This B&J BS aligns perfectly with Ann Coulter's recent article, "Don't ask Democrats what they believe," It came to me as I read that line that the reason for their propensity to name-call and sloganize is that they've NEVER GROWN UP.
Anyone who's raised a kid or two will recognize this preference for emotion over reason; it peaks, in my experience, at around age 15. No listening, just talking, and talking some of the most incredible blather one could imagine.
ERGO: I put it to you thus; these socialists aren't Democrats at all, not in the Roosevelt/Truman/Kennedy tradition. They are, in fact, demoBRATS, and they're spoiling for the tried-and-true cure for brattiness; to wit, a good whuppin' (in November)!
Then, MAYBE, THE DEMS WILL FIND SOME RESPONSIBLE ADULTS TO TAKE OVER... are you listening, Zell Miller? Ed Koch? Let's restore the 2-party system to respectability!
"...tried-and-true cure for brattiness; to wit, a good whuppin' (in November)! "
Amen to that! Our strongest weapon in the fight against tyranny & socialism is the ballot box. (If that doesn't work,the Second Amendment is a pretty good reference to fall back on,and should be implemented immediately.)
