[ashling]

2. Democratic Leadership Council

a.k.a. Democratic Losers Coalition

[Kanary]

5. you got that right!

Good one!

:toast:

[wyldwolf]

13. what have they lost?

Or, rather, what have they lost in a larger volume than further lefties?

[wyldwolf]

14. As opposed to the far left ...

who never won a damn thing?

[Gothic Sponge]

16. I guess FDR was a far lefty!

[wyldwolf]

17. Actually, no he wasn't

He was very much a moderate - the left and the right hated him.

[Gothic Sponge]

21. The point is the DLC are republicans.

They can call themselves Dems, but they stand for big business.

[wyldwolf]

22. no they're not

Clinton is a Republican? Gore? Kerry? Edwards? Dean?

[TSIAS]

3. Democratic Leadership Council

[scarletwoman]

4. It's the stealth neo-con wing of the Democratic party.

The corporatist Trojan Horse, destroying the party from within.

7. Whats that make the DNC.

[scarletwoman]

8. Well, "DNC" stands for Democratic National Committee

That is the official national Democratic party organization. As I said, the DLC is a WING of the Democratic party.

10. I mean like" Trojan horse "

[scarletwoman]

11. Sorry, I thought the metaphor was fairly obvious...

But maybe you're not familiar with the reference? It comes from the Homer's Illiad.

If *something* is being "destroyed from within" by a metaphorical Trojan Horse, that *something* must be a metaphorical City of Troy.

Hope that clears it up.

15. I understand, If the DLC is a Trojan horse ,does that

the DNC ,the Sirens or Cyclops?

[scarletwoman]

20. No, that makes the DNC the City of Troy. (n/t)

[dave29]

12. Donkey Losing Courage

That's my interpretation anyways.

[depakid]

18. Democrats Lauding Corporations n/t

[indigobusiness]

19. Damn Lactating Canaries

It's a Tweety thing.
