Dean's refusal to emphasize corporate lobbyist-generated contributions ( and all their strings) over individual contributions. Scariest of all: Dean is setting records for an off year collection of Democratic Party donations, and he's doing it with individuals.

But listening to the DLC drones talk, you'd think there are nothing but cobwebs in the treasury. What they are really saying in their oblique , inside-the-beltway parlance is " if they don't need the DLC to broker money from corporations, what are we supposed to do for work?"

Thus, the idea of people, grass roots folk, actually having a say in the party, just horrifies them. Next thing you know, they will expect the democrats to vote against conservative judges and ( gasp) corporate interests.

What's next? Stopping the money going to defense? After all, we only spend ten times as much as the rest of the world put together.

Somebody, quick! Hide the sacred cows in the DLC barn!
