They have NO grass roots, but are funded solely by Corporate Money.

The DLC's Prime Directive is to INCREASE the INFLUENCE of CORPORATE MONEY in the Democratic Party. Their funding is 100% from Corporate Special Interests. The DLC doesn't care about Social or Cultural Issues.

*The DLC does not Care who does or does not buy a gun

*The DLC does not care who does or does not get married

*The DLC does not care who get or does not get an abortion

*The DLC does not care what Church you go to, which god you pray to, or where the 10 Commandments are displayed

Since the DLC doesn't care about Social or Cultural Issues, their members are FREE to vote however they wish on these issues and still receive their checks from the Corporate lobbyists, and Corporate support for re-election. Some DLC members are Socially Liberal, and vote that way. That makes them appear moderate when examining ONLY their voting records. You would NEVER guess that they are OWNED by Corporate America, AND the DLC propagandists will point to their records and say,"SEE. They aren't so bad".

The DLC and their Corporate Financiers care ONLY about INCREASING the POWER and INFLUENCE of Corporate Money in DC. As a result, ONLY the votes that influence these issues are Representative of their TRUE allegiances and worth examination. Even then, the voting records are misleading. The DLC is NOT stupid, and DOES NOT require that their members vote their interests every single time. The DLC only requires that Pro-Coporate legislation PASSES every single time!. The DLC DOES require that ONLY ENOUGH members vote for THEIR legislation to ensure passage. After that, their vote is meaningless, and members are free to vote to cover their ass and camouflage their true allegiances. This also must be factored in when looking at the voting records.

The DLC will say, "SEE. he isn't so bad. He voted against CAFTA!. What they won't tell you is that his vote was meaningless because the DLC already had the votes they needed to ensure passage of CAFTA in the Senate.

If you go back and examine every legislative issues that INCREASED the POWER of BIG BUSINESS and DECREASED the power of the Working American, you will find a CORE of DLC Senators (I haven't done the House yet) that provided just enough votes to ensure that the Corporate Legislation PASSED. The NAMES of the individual DLC Senators that vote AGAINST the American People also ROTATE so that NO INDIVIDUAL Senator takes ALL the HEAT.

Most of the time, the DLC Senators will be joined by a few non-DLC Senators on particular votes when their Home State has a special interest. Such was the case on CAFTA. The DLC is quick to point to that vote and say,"Well {insert name of non-DLC} voted for it, and He's not DLC."
This also is a distraction. As long as ENOUGH DLC Senators vote ProCorporate to ensure passage, NOTHING ELSE MATTERS.
Without DLC support in the Senate, CAFTA would have failed.



When was the last time a bill advancing protections for the American Working Class passed? When was the last time such a bill was proposed?
Bill Clinton submitted a HealthCare Plan that would have helped the Working Class. It was the DLC that rose up and defeated their OWN Party's HealthCare Plan.

Can anyone remember a Bill protecting the Working Class even reaching the FLOOR for a vote since the Corporations bought their way into the Democratic Party?
