Reply #41: I don't see much difference between the DLC Dem candidates

[OzarkDem]

and Bush/Cheney/GOP policies.

The positions they've developed in any detail (and they are few) and those promoted by the DLC are very, very similar to the GOP's.

Universal access to health care - everyone agrees the best way is to require everyone to purchase health insurance. Most voters would disagree with this position, since it does little to address people moving in and out of employment during a declining economy and does nothing to rein in the exploding cost of health care.

Foreign policy - DLC Dems & GOP are in agreement that we should stay in Iraq and also invade Iran. No one has proposed an idea of how they expect us to continue to pay for it or how to deal with its global impact.

Economy - Same as above..little in the way of details for a long term, comprehensive strategies for reducing the deficit, lowering inflation, balancing the budget, ensuring Americans can earn a living wage and have a secure retirement.

The voting public is seeking candidates who offer change and the opportunity to get our country back on track. A lot of rank and file Dems are assuming a lot of good details in DLC Dems policy positions that simply aren't there.
