Louis,
In fact, it's views like these that keep the DP alive. I applaud
Cindy Sheehan for engaging the Democrats and doing her best to expand
the opposition to the war. And the Nation for announcing that they'll
deny support to national politicians who don't make their opposition
to the war a key campaign issue. *That* does more to erode the power
of ruling class than an exposé a day on the hated reformists. What I
wrote on this (in pre-White House meltdown, pre-Katrina times) still
applies:

Respectfully,

Honestly, I have no objection to people who support the Democratic Party
out of a deeply-felt liberal conviction that small incremental changes to
the capitalist system are as much as we can hope for. Somebody like John
Dewey was the best of this breed. My focus is more on people like Medea
Benjamin who are sabotaging efforts to build a different kind of party in
the name of building that party. She, David Cobba and all the rest of those
people should just get lost.
