I Learned Something! "Responsible" Is A DLC Code Word For "Republican"

[MannyGoldstein]

The other day my dad said "When Hillary Clinton says the word responsible, you can simply substitute the word Republican to get her real meaning." Sure enough, he's right!

Now I read on http://www.democraticunderground.com/discuss/duboard.php?az=view_all&address=132x3756945">this post about a session for freshman Congressmen run by Robert Rubin: {When Labor} asked to be included since they have very different ideas about what Democrats need to do in behalf of struggling workers and middle-class families. Pelosi decided against it. This session, her spokesman explains, is only about "fiscal responsibility,"

There we go again - responsible is the DLC code word for Republican.

I learned something, and just thought that I'd share.

that Hillary deserves credit for participating in the Clinton administration it means that Hillary does not deserve credit for participating in the Clinton administration

10. More or less

I understand there's a legitimate use of the word, even in politics.

But whenever I hear a politician use it these days, it usually means they're going to fuck over the people on something.
