25. No one said they were
more of a Democrat. That's you, playing a little straw man. It isn't that they are more of a Democrat, it's that there are more of them than there are of you. A lot more.

In fact, I would venture to say that there are more Democrats, and ex-Democrats, who vote Republican than there are of you, because they disagree with you about basic values and positions.




Notice how quickly you slipped back into the tired argument:

The DLC is in control of the party.

The party has lost.

The DLC is responsible.


Yet what are we nominally debating? Whether or not the DLC actually controls the party. You have failed to demonstrate the premise of your argument, yet continue to flail away as if it's true. When you demonstrate how the DLC exerts this magical control, you'll be halfway to convincing me, and many other people, of how correct you are. Until then, quite frankly, I will continue holding a rather low opinion of the ethics and reasoning ability of people who habitually toss off arguments like those above.

The rest of your anti-DLC rant simply reveals, for the umpteenth time, that you and the DLC bashers don't know what the DLC stands for, and neither do you care. You just want a straw target for your ire.
