Unprecedented unity by EmoProg FireBaggers

[MannyGoldstein]

Has led to Larry "Toonces" Summers being kept from more mischief, JP Morgan actually paying a fine of some non-trivial sum, the Monsanto Protection Act getting 86ed, a Congressional Democratic revolt against war in Syria, and other substantial wins for the American People.

Keep up the good work!

We're just getting started!

Regards,

First-Way Manny

2. Ah, EmoProgs, how dare they!

[djean111]

3. I believe we emo-progs are not the group who should sit down and shut up.

[MannyGoldstein]

4. I believe you're right.

Damned right!

5. I am always pleased when I see First-Way Manny posting.

That means the Democratic Party has done something good. Third-Way Manny's posts, on the other hand, always signal that the Democratic Party has done something that harms the American people. He's usually right in his analysis, of course, but Third-Way Manny is such a downer.

6. But I thought Putin prevented the war in Syria?

[Bluenorthwest]

21. I'm sure you did.

Others know better.

[JoePhilly]

26. that was being pushed by DU's Combustible Hair Club

You mean they were wrong?

[Cali_Democrat]

46. "Combustible Hair Club"

LOL

[MannyGoldstein]

53. Um, do we have a reading comprehension issue here?

Did I state a disagreement with your thesis? I don't see one.

[Zorra]

7. The Third Way is in a tizzy! They're rallying the troops to stop this leftward movement!

FDR was a racist traitor commie Snowdenite
emotarian Paulista!!1!

[MannyGoldstein]

9. FDR purposely made the Great Depression worse!

"We didn't actually, I think, do what Franklin Delano Roosevelt did, which was basically wait for six months until the thing had gotten so bad that it became an easier sell politically because we thought that was irresponsible"
- Pres. Barack Obama

Is Obama a secret Tea-Bagger at heart? (Obama vs FDR Pt. 1)

[Zorra]

35. From that article: "In recent years, as a vast campaign against the memory of the New Deal has

gathered steam..."


An observation that could really knock our socks off.

[Doctor_J]

51. that's our prez - hates FDR, loves Reagan

It's good that he ran against Palin and then Willard. Saved me a lot of anguish deciding whether to vote or not

13. First-way Manny?

I know this guy named Third-Way Manny.

Any relation?

[zeemike]

14. I am still trying to figure out whether I am an EmoProg or not.

But if that is what they are doing I am for it...keep up the good work.

[QC]

15. You might well be an emotarian.

One never knows.

[NuclearDem]

28. Easy way to determine that:

Has Third Way Spanny ragged on your particular view of liberalism? If so, you are an emotarian.

[zeemike]

31. It would not matter if he did to me.

I respect his opinion, and the majority of the time agree with him...
If he is an EmoProg then so am I.

[NuclearDem]

33. Oh, I meant Spandan from that horrible People's View blog.

Of course not our resident Third Way Manny.

[zeemike]

34. Oh that guy.

Yes he has ragged on most of what I believe in.

[QC]

39. How are we to get by without our hourly updates from The Peehole Spew?

DU has truly been deprived of a great source of wisdom.

[BelgianMadCow]

16. Seen good defence by Pres & Congress, and unity on DU

now onwards with some offence!

18. First the Centrists ignore you.

Then they laugh at you.
Then they fight you.
Then you win.

[Hutzpa]

19. Hey! What happen to Third Way Manny?

Hope he is doing ok cause I haven't seen him around, anyway this new dude is a charm.

[ProSense]

22. Does this mean

"Has led to Larry "Toonces" Summers being kept from more mischief, JP Morgan actually paying a fine of some non-trivial sum, the Monsanto Protection Act getting 86ed, a Congressional Democratic revolt against war in Syria, and other substantial wins for the American People."

...that Obama's Presidency is not a failure?

You forgot health care: http://www.democraticunderground.com/10023906596

Oh, and don't forget to stop cuts to food stamps.

Senate passes SNAP cuts on a bipartisan 66-27 vote.

Excellent quote.

[Pretzel_Warrior]

27. You're forgetting something BIG

Your artificial bifurcation of Democrats into "true progressives" and 3rd way Republican wannabes notwithstanding, they ALL came together as united front in both the house and senate on a number of issues.

[leftstreet]

36. What issues?

they ALL came together as united front in both the house and senate on a number of issues.

[BluegrassStateBlues]

37. Opposition to the limited military strike on Syria had nothing to do with "revolt"

Those in opposition were merely useful idiots that helped make it appear to all the right people that the President meant business.

The threat of military action was what solved the Syrian crisis and resulted in them giving up their chemical weapons.

The JP Morgan fine was a result of Eric Holder, an Obama appointee and Larry Summers was never even being considered. In politics, 'anonymous White House official' usually means bullshit.

But if it makes you feel good to think these "EmoProg Firebaggers," whatever they are, have any kind of meaningful influence or a monopoly on good ideas... that's just fine. Just be sure to vote in 2014 and 2016 for the goddamn candidates we tell you to vote for after the padded room candidates are eliminated in the primaries.

[MannyGoldstein]

44. So virtually all Democrats in Congress were against attacking Syria

and ready to stop it, as a way of demonstrating our resolve to attack?

Must be the eleventy-dimensional thing that I keep reading about and don't understand.

I am glad to hear that Toonces wasn't actually being considered. I don't know where I got that notion from.

[xchrom]

38. !

[malaise]

40. What happened to TWM???

I'm shocked I tell you - shocked!!!

[woo me with science]

42. Time to seize the narrative. Time to demand real help and solutions,

not just limit the assaults.

[MannyGoldstein]

45. Ding-ding-ding-ding-ding-ding-ding-ding!!!

We have a winner.

It's time.

[Doctor_J]

52. With this president and Harry in charge?

[JaneyVee]

47. Toonces. Haha!

[MannyGoldstein]

48. You remember what happened *last* time Larry had a say in US economic policy...

[JaneyVee]

49. I like to call him Larry "Endgame" Summers. Toonces is hilarious!

[MannyGoldstein]

54. I'll be here all week.

Don't forget to tip your server.

[nadinbrzezinski]

50. Did Third Way Manny take a vacation?

Or is the Third way in retreat?

(Hilarious post by the way)

[woo me with science]
