And Diebold doesn't own any voting machines anymore Recursion Nov 2014 #1

Those people didn't all die just because they dissolved the DLC. bravenak Nov 2014 #2

OK - but at some point, someone says "Mapco" and someone else stares blankly Algernon Moncrieff Nov 2014 #16

Everybody just starts giving directions to Mapco. bravenak Nov 2014 #21

Only the pitifully uninformed. And God made google for them. merrily Nov 2014 #53

If it quacks like a duck... Wounded Bear Nov 2014 #3

Quacks like a duck, waddles like a duck, swims like a duck and has feathers like a duck hobbit709 Nov 2014 #7

Except that if ducks are extinct, it's clearly not actually a duck. N.T. Donald Ian Rankin Nov 2014 #9

Closely related waterfowl. hobbit709 Nov 2014 #10

Except there's been no "extinction" whatsoever. Just a re-naming of the species. N.T. villager Nov 2014 #12

So call it by it's currrent, correct name. Algernon Moncrieff Nov 2014 #17

Blackwater is fucking Blackwater no matter how they squirm from their defiled brand. TheKentuckian Nov 2014 #31

+1 The DLC stench is not going to disappear because Hillary wants it to. merrily Nov 2014 #55

No, you're wrong. If you co-founded the DLC, you are a DLCer. Nothing changes that. merrily Nov 2014 #54

Moot point. DLC AKA New Democrats, Third Way, Blue Dogs AtomicKitten Nov 2014 #4

...and the purpose of your post is? Cooley Hurd Nov 2014 #5

To let the dozen or so posters accusing DLCers of destroying the party to know the DLC is gone Algernon Moncrieff Nov 2014 #20

Bad analogy. The people who ran Nash or Sudebaker did not simply swap out the names... JHB Nov 2014 #30

Nope. If the DLC destroyed the party, it destroyed the party. merrily Nov 2014 #56

Whatever name by which they might be called . . . markpkessinger Nov 2014 #87

That's okay, I just discovered some DUers don't know the difference between liberalism Rex Nov 2014 #6

I saw that. bravenak Nov 2014 #13

You would think the distinction would be important enough to learn. Rex Nov 2014 #14

I feel sad when they don't know. bravenak Nov 2014 #15

The DLC philosophy lives on, even though the corporation technically dissolved and merrily Nov 2014 #57

Kinda like saying the maggots are all gone.....but, there sure are a lot of flies. Tierra_y_Libertad Nov 2014 #8

Nope. The maggots are all there, too, right along with the flies. Please see Reply 57. merrily Nov 2014 #58

They don't decide who is a DLCer, we do. nt bemildred Nov 2014 #11

No, I think they do. Algernon Moncrieff Nov 2014 #18

Sure we can, who is going to stop us? nt bemildred Nov 2014 #25

Like Marxists ceased to be Marxists once Marx died? Dude, you're just wrong. Face It. merrily Nov 2014 #59

You are wrong at several levels Algernon Moncrieff Nov 2014 #70

IOW, you can't or won't admit you're wrong. No worries. Denial is only the first step. merrily Nov 2014 #77

It's called rebranding. woo me with science Nov 2014 #19

Exactly. This^^^. nt Mnemosyne Nov 2014 #23

Rebranding beats the crap.. 99Forever Nov 2014 #72

Yep. hifiguy Nov 2014 #75

There's quite a push around here lately to make terms like "DLC" and "Third Way" taboo. Marr Nov 2014 #81

Trashing thread now. Not just Third Way talking points, woo me with science Nov 2014 #22

Whoa. This really IS an infiltration. Jesus, Thanks for posting! RiverLover Nov 2014 #24

Exactly. Everyone knows what a "DLCer" is -- just as they know what a "Xerox copy" is villager Nov 2014 #26

