But ... but ... inclusiveness is the face of the Democratic Party! (/sarc)
Rush Limbaugh made an astute observation today about the different perceptions people have of the Republican and Democratic parties. Democrats proclaim themselves to be for the poor and down trodden and describe Republicans as being the party of wealth, Wall Street and individuals who do not care for the poor. The dems point to Mitt Romney as an example of their claim. Yet, John Kerry, a democrat, is wealthier than Mitt Romney but the dems do not have a problem with that. Reflecting on this, I find the big difference is this: Republicans are the ones who give generously to the poor but do so through charities. They do not beat their breasts to proclaim their generosity but do so, from the heart, quietly. Democrats, on the other hand, take money from taxpayers and give it to the poor. They then give speeches to announce how they have redistributed wealth. If anything, the democrats are intent on creating more poor, through their supposed outreach.
Now, here's an interesting challenge, should you decide to follow the DNC convention. Note that the RNC has asked speakers not to use Obama's name in any of their speeches. Do you imagine the DNC could apply the same respect at their convention?

In the last several decades...this is pretty much how many people have viewed the two parties. However, the recent HARD turn to the radical left by the Democrats is changing that false image.
