DLC: Decidely Lacking Conviction

Great post from Kos today about the DLC's new poll they conducted. Burka makes the entire thing more understandable (motto: humor will keep you from weeping in misery at the ridiculousness of it all").

The poll obviously was done to trump up their support of Lieberman. They are hanging on to yesterday's tactics. They seem to be either blind or stupid: this election won't be won by trying to get voters who traditionally vote GOP or by trying to appear as a mini-republican. These tactics didn't work in 1994, didn't work in 2000, and didn't work last year. So what gives? Why is the DLC so hell-bent on trying to get the media and public to believe that the democratic party is just a bunch of losers if they don't vote Lieberman? Money really has corrupted the process. All the more reason for voting Americans to pay attention to the candidates and what they say rather than the political maneuvers of "leadership groups" with absolutely no leadership ability or vision.

My contribution to Burka's story:

In related news, the DLC announced its new CEO, Karl Rove, will be filling in until the general election in 2004 in order to help Democrats "see clearly the vision of unity for all Americans." While most voting democrats have been driven to support of centrist yet truly DEMOCRAT candidate Howard Dean, the DLC insists that Compassionate Fascism isn't just for Republicans anymore, and Lieberman really IS our guy! The DLC continues to make painstakingly thought-out decisions that will ultimatey give their goals the victory they deserve: loss of all respect and voting supporters, but lots and lots and LOTS of money.

UPDATE: Kos has requested bumperstickers for the DLC. Here are a few of my favorites:

DLC: Getting Democrats elected since... well eventually.

DLC: When Two Parties are Just One Too Many

DLC: Mowing the Grassroots since 1986

DLC: Standing up for ordinary Americans is so 1960s.

Go and add your own!
