01/06/05-The Day the Democratic Party & Democracy Died in America
Someday, when my two young children are old enough to understand, I'll tell them that January 6th, 2005 was the day the Democratic Party and Democracy died in America.
I will teach them about a great American patriot named Barbara Boxer and her Brave Stand with the Black Congressional Caucus to take a stand. I'll explain to them that it was the failure of the Democrats to stand united and support the US Constitution and the rights of voters by either not showing to vote or to vote against the measure to reject the Ohio Electoral Vote is why their Mom & Dad switched from the Democratic Party to the Green Party and never gave a penny again to the DNC. I will tell them I continued to support the 33 Brave Democrats in the House and the one brave Senator that voted in favor to reject an unclean election and support instead the rights of the voters and the US Constitution.
Today is a day of shame and in my opinion, the death of democracy in America....all we will see moving forward is the "one party system" controlled by a party that is not the "GOP" of my parents and grandparents and that every single thing this country has stood for, from civil rights, civil liberties, rights of privacy, and all the hard fought rights and societal protections of its citizens from education, minimum wage, environmental protections and social security will be eliminated or so dismantled that they will hardly matter.
Then, when I show my children the pictures of John Kerry, holding the pictures of them when he and I talked about this election being about "our children's future" and the pictures of me with my children in several swing states campaigning for Kerry, and of the night before the election in Cleveland where I was within 15 feet from the stage and heard him saying that he was "fighting for us" and then I will tell them about how on January 6th, 2005, Kerry did not show up to speak or vote or fight for those voter rights and after their Mommy had worked hard at raising over $30,000.00 for the "GELAC" Fund that was supposed to pay for challenges and investigations into voter fraud and legal challenges, and how instead, Kerry "conceded" in less then 24 hours of the polls closing and that all votes were not counted and that for two months, he basically did....NEXT TO NOTHING....
Then I will point to a picture of my 4 year old in the arms of Howard Dean, and tell her about her comment that she said to me "I thought he was going to be President, Mommy?"
He should have been dear, he should have been....
I feel secure in the fact that I am on the right side of history.
For future refence, dont go to DU. Its bad for your health.
Guess they picked a bad time to stop sniffing glue?
Where's the barf alert? Of all the posts I've ever seen, this deserves one!
I dunno what to say..... :)
What can I say? Some people have no sense of proprtion.
She's obviously not from butterfly ballot capitol of the world where all good Democrats vote early, often and have the dead vote as well.
And, thanks to the actual winner of the election, you'll be telling them this cock and bull story in English instead of Arabic.
i dunno a DU post has be pretty earth moving to qualify for posting here, i don't think that one comes close to cutting it.
His kids will be Republican in adulthood, I predict.
Good point! And she'll be able to look them in the eyes and not be distracted by the veil.
LOL!

BUahahahahahahahahahahhahahhaaa
Am I reading this right ?
She went from Dean to Kerry to The Green party in less than 6 months ?
Man, how can anybody stand to be a loser so many times in such a short period of time ?
oooh... we have a winner. :-)
Hopefully many more will follow.
She forgot to mention that we are now going to make rape legal.
At Least Howard Dean didn't keep switching sides. Why do the Democrats always have to run a so called "conservative." Dean would have been great, he stood for everything they stood for.
