The DLC has come home to Roost and THEY lost tonight's election

[FreakinDJ]

People are Pissed on BOTH sides of the isle no matter how you spin it and it is ALL because the DLC's Corporatist Policies

No New Wall St. Regulations - even after tax payers Bailed Out $700Billion of Credit Default Swaps
Healthcare Reform is little more then a Corporate Give Away to Health Insurance Companies with TAXES for Hard Working Middle Class Americans
Banks refuse to loan TARP funds to Small Businesses effictively sinking hopes of jobs or economic recovery for Millions of Americans

This ain't "Asleep at the Wheel" its Corporate Give aways

You Bet - the Swing Voters are Swinging

[FLAprogressive]

1. +1

[saigon68]

22. Little Fucking Rahm Emanuel

Hey thanks sport for Re-Habing the CHIMPANZEE

[OHdem10]

2. The Centrists and The Goldman-Sachs Administration.

[Sebastian Doyle]

3. Yep. Weak candidate. Weak campaign.

Teddy deserved better. Of course that goes for the shit "health care" bill too. :evilfrown:

[girl gone mad]

42. I like your new avatar.

:)

[frazzled]

4. You are so deluded about tonight it's not even funny

But go ahead, reinforce your own brain-wave activity.

[FreakinDJ]

18. I guess people PISSED OFF at Corporate Give Aways

while they have lost their Homes, Savings and Jobs has Nothing to do with it.

Mean While, back at the Board Room "Shall we have another $1Million Bonus"

[hootinholler]

30. How about providing a cogent rebuttal then?

I'm thinking this is about what we've been expecting since July or so.

-Hoot

[TornadoTN]

40. Yeah, the people are deluded for being pissed at the current state of this country

Unemployment still at high levels, messages all over the map on Healthcare, giveaways to bankers and execs, the redistribution of wealth keeps going to the top 1%.

I'd say people are ready to throw all of the bastards in Washington out and replace them with whoever is running against them. I can't say I blame them either, but the reality is that until we do something about the corporate masters controlling our government, each new person we send to Washington is not going to be much different than the last (no offense to Ted Kennedy, who was a great Senator and Statesman).

[donheld]

41. You really are frazzled aren't you?

[msongs]

5. smashing victory for the bipartisanship crowd? nt

[WillyT]

6. + 1000

Fuckin-A !!!

:kick:

[alsame]

7. I saw a reporter interviewing MA voters and one said she was tired

of seeing the banks, insurance companies and pharma companies being taken care of while the people are ignored. Hard to argue with that.

[FreakinDJ]

17. DLC = Corporate Sponsors

[cali]

8. sorry, you're clueless about this election

[scheming daemons]

9. The end result will be a RIGHTWARD shift of our government....

....

Hope you're happy, purity police.

[FLAprogressive]

11. LOL how is this the "purity police"'s fault?

[fascisthunter]

13. goofey

[treestar]

20. Of course!

amazing these idiots think that voting for a repuke means those voters want things to move farther left! :wtf:

[FreakinDJ]

44. Even Ben Bernake said the policies of the past FAILED

So why not at least regulate Credit Default Swaps?

That is why Hard Working Americans feel they have been sold out. We gave them $700Billion so why not provide us assurances it won't happen again.

BTW: $1Billion is more then a whole town of America's Hard Working Middle Class will see in a life time

[Tesha]

50. No, many of them just wanted to punish the TOTALLY INEFFECTUAL Democrats.

Strange as that idea may seem to you. But you might as well get used
to it before November when that idea will "go viral" nationwide.

Tesha

[Edweird]

10. Here's what they aren't getting: You are supposed to 'piss off' the other side.

You 'piss off' the other side by giving your side what they want. Then your side supports you. When you abandon your own side, you fuck yourself. The other side will never support you. No matter how bad Obama fucks us, republicans will NEVER EVER like him or vote for him. If he doesn't straighten up and fly right, he's headed for disaster. Of course, the DLC morons will tell him to 'move right'.....

[JVS]

26. +1

[MelissaB]

33. Agree 100%.

[stray cat]

12. The GOP WON! I guess that makes them real winners unlike loser dems?

IF the winners are right - than your argument is the GOP must be praised for being right and dems all dem are wrong.

[fascisthunter]

14. what a strange argument you've spun there

[KingFlorez]

15. Nope, complacency lost it

Had Coakley run like she should have, we would be in this situation.

[quiet.american]

16. I'm sorry but that line of talk is still bullshit. nt

[treestar]

19. So why did the voters choose a Republican?

Doesn't that mean they don't want the government helping in the economy? That's what Republicans think.

[Odin2005]

21. The DLC got exactly what they wanted.

An excuse to push the party further to the right.

[FreakinDJ]

28. DING DING DING - We have a Winner Folks

[rudy23]

47. The best thing that could happen to the DLC would be to lose 12 seats in '10

Then they could govern as Republicans with a built in "excuse"

[mdmc]

23. +26

[OffWithTheirHeads]

29. +27 Tip O'neil might have been on to something.

[Raine]

24. They better start going to the left

if they ever expect to win.

[cliffordu]

25. Complete bullshit. She KNEW the seat was hers, didn't she?? Never really

campaigned and let him take the press coverage.

Couldn't spell Mass. Didn't know who a guy who'd been a starting pitcher for the fucking redsox was.

An ear that tin should have lost.

Fuck me the spin here stinks.

[hootinholler]

31. And just who was it that backed her?

Or selected her for primary support?

-Hoot

[cliffordu]

36. Nobody as far as I can tell.

Sometimes adults must bear the brunt of their actions and not blame mommy and daddy, or in this case the party, Or the prez.

[girl gone mad]

43. The special interests wanted her and got her.

She was the Rahm/Kaine/Corporatist pick. She embodies everything the DLCers love in a politician. A milquetoast, unprincipled, team player.

[Quixote1818]

27. K and R

[earth mom]

32. You nailed it. K & R. nt

[Codeine]

34. And the Repuke will fight for all that stuff?

Analysis = fail.

[lonestarnot]

35. yep.

[leftstreet]

37. K&R

[HughMoran]

38. lol

The ol' "DLC" boogieman.

[TornadoTN]

39. They are already blaming this on the left - and have been for a few days now

The people are just pissed at the status quo in Washington that seemingly never changes, even when there's a shift in power. Give it a term, and the people of Mass. will be ready to throw Brown out for being just another corporate whore in Washington.

We'll see more of this in November if the party doesn't get their heads out of their asses and start tackling the issues that people care about - and provide a clear message when doing it.

[Joanne98]

45. Exactly. We win elections then the DLC gets put in charge and they lose them.

[FreakinDJ]

48. DING DING DING - We have a Winner Folks

[DisgustedInMN]

46. Yep...

... and there will LOTS more of the same if Rahmbama Corp doesn't make some HUGE course corrections.

[closeupready]

49. They will not make those course corrections.

You can already sense that in the way Obama said today, 'let's wait to reform health care until after Brown is seated; he has to be part of the process.'

Relatedly, his political inexperience is so painfully obvious, that it's hard to take him seriously sometimes.
