Should folks oppose all members of the DLC who run for office?
There are quite a few DLC members in Congress and in elected positions in States? Should they all be challenged?

1. Not Really A Good Idea, Ma'am
For better or worse, there is a sizeable centerist component in the Party, and it cannot be done without unless permanent minority status is accepted.

2. How do they vote? Do they undermine legislation with pork and stifling
amendments?

I am of the mind, that 97% of the voting public have no idea the names of their representatives, let alone their affiliations (DLC).

Glazed over eyes, and pitiful shrugs await.

8. Really? So Tom Udall who voted against IWR
and has a pretty liberal record, is a crook? How about Jay Inslee? Or Governor Sebelius?

5. The DLC has been infiltrated by warmongering...
...neocons who are on the same side as Bush when it comes to
eroding our civil rights, disrespecting our Democracy and
turning this nation into some kind of corporate-run playground
that benefits the uber rich and greedy--and destroys the middle
class..

Let's get something straight. There should be no equivocation about this.

There is a disease in our government. It started with the PNAC group who
decided that America needed to dominate the world--militarily. They slowly
amassed power, and then gained significant power during the Bush administration.

These people are criminals. They hate democracy. They are dismantling it.
They are illegally wiretapping. They are torturing. They have taken away
Habeas Corpus. They want unending war--to plunder resources and to make trillions
for themselves. They're bankrupting our nation.

When these people gained significant power during the Bush Administration, many
Democrats capitulated and went over to the dark side. There are Democratic
neocons. They vote for more war and they stand idly by while our democracy
is eviscerated.

Many of these Democratic neocons are in the DLC. These people need to be eradicated
from our party, and out of public office. They are unAmerican. They are a stain
on our history.

No one is against "centrist" Democrats. Or even pro-life Democrats, or Democrats who
are more socially conservative. We have a big tent. However, there should be NO ROOM
for these Fascist unpatriotic Democrats who are on board with the neocon agenda.

For the sake of the Democratic party, these DLC neocons must be kicked to the curb.

9. Actually, quite a few DLC members are liberals
who opposed the war. A case in point is Tom Udall, Rep from NM who is running for the Senate.

Broad brushes suck.

10. Hear, hear!
DLC is a subversive organization that wants to turn the Democratic party into a submissive branch of the republican party.
