Interesting quote from the Frist news article on Yahoo news.

[Check12]

Less than a week ago, a former White House official was arrested in the Abramoff investigation.

For Republicans, the timing couldn't be worse.

"The last thing you needed was a Martha Stewart problem," Marshall Wittman, a one-time conservative activist who now works for the centrist Democratic Leadership Council, said of Frist. "He doesn't even have a good clothing line or a popular television show."

Stewart, the homemaking doyenne, served five months in federal prison for lying to authorities about a stock deal and nearly six months more in home confinement.

Ok let's look at this closely; who the fuck is Marshall Wittman?
"a one-time Conservative activist that now works for the DLC" ?????

Hmmm... A one-time conservative activist working for the DLC? Do you suppose he is still a conservative activist working for the DLC? How many other Conservative activists work for the DLC?

2. Thom Hartmann says

the DLC is the neo-con attempt at infiltrating the dem party. I think he's right.

[Chimichurri]

4. absolutely! We need some a serious purge in '06

[FreedomAngel82]

15. Yes!

For sure. The only way we're going to do that is if we find better person to replace the current DLCers who hold senate and house seats. That's one reason why I'm glad Howard Dean is the DNC chairman. He's a real democrat (even if he is moderate/conservative) and understands this. I definitley think the DLC wants to get rid of the true party. They also like corporations as well.

14. Me too

It sucks having two democrats who are running for the Senate in my state be in the DLC. *sigh*

Resist the DLC, and any of its candidates! I'm telling you... it is a Republican plot to take over the Democratic Party, or at least assimilate us to their ideologies. I will spend every ounce of my energy to resist them and their influence on the electds and the policies of this Party!

5. Out them at every turn. They are not Democrats.

[FreedomAngel82]

16. But what if you have a situation like I do

and have two DLCers running for the senate and the other option is a republican? :shrug:

7. Ding Ding Ding

He worked for Christian Coalition...... Ding Ding Ding

[acmejack]

8. Wow, a lobbyist, Heritage Foundation guy, & a bush appointee!

Oh, I missed the Christian Coalition! This person isn't a Dem by any stretch.

[The Backlash Cometh]

11. We don't need his kind in the party.

The Dems have enough of their own bastards, and I hope we can ger rid of those too.

[FreedomAngel82]

18. The article didn't say he was one

They said he was a conservative now working for the DLC.

[arcane1]

9. Heritage Foundation, Christian Coalition...

and now the fucking DLC???

One more proof that a major purge is needed :grr:

[The Backlash Cometh]

12. Revolving door for moles.

Stupid is as stupid does.

[FreedomAngel82]

17. So now that I've read his bio

why the hell is he at the DLC??

[The Backlash Cometh]

10. I was thinking the same thing.

Why the hell do these Democrats use the same advisors or law firms as the Republicans? If they're trying to prove that we belong to a one party country, they're succeeding.

[FreedomAngel82]

13. I wonder too

This is one reason why I don't trust the DLC as a whole. :\ I think the whole thing with Frist was very fishy. He knew damn well what was going to happen. I betcha Malloy was right and his brother or something called him and told him. The timing is just way too perfect. Wouldn't it be funny if he had to go to jail too?
