So, have we decided who we are purging from the party yet? [View all] LostInAnomie Nov 2014 OP

The idea of favoring liberals over conservatives really seems to worry you Scootaloo Nov 2014 #1

Yes, that would be how someone with no understanding of politics would see it. LostInAnomie Nov 2014 #2

I understand that that's the "delivered wisdom." Scootaloo Nov 2014 #5

Yeah, I'm sure she would have faired much better by coming out for gun control... LostInAnomie Nov 2014 #7

Would she have won by being MORE conservative, Lost? Scootaloo Nov 2014 #8

crickets. Phlem Nov 2014 #11

Would she have won running on Bernie Sanders platform? LostInAnomie Nov 2014 #13

Would being MORE CONSERVATIVE have resulted in a win for her? Scootaloo Nov 2014 #15

You're awfully devoted to an argument that no one has made. LostInAnomie Nov 2014 #18

Your argument is that we need conservative democrats to win conservative states Scootaloo Nov 2014 #26

LOL! Rex Nov 2014 #30

Are we just making shit up now? LostInAnomie Nov 2014 #37

Well, no, that's the argument you present in post #2 Scootaloo Nov 2014 #41

"Well, okay. So we need to run conservative Democrats to win conservative states, right? " LostInAnomie Nov 2014 #65

wait, whuut? Phlem Nov 2014 #67

Do we know their "unelectability" for certain? Scootaloo Nov 2014 #78

Where did you get your numbers Aerows Nov 2014 #79

Calm your pathetic indignation. LostInAnomie Nov 2014 #88

How do they feel about KYnect? The Kentucky plan? bravenak Nov 2014 #90

Even Kynect only has a 29% approval. LostInAnomie Nov 2014 #93

Maybe we should just run Liberals anyway. bravenak Nov 2014 #94

No, our job is to run as Democrats. LostInAnomie Nov 2014 #95

Democrats yes, but not democrats dressed as republicans. bravenak Nov 2014 #96

What did Grimes do that woulld qualify as dressing as a Republican? LostInAnomie Nov 2014 #98

She coulda admitted to voting for the Democratic President. bravenak Nov 2014 #99

Meh... It's not really anyone's business. LostInAnomie Nov 2014 #102

Agreed. bravenak Nov 2014 #105

"You either accept the leftmost position available fully or you aren't a true liberal" AgingAmerican Nov 2014 #101

Reading comprehension. LostInAnomie Nov 2014 #107

She would have come out much better if she could boast that her party had helped homeowners JDPriestly Nov 2014 #100

Well, everyone can't be an Alison Lundergan Grimes. Marr Nov 2014 #6

Yeah, I'm sure if only she would have backed gun control more... LostInAnomie Nov 2014 #10

Did you know there are liberal issues that aren't gun control or solar power? Marr Nov 2014 #104

The Third Way see everything through Republican eyes AgingAmerican Nov 2014 #106

Yeah-- isn't that bizarre? That's the kind of summary of liberalism I'd expect from Marr Nov 2014 #108

All this fuss over a group of libertarian investment bankers. Rex Nov 2014 #24

Yeah, I find it hilarious that Marr Nov 2014 #109

I have noticed that too. bravenak Nov 2014 #3

I usually do that by Phlem Nov 2014 #12

I thought a purge involved a green juice of some sort? bravenak Nov 2014 #14

Well the 'conspiracy ploy' didn't work, the 'lets talk about people and not a think tank' Rex Nov 2014 #22

Now I need a joint!! bravenak Nov 2014 #33

That's what we can call us 'weak liberals' and 'strong liberals'. Rex Nov 2014 #35

Please stop making me laugh. bravenak Nov 2014 #36

I, for one, welcome our supreme mega liberal overlord! Rex Nov 2014 #39

I'm planning the resistance. bravenak Nov 2014 #45

Well how many years have thousands of people in here been saying over and over Rex Nov 2014 #49

I have no idea why anyone thinks a Republican will be fooled by us dressing up as one of them. bravenak Nov 2014 #54

He called himself "amazing" Aerows Nov 2014 #40

That did NOT happen!?!? bravenak Nov 2014 #43

It did. Aerows Nov 2014 #47

Now that I know, I can just not take it seriously. bravenak Nov 2014 #53

Sounds like it to me, too Aerows Nov 2014 #55

Yep. This is a show. bravenak Nov 2014 #59

Why so serious? Aerows Nov 2014 #61

I can smell bullshit from a mile a way. bravenak Nov 2014 #63

I didn't get an education from the school of hard knocks Aerows Nov 2014 #69

Once you smell it once, you can never forget it.nt bravenak Nov 2014 #72

I thought most of them already got purged last week. W_HAMILTON Nov 2014 #9

Ask The Third Way. THEY have been purging Liberals for several decades now. Any actual Progressive sabrina 1 Nov 2014 #17

You mean voters have been purging them. LostInAnomie Nov 2014 #20

Wrong, in 2010 voters made sure almost all the Progressive Dems retained their seats. Had the Third sabrina 1 Nov 2014 #27

Yeah, Alan Grayson is a real conserva-dem. LostInAnomie Nov 2014 #31

You tell me, you came up with the idea that there was some great purging going on. Rex Nov 2014 #19

If there isn't going to be a purge, then what is the fucking point... LostInAnomie Nov 2014 #21

The point is just to waste more of your time. Rex Nov 2014 #23

I didn't create it. LostInAnomie Nov 2014 #28

Yes you did. Rex Nov 2014 #29

Oh, I think we will see a few more from this person alone. bravenak Nov 2014 #57

+1 n/t Aerows Nov 2014 #60

Probably right as to this one, but I am 100% sure other posters started almost identical threads. merrily Nov 2014 #62

They have found a Dragon to Slay!!! bravenak Nov 2014 #64

"Move to the right" would be a subject one could discuss with a modicum of intelligence. merrily Nov 2014 #68

Thank you for that link. It explains how I feel right now. bravenak Nov 2014 #71

Maybe, but I firmly believe some posters post for message control. merrily Nov 2014 #82

You assume that Democrats in red states think like Republicans AgingAmerican Nov 2014 #103

Well considering that the south has been sending DINOs to DC for the last 30+ years is no reason to IdiocracyTheNewNorm Nov 2014 #110

Frankly, red Dems would be first on my list. GeorgeGist Nov 2014 #111
