DLC's "National Conversation"

[sandnsea]

This weekend in Tennessee.

Bill Clinton is going to speak Monday.

Maybe they're going to discuss these extraordinarily bold ideas like letting the market lower prescription drug costs or extending the school day to fix our education problems.

Somebody on the Leadership Team is going to be missing, hmmmm. How can they have a "National Conversation" without her??

1. I wonder why the republican party doesn't have an equivalent

group that is more left leaning? We live in strange times.

2. They do, it's called the DLC

KIDDING, kidding, sand!

6. Christie Todd Whitman

She started "It's My Party Too", which is supposed to be a moderate wing. But she supports everything Bush does, so I don't know why it exists. I signed up to get emails so I could keep track of her, I posted a few rebuttals in 2006. I haven't gotten an email in ages and ages. I think she's got her hands full with some problem or other, hehe.

8. She's been dirty from day 1. That was a good idea but

too late to implement with her history.

3. I would really love to see Bill Clinton speak...

I don't care who calls me a DLCer. :)

7. He's always a charmer

That is true. I wish they'd just triangulate themselves right on over to the lighter brighter side!!

4. your last line made me laugh.

5. At the risk of being an apostate, I've never understood

how you can have a self appointed DEMOCRATIC leadership council?

:shrug:

12. They are the unitary executives of the democratic party.

[merh]

9. Will Richardson be there?

His keynote speech from last year was, well, so DLC.

11. Only Bill

None of the candidates are going. Not even the one on the leadership team. With bold initiatives like extending the school day to address the education problem, it's no wonder they've become irrelevant.

13. the phrase ''talk amongst yourselves'' comes to my mind.

a giant corporate circle jerk.
