Why Americans Hate Democrats—A Dialogue The unteachable ignorance of the red states.
Slate ^ | 11/04/04 | Jane Smiley

Posted on 11/05/2004 5:36:53 AM PST by ClintonBeGone

The day after the election, Slate's political writers tackled the question of why the Democratic Party—which has now lost five of the past seven presidential elections and solidified its minority status in Congress—keeps losing elections. Chris Suellentrop says that John Kerry was too nuanced and technocratic, while George W. Bush offered a vision of expanding freedom around the world. William Saletan argues that Democratic candidates won't win until they again cast their policies the way Bill Clinton did, in terms of values and moral responsibility. Timothy Noah contends that none of the familiar advice to the party—move right, move left, or sit tight—seems likely to help. Slate asked a number of wise liberals to take up the question of why Americans won't vote for the Democrats. Click here to read previous entries.

Geeesh. This is not difficult. Look at the Democrat party: trial lawyers, anarchists, welfare parasites, union thugs, illegal aliens, socialists, communists, unregistered felons, etc. Who, in their right mind, wants to be associated with that crowd?

"They know no boundaries or rules. They are predatory and resentful, amoral, avaricious, and arrogant."

Methinks this is a Democrat looking in a mirror

BUMP!

The Left has had 4 years to try to deceive those who “cling” to God and guns. Of course, Obama may TALK faith but his real concern (politics) was disclosed to some SF donors.
