Reply #34: It's amazing. You all believe that Dennis Kucinich is WONDERFUL.

And there are numerous fantasy threads about how the public really does love him, but he can't get elected President because of the Media, the DLC, etc. And he's always right, yeah, uhhmmm.

The past decade? So you're willing to accept the years that Kucinich stood exactly with the pro-lifers and the Catholic Church and against women? Sorry, but as one who came of age pre-Roe v. Wade, that's one of the biggest deals there is. And DK spent 30 years being against women's rights.

Sorry, but talk about DLC all you want--my Congressman and my Senators are what you'd call DLCers and I don't always agree with them on much, but they never stood completely on the side of the Tea Baggers, the Pro-lifers, and all the other anti-women groups out there--as did your hateful hero Kucinich.

But do tell this woman who handed out leaflets 40 years ago for women's rights, that being able to control your own reproductive system isn't key to women of all ages, ethnic groups and income levels and that standing against women forever is some "progressive" thing. BTW, nobody talked about DLC in those days, but I'm sure you would judge all the women who spent their days working for women's rights as somehow not worthy of your precious "progressive" label.

And on the oil spill, my senator, Bill Nelson, is someone you'd proudly call a DLCer and let us all know how inferior he is to the one and only little man with the boulder size chip on his shoulder, Dennis Kucinich. But I've voted for him because he has long spoken about needing an Apollo Program for energy in this country. Long before Obama came to office and way before DK decided to start his faux presidential campaigns. Way back before DK had his sudden insight that he couldn't stand against women and go out and talk to Democrats.

Bill Nelson was speaking against drilling in the Gulf way before this spill, threatening recently to filibuster. And getting far less TV time than Kucinich--because he doesn't spend his time bashing everything.

So call me whatever, your hero does nothing except try to get on TV and work the room to try and diminish the ability of other Democrats to get anything done.

And if being "DLC" means believing that change involves actual legislation rather than angry words and TV appearances, well then call me a DLCer.
