Take a look at the positions of our new Democratic Masters (Third Way)
Edited on Tue Nov-02-10 12:45 PM by LostInAnomie
The new group of DLCers and ConservaDems that plan to take control of the party after the election.

Here's a Daily Kos piece on them:

Is it just me, or does their logo look like a puckered asshole?

1. Take control of the party?
They are going to be the ones who get voted out, because their Third Way crap does nothing to appease conservatives, and also alienated Democratic voters as well.

5. Why center-left parties are collapsing
A relevant article in today's Salon:

Why center-left parties are collapsing
Democrats sacrificed the working class to woo bankers and professionals -- and now they're paying a steep price

6. Despite it's protestations of being "practical" and "electable" the centrists are losing.
And, not surprisingly, the Democrats will blame the left for the losses and move right towards the "center".

10. Look at their "honorary co chairs" page
It's a literal who's who of the idiots who ruined Congress. :puke:

http://www.thirdway.org/co_chairs

Then there's the trustee page..... About 2/3 of them are from Wall $treet criminal corporations.

http://www.thirdway.org/trustees


Yeah, what a stellar organization. :eyes:

11. Unrecommended for starting it up on Election Day.
Save this for tomorrow, please. Or even later.

12. They already have control of the party.
Regardless of the outcome of the election, they'll move even farther to the right.
