Truth is an important element of why "flip-flop" stuck while charges against Bush wouldn't hold water.
However, all Democrats are not Communists. I would posit that even "most" Democrats are not Communists. "Communists" are adherents to a particular political philosophy proposed by Karl Marx and honed by Marcuse, Lenin, Mao, and others.
To call Democrats "communists" is simplistic and borders on infantile. Most of them couldn't even explain the tenets of dialectics.
However, if one must paste labels on people, it would be fair to tag most liberals, and hence most Democrats, as "statists". Statists are people who believe that individuals exist for the good of the state and not the other way around.
Actually, most people who vote Democrat would probably cringe at this basic divergence from Constitutional principle. Therefore, challenging a Democrat that they are supporting statist philosophy can be fruitful, while simply calling someone a "commie" will get you discounted as a "right-winger".
BTW: Hitler, a self-proclaimed socialist, was a statist too. This is why modern day liberals, socialists, Communists, and Nazis belong on the same side of the political spectrum.
Nazi's have nothing to do with Conservatism.
You either don't know Democrats or don't know communists, to make the statements you did.
While I may consider democRats just a slightly lighter version of communism, as a debate point your idea is VERY good.
