Reply #104: Madfloridian, I believe you really caught on to something

It is so obvious that the DLC will dominate the Dem primaries. I will vote Dem no matter what but and I used to support the DLC about 12 years ago when I was 18 but I grew up and learned that this is no way to run the Dem party. Most DLC'rs take such weak positions on every thing and some members try to keep dissent quiet within the Dem party. Kerry, Dean, and Gore definitely learned a hard lesson about the DLC. Do their bidding and they will support you, be their rivals and speak out strongly against the Iraq war and they will try to destroy you. If Ford is their chairman, are they any better than moderate Rethugs? I do believe we should that moderate to conservative Dems should have a voice in the political system but I do not believe that they should try to suppress others who do not agree with them. I suppose that if Al Gore does not run in 08 then I will have to choose a member of the DLC. It won't be any easy decision. It will be who is least influenced by the DLC.
