The writer from Pittsburgh makes the most sense.
But they are doomed, they are for nothing but abortion and sexual hedonism. That's not what made America great, and Americans know it.
NOT the Dem's problem.
Their real problem is that they generally are opposed to the values most American hold dear. Their rare triumphs in recent years have come when they've managed to obscure this basic fact.
Good! They still don't get it.
Hold on, folks - I detect some actual SENSE here!
Earth to democrats, you do not win "red voters" over by telling them of the virtues of same sex marriage. You also do NOT back gay marriage in a speech in a blue state. You see, no matter how dumb you think the red staters are, we do own televisions and figured out long ago how to use them.
A. Turn to Fox News.
B. Rip off knob.
The funny thing is that they automatically shut-out a significant chunk of the US populace, and thus potential voters. And not only that but they are constantly undergoing voter attrition! With every election fewer African-Americans vote for the Dems, fewer Hispanics, fewer adherents of the JEwish faith, and so on. And with the current predicament that the Democrat Party is finding itself in, each and every lost vote counts.
By their very haughtiness and unabated disdain for those who will not wear Rainbow Colors and cut back on the military, they are killing themselves.
And think about it .....people like John F. Kerry and Ted Kennedy, and even Hillary Clinton (even though she has tried to distance herself from abortion) are simply not like most Americans people will meet. John Kerry, for example, is more akin to a European than a typical American. And the hilarious thing is that many Democrats see this as a badge of honor. Well, the joke is on them since the voters who count in an American election are American citizens .....NOT French nationals or German denizens. American Citizens! Thus it doesn't matter how much Kerry meshes with your average European citizen, nor how much they admire him, if the American voter thinks he lacks a spine!
The Democrat party might very well go the same way as the Whigs! Extinction. PArties do become extinct, and have in the past. And the Democrat party is heading down the same stream of irrelevance.
And it serves them right. No one likes a haughty nose .....particularly when their insolence and pride is backed by a level and magnitude of stupidity that is off the charts.
Finally: The funny thing is as their ship sinks they will still be claiming that Karl Rove had something to do with it, when the truth is that their worst enemy is themselves.
No wonder they support euthanasia and all that stuff. They in essence are a party that at its core is comprised of Suicidal maniacs!
Stop hating America, and Americans might actually vote for you.
George Soros, Ted Turner, Bill Gates, the Pew Charitable Trusts, Ford Foundation ...
a new generation of political activists
MoveOn.org, PETA, Million Mom March/Brady Campaign to Disarm America...
think tanks
Brookings Institution, Washington Post editorial board, New York Times editorial board, Los Angeles Times editorial board, Open Society Institute, Center for Public Integrity ...
Yeah, they don't have enough of those things. That's the problem right there.
To follow the Pittsburgh writer's advice, they would have to come out consolidated in favor of evil. That's what ultimately unites new, younger Democrats.
I loved that .. "reinvent the message".
You can't re-invent something you never had.
Being heterogenous is their downfall.
Send in the clowns,
Well that's clear.
What do *you* think about same-sex marriage and liberalism in general.
Oh, and Welcome to FR!
Oh for Christ's sake.
Lurk a while and you will learn.
Looks like he'll be getting an advanced lesson soon.
"Send in the clowns..."
Don't bother, they're here!
