Enough Arrogance in the DLC To Go Around

MS. SMITH GOES TO WASHINGTON
by Shirley Smith

BuzzFlash,  

The whole DLC reeks of arrogance. The Democrats have to rid this party of the "old" ideas of pals in Congress. That's the problem ... too many of these people have been in their jobs too long, and they don't represent the people any more, they have forgotten why they are in Congress. It's been too easy for many of the "old dogs" to just stay there and lay there and make money.  

The Raw Story | MoveOn: Independent Lieberman run 'reeks of arrogance'  

This is also a reason why the Democrats don't stand up to the Bush GOP. Too many "old" friendships. We have a treasonous administration and we can't get the leadership of this party to stand up for what is right and lawful. We have real problems that have been caused by the Bush GOP, and we've got Democrats who can't even address them. We've got North Korea who is crazier than Bush, so Bush isn't the one to talk to those people.  

We have a war that is going to kill this country and turn it into a banana republic and the American people are crying out for leadership, and we get pussy feathers.  

We can't get this leadership to do a damn thing. The DLC says we have to stick together ... no, they have to stick with the majority of the American people and the Democratic base.  

Clinton changed this party by establishing the DLC, in order to get this power, and they are hanging on to it just like Bush will hang on to the White House. And it has to be changed back ... or nothing else will be changed. Such a pity, we've always seemed to have leadership when we needed it, and now, we need it more than ever and we don't have it.

Thanks BuzzFlash,

Shirley Smith
