15. The DLC has killed a lot of support the Party may have had.
Not just for the party as a whole, but for individual politicians who have decided that supporting Bush* is the way to win elections.

In PA, I am stuck with one for my current Representative (Schwartz) and another (Casey) running against Santorum. Especially after statements by both regarding censure, etc., neither will get any support from me.

IMO, they are worse than repukes. They have sold out real Democrats for the comfort of corporate dollars. Fuck them!
