Which would you most like to see the Democratic Party kick out?

[genius]

Poll question: Which would you most like to see the Democratic Party kick out?

[Rowdyboy]

1. The Democratic needs to focus on bringing people in

Not kicking people out-IMHO

[genius]

5. Personally, I think we would get more people if the DLC switched Parties

[Rowdyboy]

16. I'm not quite ready to kick out Bill Clinton...

Al Gore, John Kerry, John Edwards or any of the other DLC officeholders. You're talking about approximately half of the current Democratic senators, governors, mayors, and house members. They may not be as "progressive" as the majority of DUers, but they're a part of the party too and I'd kinda like to keep them.

[Geek_Girl]

52. Hmm....

Last I looked neither Al Gore no John Edwards nor Bill Clinton hold any office and yes I'm ready to kick out any DLC officer Holder.

[TheFarseer]

19. yes n/t

[NMDemDist2]

2. although I'm not sure MM is actually a Dem

he was a big BIG Nader supporter in 2000

[Penguin31]

4. For that...

He needs a kick in the , not a kick-out

[Ready4Change]

3. Zell Miller

No question.

[mark11727]

13. Say it with me now....

GO TO HELL, ZELL. :grr:
GO TO HELL, ZELL. :grr:
GO TO HELL, ZELL. :grr:
GO TO HELL, ZELL. :grr:
GO TO HELL, ZELL. :grr:
GO TO HELL, ZELL. :grr:
GO TO HELL, ZELL. :grr:
GO TO HELL, ZELL. :grr:
GO TO HELL, ZELL. :grr:
GO TO HELL, ZELL. :grr:
GO TO HELL, ZELL. :grr:

I feel cleaner already.

[NMDemDist2]

24. Tell Zell to go to Hell

O wait! You just did!!

:yourock:

[TyeDye75]

17. My sentiments exactly

Its 'zell' miller time, oh wait no its not kick his ass out.

[blondeatlast]

6. Michael Moore was an independent, I believe.

As for the DLC, I'd just like to see them become insignificant--and I think they can accomplish that on their own very well.

[wyldwolf]

8. you are correct, Moore is not a democrat... some are misinformed

[genius]

9. Most of the best Democrats are no longer Democrats.

I've lost count of the Democrats I know who have left the party because of the DLC.

[wyldwolf]

10. Kucinich isn't either

never was a very good one.

[genius]

20. That's not true. Why do you feel the need to attack Dennis?

He's not relevant to this thread. However, he is the best Democrat on the planet.

[wyldwolf]

21. why do you feel the need to continously attack moderates?

Thread after thread?

As for Kucinich being the best Dem on the planet... joke, right?

37. because you continue to post divisive threads - yet are...

... ignoring the very UN-democratic things Kucinich has done.

[UpsideDownFlag]

45. michael moore's voter form is on the smoking gun...says he's a dem.

you can check, if you wish. it was confirmed in a different thread.

[Columbia]

18. Nope

http://www.thesmokinggun.com/archive/0628041moore1.html

[Forkboy]

7. Neither one are Dems

:)

[BrklynLiberal]

11. Some of the best democrats are no longer considered Democrats by the DLC

[wyldwolf]

12. like who, for instance?

[genius]

25. Ted Kennedy, Jerry Brown, most of the California Dem delgation to Congress

You know, all the good guys.

[wyldwolf]

28. show us where/when the DLC deemed them not democrats..

[genius]

30. The DLC has attacked everything they stand for. But you can love the DLC

all you want. It's a free country. Perhaps it's time you stopped attacking the greatest of the greatest within our party though.

[wyldwolf]

33. back peddling, spinning... typical GOP tactics

1. Show us where the DLC has attacked everything they've stood for. List them. Then show that the dems you mentioned were for them.

2. Based on the record of Kucinich, you have a strange idea of what "the greatest democrat" should be.

[UpsideDownFlag]

48. another gop tactic: loving the DLC. speaking of which....did you see

Faux nuse using them as propaganda earlier?

[wyldwolf]

49. when has the GOP ever "loved" the DLC and used it as a tactic?

[Julien Sorel]

14. Third option:

Ignorant folks who repeat the same charges over and over, without being able to back them up. DU would empty out, but the DP would be better off for it.

[Forkboy]

34. You seem to hold DU in low regard

Yet come here daily.Odd.

[Julien Sorel]

41. I visit zoos, too.

Odd.

[Forkboy]

42. Just visiting?

[UpsideDownFlag]

47. you've done a lot of DU bashing today...i thought it was just isolated

to the thread that i started. here's a clue- just because you disagree with something, doesnt make it stupid. sometimes, the truth hurts. and the truth is that the DLC and their corporatist, whorish ways will be our undoing.

[Crunchy Frog]

15. Well, thank God that Michael Moore is a free agent

and will continue speaking out no matter how much whining Al From does.

I don't think it's actually possible to kick someone out of the party. No one can pick and choose what someone else's party registration is. I mean, Richard Perle is actually registered as a Democrat even.

That said, I don't think that the Democratic party should allow the DLC to represent itself as the party's primary voice. They can represent themselves for what they are, one particular interest group, out of many different ones, within the party.

If they become the official voice of what the party stands for, then I'm out of there.

[Geek_Girl]

53. Richard Perle Is A democrat?

What a bizarre world. :crazy:

[illbill]

23. Where is Gen. Clark on the list?

:P

[Crunchy Frog]

43. Endorsed by Michael Moore, who is currently

on the DLC's shit list.

Why, where are you on the list?

31. I second that

and these type of posts, unfortunately, bring out the worst in me. But damnit, I'm sick of the divisive crap-threads that "genius" and others post.

I spoke to the admins and told them that the continuation of them would result in some major flame wars.

And I was correct.

[Forkboy]

36. So why do you take the bait then?

Half the reason these threads stay alive is because you can't seem to resist partaking in them :shrug:

It takes two to flame war.

[wyldwolf]

38. it takes one to start it a flamewar...

I don't "take bait." It's all pretty fun to me to see them make bold claims, then try to spin away when challenged.

[Forkboy]

39. They think the same of you

Hence,a flamewar :shrug:

[wyldwolf]

40. Then we'll all have fun!

:shrug:

[UpsideDownFlag]

46. some people can't stand to be confronted with the hard truth. nt

[Clarkie1]

44. Neither

[flaminbats]

51. we need both to win..

it doesn't help when the DLC slams Moore or visa versa. Whenever we give Republicans a millimeter they'll take a kilometer!

[Tierra_y_Libertad]

50. The moderate wing of the Republican Party - aka the DLC.

Let them go home to their masters at the RNC.

[unblock]

54. locking

ratio of flame to substance too low.
