Groucho Marx in Horsefeathers from 1932 didn't intend this for the Left, but it is applicable.
"I don't know what they have to say
It makes no difference anyway
Whatever it is, I'm against it!
No matter what it is
Or who commenced it
I'm against it!
Your proposition may be good
But let's have one thing understood
Whatever it is, I'm against it!
And even when you've changed it
Or condensed it
I'm against it!
I'm opposed to it
On general principles
I'm opposed to it!"

There's also Groucho's comment, "Those are my principles and if you don't like them, well I have others."
That sort of explains the whole D.C. establishment.
