Hillary wants a cease-fire!

From Political Wire via Howie in Seattle:

"In the wake of terrorist attacks abroad, a procession of potential Democratic presidential candidates" at the DLC conference in Ohio "raised sharp questions about the Republican leadership's handling of national security," the New York Times reports. Meanwhile, a Washington Post piece on the conference notes Sen. Hillary Clinton (D-NY) called "for a cease-fire among warring factions of the Democratic Party, arguing that a united front is needed to reverse the party's recent electoral defeats and halt the advance of conservative Republican ideology." As for a cease-fire, its seems Kos, Sirota and Atrios want no part of it."-from Political Wire.

Heh. The problem is that Hillary wants a cease-fire on her (and the DLC's) terms. What she fails to understand is that the DLC did only two things in the last 24 months: alienate millions of Democrats, including many elected officials who requested to be removed from their membership rolls, and continue an ongoing and ugly losing streak.

See, when you're the US and you've just beaten the shit out of Germany in WWII or vaporized entire cities in Japan, you call a cease-fire on your terms (and by the way, think Bush would act with the restraintand dignity that was shown in those agreements?). When you're the DLC and you can't muster a winning campaign no matter how many Joe Lieberman's and John Kerry's suckle at your corporate teat, you don't get to call cease-fires unless you're telling your own shills to sit down, shut up, and learn from the progressives who are actually changing this country. It's time for a little humility out of Cincinnati, instead of continued attacks on hard-working grassroots Democrats.

Thanks for the advice, Hillary, but when we're done knocking on doors and actually working for the Democratic Party, we'll let you know the conditions of the cease-fire.
