Reply #118: I'm not the one who needs to try again and your memory is really bad

First, let's deal with the idea that these weren't "DLC accomplishments" they were "Clinton's accomplishments." Well, since Clinton was a member of the DLC and, in fact, Chairman of the DLC in 1990, let's not go too overboard in drawing that distinction.

As for your recollection, there is this thing called the Internet and you ought to try using it to look stuff up rather than inventing memories to fit your predisposed, but utterly incorrect notions.
The 1996 minimum wage bill passed with every single Democrat voting in support. Every one. DLC members included. (Link to roll call vote: http://www.vote-smart.org/issue_keyvote_member.php?vote_id=1094

Moreover, when the repubs tried to water the bill down, they were defeated, narrowly, because all 47 Democrats (again including all DLC members), joined by five brave repubs, opposed the repub effort. http://www.chron.com/content/chronicle/page1/96/07/09/wage.html

Finally, just to bring you up to date, since apparently you have short term as well as long term memory issues, this past March, Sen. Kennedy's amendment to increase the minimum wage was narrowly defeated. Not a single Democrat voted against it. http://www.senate.gov/legislative/LIS/roll_call_lists/roll_call_vote_cfm.cfm?congress=109&session=1&vote=00026

So, allow me to suggest to you: try again.
