Do not allow the DLC to sabotage progressive candidates in 2008
That's assuming of course that we still have a party by then, but seriously.

Howard Dean, was exciting people. Running on a populist message and a grass roots campaign, he had all the momentum heading into the primaries.

The DLC then decided that Dean was too dangerous, and all of its candidates decided to do a dogpile on him and unite in their efforts to derail his candidacy.

It worked, and what we got instead was John Kerry. A solid, respectable candidate, but no someone who excited anybody.

Don't let this happen again in '08. Don't drink the DLC kool-aid that we can't win unless our candidate is bland and centrist.

1. Exactly, the DLC is fucking fired.
How many losses will we allow them to orchestrate for our party before we get rid of the fuckers?
