Some Democrats Believe the Party Should Get Religion

You can not promote the concept of "victim-hood excuses all wrongs" and appeal to "values voters".

You are responsible for your actions; responsible to your family, responsible to society and responsible to God.

If one is to be excused for current failings because of the past wrongs of others, why change? Why study your religion?

Unless the Democrats embrace the concept of personal responsibility, they can not make any claims about values.

It has religion, just not one very popular in a county populated by Christians.

[Dat Mon]

The democrats put on their 'principles' like they put on a cheap coat of paint.

That paint smells bad, and is gonna flake, fade, and peel.

[Scales]

The demonrats can only win if they successfully fool the American people as to who they are, what they believe and what they will do once in office. Anywhere else it is called fraud.

[Landru]

"Man, you're really finding the examples of your morphing theory, of the left, aren't ya."

Like shooting fish in a barrel.
I almost feel guilty, they're that easy to anticipate.

"OK, I know, I know...'it's not a theory, it's fact'!"

Well it is, and they haven't even begun to get cranked with the reinvention of themselves.

"Hmmmmmm...maybe we should call it 'Landru's Law'"?

Sounds great!!

Maybe even a *TV* series?

...seated right next to Sybil the Soothsayer. {g}

"Can I get me some religion here?"

You are correct...

[Sola Veritas]

Won't ever work. Democrats really push the "Big Tent" concept. That will never appeal to conservative evangelicals. The Republican party needs to remember this, in that many "moderates" are crying for a "Big Tent" in the Republican party.

All big tents are good for are circuses. If you make a political party a big tent that is exactly what you get - a circus.

[Mad_Tom_Rackham]

They are only beginning to get a sense of their predicament.

Notice that, as the MSM attempts to explain their losses, they invariably discuss how the country has "moved to the Right". The never mention how the Democrat Party has moved to the far Left. Thus they still don't understand what has been happening.

With their grip on public communication weakening by the day, their old strategies (obfuscation, demagoguery) are no longer working. They are like the proverbial buggy whip manufacturer who never grasped the impact of the automobile.

Plus, in the modern age of mass media marketing, they seem to think that they can just go to the makeup room and put some "religion" makeup on, and then things will be as they always were.

These folks are losers going down the tubes right before our collective eyes. Life is getting better every day.

[CyberAnt]

WoW!! That's great.

[Dudesdad]

I can see an opportunity here.
Tell all them RATS to come on down to Dudesdad's
Religion Store. I can sell them some.
It will be so easy to hoodwink this group because none of them can recognize religion. I can sell them anything as long as I call it religion.
I can see the money pouring in now.

[Tribune7]

It's not as though Kerry didn't talk the talk.

The Dems would be smart just not being so pro-abort. Get rid of Roe and abortion becomes much less a national issue.

[CyberAnt]

Sorry .. sorry .. I'll try to keep it down!!

[Pete'sWife]

It'll cost 'em the remainder of their base.

They'll be ordering several thousand Bill Clinton king size Bibles with “Holy Bible” written on both front and back covers in the optional 2 inch high gold leaf letters that will show up in pictures taken a mile away.

Of course the Democrats problem is that, like with guns, when they go on public relations photo shoots, the Democrats really don't mean it, and everyone knows it!

[RJL]

"Can I get me some religion here?"

LOL... Well done.

[Blood of Tyrants]

But Democrats disagree about how to establish the party's spiritual credentials.

What is the problem? Just LIE, like you always do!

[schu]

Politics is the religion of the left.

[Tax Government]

Sincerity is very important. If democRats can fake that, the rest is easier.

[Holden Magroin]

The DemocRATs are obviously not Calvinists.
