All of these politicians were and are pro-corporate, pro-military industrial complex. The only differences have been on social issues, and on the Democratic side, they have proven to be, let's say, 'less committed' to their party's stated values, ideals, and goals, i.e. the People's issues. Democratic voters have let them get away with it because of the propaganda campaigns aimed at us is to be "reasonable", and "compromising".
Under the DLC's control, Democratic politicians have stood for nothing and compromised away everything in the Democratic Party's platform. Democratic voters have gone along, but when because they stand for nothing, they fall for anything. Democratic voters have put politicians into power who do not stand and fight for their issues. Democratic politicians have "compromised" them away.
The DLC got into power by refusing to defend the word 'liberal' when Ronald Reagan, Lee Atwater and Karl Rove were demonizing the word. Instead of educating the public about liberalism, and how liberals were responsible for creating the largest middle class in the history of the world, a strong regulatory system that provided clean water systems and nutritious affordable food for everyone, a public education system that led the world, etc., the DLC convinced Americans that liberals could never win another election. The DLC attributed to ideology what is more accurately explained by lousy campaigns outgvnned by election dirty tricks & fraud.
What we are dealing with is a corporate takeover of the US government. And Obama is a DINO - A Democrat-In-Name-Only. He's not a "centrist" as has been sold to us from his entry onto the national stage -- "Privately, Obama describes himself as a Blue Dog Democrat."
Blue Dog Democrat = REPUBLICAN
If it looks like a duck, walks like a duck, quacks like a duck, changing its name to 'bee' isn't going to get you any honey.
