The New Democrat Lie
New Democrat this, centrist that. What a bunch of bullshit.
Let's get this straight, once and for all: Clinton won in '92 thanks to Ross Perot. Perot was Bush's Nader. Clinton won by a landslide in '96 thanks to ... Ross Perot! He still would have won had Perot not run, but he would not have won as many electoral votes. It would have been damn close. And this for an incumbent President who raised a record amount of money for a Democrat.
For a lot of Congressional elections, however, the Democrats have lost ground. This new Democrat centrist BS the DLC has been pushing since '92 is a fraud. Republicans have courted their base of religious and conservative activists, and have done quite well by that strategy. Democrats need to do the same, and stop turning off Democratic-leaning voters with their Republican-lite ways.