Exactly... bandaid, kleenex, Blackwater, etc. TorchTheWitch Nov 2014 #32

Please make this an OP so, I can Rec It. Thanks! Tuesday Afternoon Nov 2014 #51

They just had a name change. Here you go.... madfloridian Nov 2014 #27

So they are now Third Wayers Algernon Moncrieff Nov 2014 #34

Nope, we have too many Tea party types. madfloridian Nov 2014 #36

It's really like three states Algernon Moncrieff Nov 2014 #37

And inland Central Florida is a world unto itself. madfloridian Nov 2014 #39

Yeah, all their leading members are too busying selling out the country in the highest TheKentuckian Nov 2014 #29

"No, you aren't going to be allowed to pretend away what they are from seed uncontested. " Algernon Moncrieff Nov 2014 #35

How about "from seed, uncontested" Maybe that might work for you better. TheKentuckian Nov 2014 #44

I understand what you are saying now Algernon Moncrieff Nov 2014 #47

I'm a Sherod Brown guy myself, Warren is not my first choice but she seems more reasonable than most TheKentuckian Nov 2014 #85

At least be honest. Third Way is an actual organization. 'There might be third-wayers' is a false Bluenorthwest Nov 2014 #33

My intent was to indicate that one might accurately use those terms Algernon Moncrieff Nov 2014 #38

The DLC think tank spawned a number of other think tanks, including Progressive Policy Institute, merrily Nov 2014 #62

You can only name one active member of congress who doesnt meet your purity test?...really pkdu Nov 2014 #78

Not "my" purity test, but, did I say that list of two names was all inclusive? merrily Nov 2014 #79

Must add the Massachusetts delegation. (How could I have omitted?) merrily Nov 2014 #84

To all insisting that the DLC lives: what do you think of Republicans who still rail against ACORN? muriel_volestrangler Nov 2014 #40

Thank you for making the point I was really trying to make Algernon Moncrieff Nov 2014 #41

If by ACORN they mean the idea they couldn't kill by ratfucking ACORN... Orsino Nov 2014 #42

How many members of ACORN are in the highest levels of government TheKentuckian Nov 2014 #45

Not the same at all. The DLC philosphy lives and those who founded the DLC are still controlling merrily Nov 2014 #63

a rose by any other name.... cali Nov 2014 #43

You're fooling yourself. MerryBlooms Nov 2014 #46

No, I'm stating a fact everyone here seems to want to ignore Algernon Moncrieff Nov 2014 #48

The DLC think tank dissolved. The philosophy still exists. merrily Nov 2014 #64

Marx was a philosopher. The DLC was more like a club or a PAC Algernon Moncrieff Nov 2014 #66

Absolutely untrue (as to the DLC). It promoted a philosophy, just like Marx did. merrily Nov 2014 #67

The DLC is an organzation Algernon Moncrieff Nov 2014 #71

Don't call others obtuse while you are being both disingenous and obtuse. merrily Nov 2014 #73

Just because the pig has applied a new shade of lipstick ..... marmar Nov 2014 #50

We know that think tank folded. Big deal. There are still DLC types and DLCers. merrily Nov 2014 #52

They run the party. They don't need a different label anymore. They're just "Democrats" Xithras Nov 2014 #61

The DLC was a think tank. It put out a philosophy. Those who buy into it are DLCers, even merrily Nov 2014 #65

Public Service Announcement. The DLC think tank dissolved. DLCers, though, are alive and well merrily Nov 2014 #68

There are some differences, due to the history of the Democratic Party merrily Nov 2014 #93

Thanks Skippy - TBF Nov 2014 #74

There are plenty of sitting reps and senators, former presidents, etc who were DLC'ers though. It is Erose999 Nov 2014 #76

Rebranding doesn't erase the past, sorry. Marr Nov 2014 #80

Changing the brand name or logo LWolf Nov 2014 #82

And there are no longer any Whigs but that doesn't mean their attitudes aren't still around hobbit709 Nov 2014 #83

And this post is trying to accomplish what exactly? MirrorAshes Nov 2014 #88

Ooohhh -- yes, look at a posts with suspicion Algernon Moncrieff Nov 2014 #89

Sure you are. MirrorAshes Nov 2014 #91
