The fact is that these DLC folks are ideologically akin to the Bush Administration when it comes to issues of foreign policy. They would rather see the DP lose an election than to see their party supporting a different foreign policy. We should keep in mind that the last Democratic president. Bill Clinton, came right out of the DLC and his heir presumptive and wife, holds foreign policy positions akin to the ones advocated by the DLC.

Carrol Cox has long maintained that we are unlikey to see any progressive advances forward until the DP, as it currently exists, has been destroyed. I suspect that he is right about this.
