Is Kaine DLC?

[SPKrazy]

Just wondering

he said nothing of substance as far as I can tell


Of course neither did *

[jackpan1260]

1. Yes, like Gore, Kerry, etc. eom

[liberalnurse]

3. No he is not.......

No....

[SPKrazy]

6. Okay, I've got 2 saying yes, 1 saying no

Now I'm not sure what to believe

[SPKrazy]

4. I don't think Kerry is

Don't know about Gore, but I sure don't think Kerry is.

[FreedomAngel82]

9. From what I understand with Kerry

is he is listed as DLC but he hasn't affiliated with the group since 2003. Just because one is DLC doesn't mean one is republican-lite. Kerry is very progressive and the beloved Al Gore was a founder.

[SPKrazy]

16. I Remember Al Gore Was Quite Conservative in 1988

Then again but a little less in 1992

and not very conservative that I can tell at all anymore

5. careful, they hate when you say that.

:evilgrin:

[SPKrazy]

I asked a question

I'm just always curious about who is DLC

DLC were the majority of those who blocked a filibuster that could have defeated Scalito

[JanusAscending]

14. EXCUSE ME???

or did you just forget to use the "sarcasm" symbol? I hope that is indeed the case, or your'e not long on these boards!!!:evilfrown:

[Pastiche423]

2. YES!

Kaine is a DLCer.

[redherring]

7. Yes, just like Clinton

EOM

[Neshanic]

8. You could not tell from that speech? It's pure DLC.

[saracat]

Those were DNC talking points as approved by Dean.

We can do better and together we can do better are the new DNC catch phrases. I told Dean they sucked and they still do. They think they get GOP votes with those!

[SPKrazy]

18. It's Not That They Just Suck, It's That They Are Hard To Deliver

without looking phony

"we can do better"

it just is hard to have any passion, or at least it was for Kaine

10. Kaine is a Succesful Democrat

Who is the most liberal governor that VA has seen in a long while.

[SPKrazy]

13. Apparently he is DLC

From the website raising kaine:

Here in the United States, the lead organization which has pushed the “Third Way” agenda has been the Democratic Leadership Council (DLC). Significantly, two leading members of the DLC hail from Virginia — Governor Mark Warner and Lt. Governor Tim Kaine. Interestingly, the DLC is often attacked by the Left Wing of the Democratic Party as too conservative. Which makes it all the more ironic that Jerry Kilgore has been desperately attempting to paint Tim Kaine, DLC member, as a doctrinaire “liberal.” This is, quite simply, a lie. Let’s state it as clearly as possible: Tim Kaine is a member of the “Third Way, ” centrist DLC. In that respect, he is NOT a leftist or a “liberal” — not that there’s anything wrong with that, as Jerry Seinfeld might say. Still, Tim Kaine is a centrist through and through, no matter how desperately Jerry Kilgore might try to claim otherwise (sadly, that lie appears to be Jerry Kilgore’s only argument against Tim Kaine).

11. Rich White Guy

Oh wait, a Rich White Guy who loves Jesus.

[Joe the Revelator]

12. Oh give me a break

Some of you guys are just as close minded as the pubs, only reversed.

[toddaa]

17. Are you saying he's not rich?

I was just guessing on that. He certainly is white and boy does he love Jesus.

[SPKrazy]

19. I don't hold being white or loving Jesus against him

I do hold it against him if he supports corporations over individuals

I don't know that he does that but it seems a lot of DLC'ers do.

[acmejack]

15. Yes, he is.
