The official blame the DLC for everything thread

[BL611]

Yes the greatest thread in the history of DU!!!!Blame something on the DLC, anything, no nuance, moderation, or logic on this thread please!!!



What??Is there some sort of pool to this like the Hillary thread??

What did I say before???Thats none of your goddamn business!!


What??Isn't this thread identical to almost half the threads on this site??
What are you the liberal media? Get off my ass!!!!

[BL611]

1. I'll even start

My train was too crowded this morning...It's the DLC'S FAULT!!!!!

[Teaser]

2. My ass hurts.

and I'm sure, somehow, that it's New Democrats what is responsible.

[Neil Lisst]

3. a tree fell on my house during hurricane Rita

I blame Al From, that fat little four eyed bastid.

[mmonk]

4. Yeah, that'll show those nasty out of the mainstream liberals

how ridiculous they are.:eyes:

[The Backlash Cometh]

5. I'm not properly represented! It's the DLC's fault!

Oh, sorry. I missed the spirit of this thread.

[BL611]

9. No please continue

I'm sorry for my sarcasm, please unleash your fury on the DLC, do it for my gambling habierr... I mean do it for the children!!

[meegbear]

6. I have simple chronic halitosis ...

damn you DLC!!!

[MGKrebs]

7. It's the DLC's fault that it's so hard to open CD jewel cases.

... without breaking them.

And if it isn't, it should be.

[DBoon]

22. The DLC is owned by the entertainment industry

They want jewel cases to break so you have to buy more overpriced entertainment

It's all a nefarious plot to oppress the common man

[MarsThe Cat]

8. Because of the DLC- i have a moran for a president.

nt.

[porphyrian]

10. Can you direct me to the "Have the DLC take responsibility...

...for its actions in steering our party to the losses of three major elections" thread? I thought you might be related.

[endarkenment]

11. The Democratic Party is almost indistinguishable from the

Republican Party! I'm sure that it's the DLC's fault.

Oops, sorry, wrong thread. Ignore.

[BL611]

14. No right thread please continue...

As for you little dontblametheDLCforeverything smart asses, why don't you just go back to Freeperville and take 98% of the country with you! I'm sorry, I didn't mean to do it!!! Its just so easy, please ignore me and continue...

[Coexist]

12. the darn DLC helped shift the entire country to the right...

and helped the corporate money/influence machine to apply to Democrats as well as Republicans in equal shares, causing corporate friendly legislation to pass almost non-stop with little resistance, except from the "far left" which used to be the "centrist left"

Ha ha ha... isn't that funny!

[BiggJawn]

13. It's the DLC's fault Evan Bayh is such a pussy.

Wait-That one has a shred of truth in it!

[BL611]

15. Yes it does

Nuance detector alert!!!Game Over!!!! But we should still continue it is fun after all....

[meganmonkey]

16. Having a rough day, man?

You know, once in a while it can be a good idea to step away from the keyboard and take a break. :shrug:

[BL611]

18. Nothing cures rough days

like gamblinerr posting on DU!

[William769]

17. The DLC...

Will be the savior of the Democratic Party & America!

[JHB]

19. Sorry, I leave narrow-minded knee-jerk attacks on other Dems to...

...the DLC.

[JAbuchan08]

20. I'm not allowed to criticize the president

'spirit-of-civility' and all that rot. I think it has something to do with the kid-gloves the DLC wears. Also I am apparently now a freaky commie leftist.

[DBoon]

21. the coffee at work sucks

no doubt Lieberman caused it.

If we had real democrats in the senate, I could drink good coffee all day.

[KG]

23. heck, i would never blame everything on the DLC,

just the fact that the dem party is totally out of power.

[LoZoccolo]

24. 2+ years of blaming the DLC and a lot of people still don't know...

...who they are. A lot of people I've met who are active in Democratic Party functions who I've met through Illinois Dem Net don't even know about them, much less people who don't spend a lot of time thinking about politics. I have a few thoughts on complaining about the DLC.

- The people complaining about the DLC aren't expending much energy in defeating them beyond complaining on the Internet, hence not many people really even know about them.
- With the amount of time people spend complaining about the DLC, they could be getting support for the actual issues they care about. If they actually worked and went to the people and got support for their issues, the Democrats could easily support them.

25. Just went to DLC web- holy sh*t 90% is neocon and conservapig

B.S.

who wrote this David Frum?

Some of these ideas have merit, some sound like repug talking points.
Has there been a discussion about these "initiatives" with rank and file dems?

http://www.dlc.org/ndol_ci.cfm?kaid=86&subid=194&contentid=1926
A rapidly changing global environment in which American values and interests are predominant, but in which we face a new series of international challenges based not on a monolithic threat from another superpower, but on regional instability, economic rivalries, ethnic conflicts, rogue states, and terrorism.

As New Democrats, we believe in a Third Way that rejects the old left-right debate and affirms America's basic bargain: opportunity for all, responsibility from all, and community of all.

We believe in expanding trade and investment because we must be a party of economic progress, not economic reaction.

We believe that global markets demand global rules and institutions to ensure fair competition and to provide checks and balances on private power.

We believe the Democratic Party's mission is to expand opportunity, not government.

We believe in a new social compact that requires and rewards work in exchange for public assistance and that ensures that no family with a full-time worker will live in poverty.

We believe in enhancing the role that civic entrepreneurs, voluntary groups, and religious institutions play in tackling America's social ills.

Strengthen America's Families
While the steady reduction in the number of two-parent families of the last 40 years has slowed, more than one-third of our children still live in one- or no-parent families. There is a high correlation between a childhood spent with inadequate parental support and an adulthood spent in poverty or in prison.

26. The DLC is directly responsible

For that bad call in the World Series game last night.

Fucking bastards!
