In reply to the discussion: Debbie Wasserman Schultz considering 2016 Senate bid [View all]merrily
(45,251 posts)69. Baloney. Dems is a common way to refer to Democrats; you used lower case for "new and
you also claimed that Kaine could not be a New Democrat because he was on wiki's list of members of the Congressional New Democrat Coalition. Clearly, you were clueless and now you are trying to pretend you were not clueless. However it's obvious.
That wasn't true in 2009, but was true the rest of his three year term.
Uh huh. And I never said it was true throughout his entire term. It's been true through DWS's though, but I didn't even say that part, either.
The next time you want to bash a fairly decent Senator, get your facts straight.
I had my facts straight. You did not.
I did not bash Kaine. I correctly noted mentioned that the DLC had had New Democrat heads, one for the 2010 midterm and one for the 2014 midterm. Referring to every fact I mention as "bashing" is untrue, babyish and boring.
Also stalking a poster who does not agree with you with false accusations of "bashing" and false accusations of errors and calling them names you pull out of your ear is not what most people consider "engaging."
You need, at a minimum a dictionary and maybe a thesaurus. And probably a lot more respect for facts.
I cannot recall one post you've made to me that did anything but attempt to hector me and accuse me falsely. I cannot pretend I will miss that. So, I do hope you mean your farewell.

Um, we lost the House in 2010, 2012 and 2014. DWS gets credit (blame) for two of those.
