Tumor growing in Democratic Party (shocking what the writer has to say)

For one hundred years, the South saw the Republican party as the party of the War of Northern Aggression and Reconstruction. My grand daddy would sooner vote for a yellow dog as pull the lever for a Republican.

Yup. Rural MO is full of 'em. They vote for pro-life Democratic state reps; pro-abort Dem governors, US congressmen & senators, and for Republican presidential candidates. It all goes back to Missouri being essentially an occupied state during the Civil War. General Sterling Price (Confederate general) was seen as a hero by much of the populace, as was Confederate guerilla Jesse James. But the state is slowly becoming more Republican and now has a Republican state rep majority.

geedee, Very good comments on morality and how the dems don't got it. I agree morality starts from birth with good
parents and good upbringing. They won't simply be able to learn a few good Bible verses and all of a sudden be able to fool the masses into thinking they are now moral.

You also make a good point about when Republicans find a bad apple in the bunch, we out them. We will not stand by and support someone who has been on the wrong side of morality. Not unlike the Dems who seem to band together to support their candidate or whomever no matter what he/she has done.

The party has left its members behind. They unfortunately don't even know it.

Sen. Dianne Feinstein warns cluelessly that gay marriage was pushed too fast - as if the troglodytes in the red states (and, oh yeah, in Oregon) need more time to see the light.

Actually, I doubt that she's clueless. My guess is she just thinks they should have taken more time to make gay marriage a protected p.c. lightning rod, so that those who oppose it can be labeled bigots with impunity.

California's Democratic Sen. Dianne Feinstein warns cluelessly that gay marriage was pushed too fast - as if the troglodytes in the red states (and, oh yeah, in Oregon) need more time to see the light.

I agree. He was saying that Feinstein doesn't understand the other point of view at all.

"The junior senator from NY is dressing herself and is being dressed in religious garb. She will be the Dim "messiah" speaking the language of values and morality. Beware of wolves in sheeps clothing."

This so called lady should be aware that there is a high price to pay when you mock God.

She may get by with convincing the fools - but she should be forewarned that there is a price to pay. Taking on God is an awesome challenge and she is not up to it.

Next she will borrow Slick's bible to tote around - but they will both pay for this in the end.

Oregon is a state that really has two parts. Reality where hard work and honesty means something and surreality where they get to scheme and grovel at the amount of taxpayer dollars they get. Unfortunately the schemers have got us out numbered.

hmmmm, I am a disabled person, I was born with a degenerative condition that made me blind, the only thing the government has done in the past 30 years was the 1974 Rehabilatation Act and the 1991 Americans with Disabilities Act, not much has been done for the disabled and I don't see Democrats doing much for us the disabled community, oh yes stem cells frm embryos that will help us really well, uh-huh! place a dead baby in my eyes and I will have it removed! God bless the GOP!

Excellent article. I left my former party in 1992 right after Clinton took office for many of these same reasons. Unlike the woman in this article, I could not remain identified with that immoral socialist party. My prayer is that more democrats will awaken to the fact that their party has been hijacked by anti American, anti God scum.

[Edgewood Pilot]

As a former democrat, the title of the article is wrong.

I saw the tumor growing years ago. The tumor completed itself years and years ago.

You're right about HC carrying around a big Bible borrowed from X-hubby. However, to say that just the "fools" will be convinced by this woman may be somewhat misleading.

One of my biggest concerns about our society is how little religious knowledge we have any more. Children don't even go to Sunday School at all to get just a little exposure to morals the Bible. Many churches preach psychology rather than religion so adults are not informed either. We make easy prey for someone to "talk" religion.
