Rising Hegemon
One member of the DLC's executive council is none other than Koch Industries, the privately held, Kansas-based oil company whose namesake family members are avatars of the far right, having helped to found archconservative institutions like the Cato Institute and Citizens for a Sound Economy. Not only that, but two Koch executives, Richard Fink and Robert P. Hall III, are listed as members of the board of trustees and the event committee, respectively--meaning that they gave significantly more than $25,000.
And thanks to the Supreme Court in Citizens United, it is only going to get worse.

The good ol' Democratic Lesiure Club (apres Rev. Jackson.) So, so surprised they're bought off by those two scumbags.
No, really...I'm just shocked.
money money money.

DLC's job is to warm over conservative concepts and give it the patina of somehow being liberal. one of their think tanks is where the idea of the insurance mandate emanated from.
obama & crew and are willing to call out rush limpballs but not the koch brothers? gee, i wonder why. is there a principle left they haven't sold off to the highest bidder?
