Wisconsin Protests: Labor Protesters Call On Obama To Join Them In Madison

Saturday, February 19, 2011


Had Obama and the DLC-contro­lled Democrats acted like real Democrats after they got into office in 2006 and 2008, had Obama gotten real economic/b­anking and healthcare reforms and real job stimulus, we would be looking at a robust recovery that was working for the average American citizen.  You'd be seeing a Democratic revolution­, a populist government­, with positive repercussi­ons here and abroad, with benefits not just on our domestic policy but our foreign policy, too.  

But Obama and the DLC aren't real Democrats.  

Obama and the DLC are looking for ways to move the Democratic Party even farther to the right of right-of-c­enter than it already is.  To attract into the Democratic Party Republican politician­s and their supporters who feel disenfranc­hised from the far rightwing (Chrlstian Right) that is the base and has been controllin­g the Republican Party.  

Ever since the DLC got control of the Democratic Party in the late 1980s, instead of defending liberalism­, instead of actually governing in the best interests of the average American citizen, the DLC (the corporate, the Republican wing of the Democratic Party) has been turning the Democratic Party into the old Republican Party. 

Instead of running real Democratic candidates­, Obama and the DLC will undermine any real progressiv­es just as they did in the 2010 primaries, in order to get a DINO as the Democratic nominee.

So the (Hobson's) choice is between Democrats-­In-Name-On­ly or Birchers (Teabagger­s)?

That's what Obama's 'most ardent supporters­' would have you believe.
