19. The DLCers know that it would be too difficult to start a party of their..
...own, so they've become parasites on the Democratic party. They don't even pretend to represent the traditional base of the party...but demand their votes simply because they call themselves (d)emocrats.

- When Republicans lose...they try even harder next time to appeal to their base. But when Dems lose, they go back and find ways to appeal to the GOP's base.

- Could it be that the New Corporate Democrats realize that there will always be a large segment of the party base that would never vote for their candidates? Is this why they insist on going after the conservative vote instead of the populist vote?

- The Democratic party will become much healthier when they can rid themselves of these parasites and get back to the original purpose of being the opposition to Republicans and the Party of the PEOPLE.
