DLC - Corporate bidding, Democratic Primary winning, and our Congress.

[Free the Press]

The DLC is backed by corporations - corporate networks and capital.

The DLC and/or corporations strategically assesses upcoming elections and determine the minimum number of Congressional seats at risk - from non-CENTRIST candidates (see your Republican Lexicon dictionary).

The DLC hand picks enough candidates in select congressional districts and states, using a strictly federal model of this hypothesis, and crushes all opponents until their candidates win the Democratic nominations in those districts or states.

The Republicans run a much more right-wing candidate in those races, after the DLC candidate prevails, knowing that at worst, the House or Senate seat will be occupied by the corporate candidate who is ready, willing, and able to rubber stamp any legislation requested by corporations.

Corporations and Republicans are glad to see them because they become the worst case scenario once they win the Democratic nominations and primaries.

Once that is done, Corporations and Republicans are assured of a CENTRIST vote in Congress, regardless of the outcome of who wins the general election, whether the Republican or the DLC'er.

Once elected, DLC candidates refrain from declaring themselves as DLC'ers because the public could eventually catch on and put an end to this nonsense.

The DLC is only apt to seek publicity that embraces corporations and Republicans.

The DLC does boast, though, and thus you see elected officials appearing on their website despite the attention that that might lead to, such as someone figuring out what they are up to and passing that on to the general public.

Candidates like Holy Joe survive because they are beyond the Republican majority, and are only needed for exclusive types of votes, such as but not limited to war powers and budget allocations.

Otherwise, Holy Joe has safely voted as a left-winger. He is satisfying his corporate obligations and being rewarded for it handsomely by the Republicans in their legislation. This keeps him popular in CONnecticut.

Republicans there love him, and Democrats there see no alternative to him, because of his otherwise excellent liberal voting record.

Much of this positioning stuff holds true for Republicans as well. They are permitted to vote out of unison for the sake of appearances to their constituents, since the DLC is there to take up the slack for Republicans.

In all it is a well played shell game by corporations. All it takes is to hijack a few Democratic Party nominations. Just enough to ensure their votes are there on every kind of corporate legislation they will need them for.

* doesn't veto legislation, because it is written by and for the corporations.

* doesn't pick moderate Justices for appointments because the Corporate DLC'ers in Congress will vote for Darth Vader if he is nominated AND their vote is needed by Republicans!

* doesn't pick moderate Executives for his agency and cabinet level appointments, because DLC'ers in Congress will vote for any nominee, if the Republicans need such votes. If they don't or cannot, * use his recess appointment powers to bypass Congress.

* doesn't get congressional oversight, because the DLC'ers in Congress won't go public and expose the wrongdoing, when they are allowed to become aware of it by Republican committee chairmen who clearly are the most important Congressional corporate bidders. Also, the DLC'ers won't bite the hand that feeds them.

Please, feel free to add to or detract from my hypothesis.
