We won't have the blue dogs to kick around anymore

All these pain-in-the-ass DINOs will cease being a problem soon.

They are all going to lose to Republicans in 2010.

They are the equivalent of the northeastern pugs who were purged in 2006-2008.

The numerical strength of a national party is largely determined by whether conservative centrist type seats have a D or an R after them. Those seats shift back and forth as the pendulum swings.

We are not going to lose many liberals... they are from liberal states/districts.

So the Democratic Party is going to get more liberal and a little smaller. We will be more unified, but unified behind propositions we lack the votes to pass. (But we already lack the votes to pass liberal bills, so not necessarily a giant change.)

This isn't a wish or a defense of anything or an attack on anything. It's just an observation about which seats a party typically loses when it loses seats.



(The headline is a variation of Nixon's famously graceless statement to the press after losing the California governor's race in 1962, "You won't have Dick Nixon to kick around any more because this is my last press conference")

1. The only thing we can pass now is anything pertaining to giving everything we have to corporations..

So I'll take the more liberal, more unified party without the votes to pass anything versus the less liberal assholes who only answer to their corporate masters and never pass a single piece of liberal legislation anyway.
