It's not about Repugs vs Dems but Hawks vs Doves

[LunaC]

In the 1970s the neo-conservatives in the Democratic Party grouped themselves into the Coalition for a Democratic Majority (CDM) to bring the Democratic Party "back to the center". The CDM's two leading lights in Congress were the Democratic Senators Henry "Scoop" Jackson and Patrick Moynihan. It was these two Senators' offices that spawned the Leo Straussian PNACers behind today’s no-exit Iraq War. The CDM was succeeded in the 1990s by the Democratic Leadership Council (DLC) and Jackson remains the model for the DLC crowd today.

PNAC and the DLC are cut from the same cloth so it's really not about Repugs vs Dems but Hawks vs Doves. Remember this the next time you cast a vote for a candidate.
