After watching Rahm Emanuel and the DLC Democrats take credit for the Howard Dean strategy leading up to the 2006 elections, I have been curious about the true colors of the DLC. A lot of this information is pre-2006 election, but the underlying concept comes out loud and clear. Getting corporate money out of our election process is going to be more of a challenge than I realized.
Some of these Senators and Representatives are too deep in the mire to be extracted and cleaned off, so the only option is to support and elect true progressives. If your politician is on the DLC membership list, take a long hard look at their voting tendencies and decide if you are willing to put them back into office. Remember, some of this info is outdated…

Haven't followed the links yet, but this looks almost like an insurmountable problem. I have looked at this before. I honestly don't see this happening. There is just SO MUCH clean up that needs to be done, I doubt even with help we could manage a big enough broom...
Notice Patty Murray is smart enough to stay away from this crew?
