Reading the Daily Kos


"Defeating Liebercrats" tells about subverting the election process

There are reasons why I don't often cite things from Daily Kos. This shows many of them. Emphasis in original.

There are a handful of Democratic (and formerly-Democratic) politicians that many among the netroots would like to see, let us say, "brought home" to the real Democratic Party, if not replaced outright through the primary election process.

Joe Lieberman, of course, was replaced by Connecticut Democrats, only to be returned to office by Connecticut Republicans. And in the coming election cycle, California Congresswoman Ellen Tauscher has attracted the eyes of Democrats who actually like Democratic policies and wonder why her 58%-for-Kerry district doesn't deserve some more.

Joe Lieberman wasn't replaced Connecticut Democrats, he was sabotaged by the national Democrat leadership in a series of moves calculated to mock the primary process. That represents what is wrong with BOTH major parties.

Even in this post, the emphasis is on unified power for the Democrat party, not who would serve the people best.

That should tell you something.
