"Hope" the DLC is proud.
DLC, New Democrat, Third way, Centrists, whatever label they're hiding under these days. Hope their proud. This is the second time they've won the White House and then with in two years managed to NOT pass health CARE reform, and lose the House in the process. All your beloved centrist/blue dog/triangulatin' guys got their butts handed to them.

Suppose Timmy will leave? Summers is already on his way out. Now that they've figured out how to protect all of the bankers bonuses, but couldn't find a way to "bail out" all the mortgage holders whose "toxic assets" (i.e. their homes) they bought. And what kind of replacement will they get through the senate NOW for Warren's position? Rahm is history. Hope he's proud of all of his negotiations with Big Pharma. Bet he doesn't get a dime from them for his run for mayor.

I'm sure the bunch of geniuses will now figure out how to pass modern versions of NAFTA, DOMA, and Welfare Reform. Should be a fun 2 years. Keep an eye on the interns.

1. Yeah, I think many of us saw it coming with the genius of the blue dogs during health care. Often I
think we are better with a republican showing their true colors than a blue dog.

5. Cause and effect
"My" purge? It's the blue dog/DLC types that are losing in droves. Hope they are proud of their accomplishment. I voted straight dem. How's that working for the DLC?

4. The senate screwed everything up for the last two years NOW
if the house sends junk bills to them and tries to keep the tax cuts for the rich, they should still be able to keep the bills from passing and the tax cuts from being implemented.

6. The DLC got exactly what it wanted.
The Agenda of the RICH & Powerful Corporate Owners rolls on unabated.
Those who "lost their seats" will be re-employed (rewarded) by the RICH Corporate Owners. They will be given cushy jobs peddling "access".
You see, its a SCAM.

The part I don't fully understand is that WE outnumber THEM by 100,000 to 1.
How can they fool so many?

When the Working Class & The Poor realize WE have more in common with each other than we have in common with the leadership of either political party, THEN we can "CHANGE" things.
That IS happening in Latin America.

8. Well there's enough of that glory to cover the DLC and to share
with the Progressives too. Takes two to tango and that fantastic dance these two groups did stomped all over a whole lot of people.

10. Progressives didn't even get on the floor
The DLC was so infatuated with the blue dogs, the independents, and the moderate GOP folks that they never even paid attention to the progressives until they started to realize they were going to lose big. They couldn't find a job for Dean at all. Geithner, Summers, Rahm, and Clinton own this one. Blaming this on the people that were ignored and marginalized the whole time is just active denial.

11. I agree.
You can hang the losses around the neck of the DLC and the Centrist, Republican Appeasing Democratic Party Leadership.

"I've seen it happen time after time. When the Democratic candidate allows himself to be put on the defensive and starts apologizing for the New Deal and the fair Deal, and says he really doesn't believe in them, he is sure to lose. The people don't want a phony Democrat. If it's a choice between a genuine Republican, and a Republican in Democratic clothing, the people will choose the genuine article, every time; that is, they will take a Republican before they will a phony Democrat, and I don't want any phony Democratic candidates in this campaign."--Harry Truman
