The DLC has morphed into a number of different fronts these days, including No Labels and The Third Way.
You can start here, google DLC or Democratic Leadership Council, check wikipedia, etc. http://www

What I'm saying isn't any secret. It's not something that DLCers even deny. It's something that they're proud of.

A blast from the past, from when Trent Lott was still in the Senate and Congress was debating cutting LIHEAP (low income energy assistance
Mr. LOTT. I have sort of a long history with this program. Years ago on my watch we started this temporary program, this emergency program called LIHEAP, energy assistance. Well, here we are, 10 years later, almost 10, it is still here, and it is growing.
I guess one thing that shocked me, and this is an admission against my interests, when I realized it went from being ``heating'' assistance to being ``heating and air-condit ioning'' assistance , I began to think: How far will this go?
I was in the ninth grade before we had air-conditioning, and we survived. We did not suffocate. It was damn hot down there on the Mississipp i gulf coast. You could not open your windows because mosquitos would come in because we did not have screens on the windows.
So, now, millions is going into air-conditioning. And then we have heat. What is it we are not going to give people for free? Is there any limit? Is there any limit to the amount of money? I thought we were having global warming. I thought it was a mild winter.
Yes, my bills have gone up. Mine have gone up astronomically in my State because of the disaster.
I thank the Senators from Maine, particularly SenatorSnowe, for this not being connected to the flood insurance proposal. Flood insurance is a completely different issue, and because people paid for this coverage, it has already been paid for, they paid the Government for their flood insurance, and now they are going to say: Gee, because the Senate once again does not do its job and is playing games with us, we are not going to get the checks for the coverage we already paid for? I don't understand that.
Second, SenatorCoburn and others who are opposed to this LIHEAP proposal have acted responsibly. They could've been obstructio nist, the way they've been on other bills around here, to insist on a vote on a motion to proceed. The Senators from Maine are going to make their case.
Those who are opposed to it will make our case. We'll have a vote. One side or the other will win, and then I recommend we go forward at that point.

Is this really news to you? Do you really not know the DLC, its history and what it's been doing?
I'll give you links but first, if you would, explain to me what you think the Democratic Party's business plan is and how do you think they've intended to achieve it? Do you think Obama, or Bill and Hillary Clinton are liberals?

The Tea Party is like Al Qaeda -- A phantom group of a couple of dozen. The "Tea Party" is Dick Armey, the Koch brothers, Grover Nordquist. Their numbers are miniscule. What they are is a money machine. As long as they are caved to, there can be no reform which will prevent their spending money to buy starving and ignorant supporters who roar at the sight of red meat, but have no real interest in politics.
