DNC Raises $16 Million In September

The DLC is trying to marginalize the RepublicanParty by forcing the fringe right of the RepublicanParty into the TeaParty, making the TeaParty the face for the Republican Party, leaving the rest nowhere to go but to the DemocraticParty, which the DLC hopes to control & govern "from the center for 100 years". The DemocraticParty, made over into the old RepublicanParty (right-of-center). All corporate, anti-labor, anti-environment, anti-civil/individual rights, pro-war, surveillance society. Anti-choice (anti-abortion), too. 

The tragedy of it all is that Obama's 'most ardent supporters' will settle for that, that they believe it's the best they can get, when the fact is that Obama was elected by more people ever in the history of the country to get rid of corporate rule, and restore the democracy to the People. The People were so thoroughly done with Republicans and conservatism after Bush, they voted for a black man in numbers never before seen. 

And no sooner was the election over (before actually, with his FISA vote flip-flop in July 2008), did Obama slam the brakes on the momentum of his victory, of HOPE & CHANGE, and adopt all things Bush-Cheney.

The only power that you and I have in this democratic republic is the weeks before every election every 2 years.  That's when deals are cut.  That's when candidates' pledges, about what they will or won't do if they get into power, go on the record.  For their 'report card' (the next election) when we either give them an 'A' (reelection) or an 'F' (toss them out).  Pass/Fail.  

What possible good are you doing us now?  

You'll take anything, as long as it has a 'D' after it's name.  You don't even know that that 'D' is no different than an 'R'.  In policies, where it counts.  All that either of these 2 corporate parties has to do is put up a candidate with a 'look', a shell' that would appeal to you, fill the candidate with focus-group-tested rhetoric (tested to appeal to Democratic voters) and you wouldn't know the difference.
