Yours is certainly the DLC's rhetoric.
The DLC got into power and took over control of the Democratic Party back 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.
Why not forget about values and positions altogether, rename the Democratic Party (hang a 'DEMOCRATIC REPUBLICAN PARTY' sign on the door of the DNC) and all members of Congress would be Democrats. But do you think that's going to do anything about our core differences on issues?
I assume that you're pro-choice ('pro-choice' is in the Democratic Party's platform, just one of the core differences between Democrats and Republicans): Are you willing to bear the child of your r@p!st when those 'new' Democrats insist that ab0rt!0n be outlawed? When do you finally fight for anything that you purport to believe in and want?
I suspect you don't fight because we haven't come to anything of 'yours' yet. You're perfectly ok with compromising away other Democrats' issues because they don't impact you. But I'm sure that when we get to one of your issues that Obama trades away, we'll see the hellfire come out. You'd better hope there's someone left to give a d@mn.
