Clintonistas? Maybe that would be a better term for some of what's going on.

Look, the bottom line is this: it doesn't matter, really, whether or not the people involved are OFFICIAL members of the DLC, or whether their position is the OFFICIAL position of the DLC, it just matters that this is the kind of anti-democracy, anti-grassroots attitude and action that the DLC has been responsible for promoting within the party.

Getting rid of the DLC will not in and of itself rid the Party of this kind of shit, but it would help, as would getting rid of Clintonistas like Rahm Emmanuel who have gotten waaaaay too big for their britches and forgotten -- IF they were ever smart enough to know in the first place -- that it's the people they're in Congress to serve and represent, not themselves. Rahm has been throwing his weight around mercilessly in this new position of his, and it's quite unattractive.
