Perferably in the DLC leadership circle and give that politician the political equivelent of concrete shoes.
This is a "never forget" and Sopranos style "you are dead to me" moment.
I don't have time to construct a long diary, but I'll do my best make a quick case.
I like many of the other readers on DailyKos have in the past few weeks have been inspired and almost carried aaway at the progress made by the Democratic congress and the one-step at a time success that has been forthcoming on all fronts: (1) 100-hours legislation (2) Miniumum Wage (3) Immigration (4) Tough (surprisingly tough) Iraq funding bill with timelines.
Well it looks like we've suffered a small setback. Certain Democratic congressment stepped into their time warp bubble and think that it's 2003 all over again.
Fine. Dumbasses. Play Appeaser.
This is a small setback. There is plenty of unkowns in how the cards are going to play out in this game. The Dem just folded a Three-of a Kind (House, Senate, 70% of American People) because Bush is prentending like he can cathc an (ignorant) inside straight on the River. Someone in the DLC is whispering fold, probably thinking ("Heh Heh this is just what the Republicans want us to do, but it's going to come back to bite them)
Politics is all about image and for whatever reason the DLC likes the way they look in yellow.
My suggestion: Let's pin this on one and only one DLC, a Soprano style never forgot the time you betrayed me Fredo: and take him down like we took down Lieberman in the primary.
My vote: Rahm Emmanuel
Update: I'm rigging this election and voting twice:
My other vote: Steny Hoyer
Rahm is excused from the Barber's chair this time
Let's agree on this together and then make good, this will keep the rest of the sheep scared and in line.
