So I got a call from our pals at the DSCC tonight [View all]

and, like I've been doing for several years now, I told them I don't donate to the party only to individual candidates.

Predicted response which included a line about protecting Social Security and Medicare. I replied that I wasn't buying that because there were plenty of Democrats who'd go along with a chained CPI and who wouldn't even allow single payer to be mentioned during the health care debate. And I said I was sick of corporate Democrats. I was told by the caller she was hearing that a lot.

This is where it took a new twist.

Did you know, my fellow progressives, that the DSCC is not only working tirelessly to get rid of the Republican senators but also corporate Dems and return the party to it's traditional values? The woman told me that the DSCC wants to elect more senators like Warren, Franken and Sanders and that the DNC is right there with them.

It was news to me as well.
