Harold Ford is a Pimp

Former Tennessee Congressman Harold Ford is such a pimp for spineless, play-republican DINOs that he managed to lose a Senate race in the Democratic Year of 2006.

And current Democratic Leadership Conference chair Harold Ford is such a pimp for whatshername that he was just on MSNBC making the desperate case for an Obama-whatshername ticket in November.

As I wrote in March, this is a worse idea than Brussel Sprouts-flavored ice cream.

I am fairly confident that even if Obama's instinct for reconciliation gets the better of him, whatshername will be on the ticket over Michelle Obama's dead body.

Nevertheless, we need to start planning now for the final dismemberment of the republicans at the DLC after Obama's victory in November. By the traditional definition - giving aid and comfort to the enemy - the DLC is a traitor to the Democratic Party, and to the Ideals of American Liberals that have sustained the Democratic Party and led it to victory for more than a century.

Yes, the DLC gave birth to the Bill Clinton presidency. But starting in 1994, the DLC has been directly and completely responsible for every Democratic loss throughout the nation.

Deliberately defying Harry Truman's wisdom that in a contest between a real republican and a fake one, people will always choose the real thing, the DLC has run nothing but fake republicans, thus ensuring the victory of real republicans in state after state, year after year.

Democrats who win are real Democrats like Louisville's John Yarmuth, who stand up on their hind legs and proclaim themselves as Proud Liberal Democrats.

Democrats who lose are pretend republicans like Harold Ford, and Hillary Clinton, and Bruce Lunsford.

Enough. No More DINOs.
