Reply #37: Any thoughts about their corporate funding noted in the original post

[Tinoire]

or do you prefer to try to distract from it by clinging to a list of event sponsors on pages 20 & 21 of some stupid pamphlet they printed?

Any thoughts about Koch Industries, "privately held, Kansas-based oil company whose namesake family members are avatars of the far right, having helped to found archconservative institutions like the Cato Institute and Citizens for a Sound Economy", being on the DLC's executive council?

Any thoughts about Bernard Schwartz, "the chairman and CEO of Loral Space and Communications," single-handedly financing the entire publication of the DLC's magazing "Blueprint"?

Any thoughts about the loyalty oaths they ask Democratic politicians to take for their corporate whoring?

"To ensure that liberals don't slip through the cracks, NDN requires each politician who seeks entree to its largesse and contacts to fill out a questionnaire that asks his or her views on trade, economics, education, welfare reform, and other issues. The questions are detailed, forcing candidates to state clearly whether or not they support views associated with the New Democrat Coalition, and it concludes by asking, "Will you join the NDC when you come to Congress?""

Any thoughts at all? Or do you consider those 'good things'?
