Katrina vanden Heuvel waxes wroth that
Well, I never thought I would have a good word to say for Beinart, but I'm with him 100% on this one. I think all Democrats should be made to swear an oath vowing support for ongoing war in Iraq, upcoming war in Iran, ethnic cleansing of the Palestinians, fifty-cent gasoline, and the exportation of all jobs better-paid than chambermaid and worse-paid than investment banker, to India.
Peter Beinart, for example, who was a supporter of the Iraq disaster ... has joined New Dems like Al From in urging Democrats to prove their resolve by purging the left from the Democratic party....

It's high time the Democratic Party took a stand for its principles. No more shilly-shallying. If you're not with the program, you don't belong in the party.

MJS - We should all make sure to keep this article so we can each send it to vanden Heuvel in October 2008, when she will predictably be begging and pleading for us to vote for Hillary...

Remember, though. Only Nader's millions are relevant in an election year. If you bring up vandenH's, it's cheating... ;)

Wait, wasn't that fifty cent gas and Palestine ethinic cleaning thing in the donk '04 platform? Yeah, I sure it was. Right around the place where they define man/woman marriage.

Good list:
I think all Democrats should be made to swear an oath vowing support for ongoing war in Iraq, upcoming war in Iran, ethnic cleansing of the Palestinians, fifty-cent gasoline, and the exportation of all jobs better-paid than chambermaid and worse-paid than investment banker, to India.
But you forgot the requiremnt to suck up to the religious right and talk ad naseum about "spiritual values". We really don't want any atheists or freethinkers in the Democratic Party.
It could scare swing voters in the Midwest.
