Now tell us DLC, just how has corporate America repaid your undying loyalties..
The DLC should be able to look us in the eye and rattle off several answers. But they can't.

You'd think that the DLC's loyalty to CA would pay dividends. That CA would 'reward' the DLC with campaign backing and cash.

Instead, the DLC walks around with a big F'n dagger in its back. Stuck there by big banks, 'health' insurers, wall street, the military/industrial complex.

Ya sleep with the devil DLC, you wake up smelling like a corporate Serfmaster.

Corporation don't repay Democrats. Not even loyal DLC'ers.

If only DLC Dems would open their blind fucking eyes and see this blatant fact.

Sleep in the fucking bed you've made DLC.

1. I'll bet what you really need to do right now is purge.
May I suggest you take a high colonic?

5. The problem with that is not that they have to "sleep in the bed they've made,"
as you say, it's that WE have to sleep in the bed they've made.

6. Corporate America: "We'd like to repay your undying loyalties." DLC: "Visa or MasterCard?"
Seems simple enough...

7. The DLC candidates got re-elected
And they have an expectation to get re-elected in the future.

That's the only goal or reward.

10. But, they haven't had to face an electorate or an election post-HCR debate.
In other words, now. Cept for yesterdays Mass special election and that didn't go to well.

Not trying to be snarky toward you, just saying.

13. I understand perfectly
And I agree. This is just A TASTE of what MIGHT happen 10-fold in the mid-terms.

If they paid attention to the election polls AND the MoveOn opinion polls, they should be getting a clue about now.

12. They dont play the game to get reelected
Being in Congress for most of the DLC types is just an avenue to doing enough favors for their corporate sponsors to get a high paying job with them in the future.

14. Do people even know what the DLC is anymore...
... or has it and Rahm become some kind of magical catch all for inchoate rage?
