Markos and Warner are Getting a Little Cozy | 99 comments (99 topical, editorial, 0 hidden)

Thanks, Booman (4.00 / 5)

This is a repost of my reply from the orange version:

This is exactly what I'm extremely wary of as well. Despite what people may think individually of Warner - and I've heard good things about him from VA people - he is literally a DLC member. And he does seem to lack ideology, as Booman says here and in an earlier post when he met him in the Philadelphia area.

Quite simply, it is extremely puzzling indeed. And I won't be supporting Warner unless he articulates some clear, progressive positions on the major issues. The fact that he is another equivocator on Iraq is awful.

Of the probable candidates, Russ Feingold is still my man. He's been right on everything.

Re: Thanks, Booman (4.00 / 1)

Feingold.

Yes, he has been right.

PLUS...he's Jewish. (Shhh...!!!)

Which combination in the short-sighted, cowardly world of the weak-minded makes him a sure loser.

And where's the profit in THAT???

I can see it now.

Before It's Too Late for What, Arthur? (4.00 / 5)

It's already too late for the Democratic Party, at least in this iteration. The party is absolutely dominated by "centrists." Most, if not all, of the DLC bashing by major "left" bloggers like Kos has been about tactics, not ideology (hence their pretty enthusiastic feelings about Simon Rosenberg, who's ideologically pretty much where the DLC is, but tactically high tech). The last time a candidate from the actual left wing of the Democratic Party stood any chance whatsoever of winning the nomination was 1988. And the Jesse Jackson campaign, and the hope that it fostered, truly seems like ancient history today. Since then, the major "left" Democratic candidates have been either ex (or not-so-ex) DLCers like Bradley (in 2000) and Dean (in 2004), metaideological "mavericks" like Jerry Brown (in 1992), who was a New Democrat avant le lettre back in the days in which he was enthusiastically supporting Prop 13 as Governor of California, or hopeless candidates like Kucinich (in 2004), the central purpose of whose candidacy was to keep onboard the party the few remaining progressive Democrats more committed to their political principles than to ABGOP fearmongering.

I personally gave up on the Democratic Party in the mid-1990s. But I understand those who feel that the prospects for third parties are so bad that they want to stick with the Dems. I only hope they realize how bad the prospects for progressives within the Democratic Party have become. And if they want to work within the Democratic Party, that they work to oppose party centrists by any means necessary. One thing's for sure: the centrists will continue to treat the left as the enemy, whether or not the left wants to make the largely one-sided battle for the soul of the Democratic Party into something a bit more competitive.

Warner would be disaster/Kos' head swelling. (none / 0)

Warner has a horrible record of getting in ugly wars with other Democrats in Virginia, and running to members of the press (who have no love for members of the Democratic Party) to leak dirt on fellow party members who may disagree with him.

Of course the press loves Warner. The press are drooling to get Warner into the White House and have Warner calling them to drop dirt about fellow Democrats every time he has a minor squabble.

----

Also... Kos doesn't have to endorse Warner to start BANNING people from Daily Kos who criticize Warner. We all know who little it takes for Kos to detonate and start purging members who disagree with him. The "It's Kos' blog, he can allow who he wants to post there" excuse only goes so far once someone starts having national bloggers conference events and they make sure whole damn national event is named after themselves.

Yes... that issue does concern me. What kind of egotistical freak allows a national convention of any kind to be named after HIMSELF?
