Democrats are struggling to answer a simple question—“What’s a Democrat?”—and must do a better job of explaining their core values to voters, according to a task force formed after the party’s dismal showing in the 2014 election.
“I am here to tell you the Democratic Party has lost its way,” said a panel member, Kentucky Gov. Steve Beshear. The problems are not with the “party’s core beliefs,” he said, but relate to “our inability to convey our principles to the American people in a precise, concise and passionate way.”
According to interim findings in the Democratic National Committee’s report released Saturday, Democrats lack a “cohesive narrative” and need to find ways to help their party explain bedrock values such as fairness, equality and opportunity. […]
“Whenever we let the other guys talk the way they talk about our president, about our leadership, about our values, we’re going to lose,” Connecticut Gov. Dan Malloy told the DNC on Thursday. He said too many Democrats tried to be “Republicans lite.” …

This explains it perfectly!
Why I vote Democrat
(comment by TheFallofAmerica on March 19, 2014)
I vote Democrat because I believe it’s okay if our federal government borrows $85 Billion every single month.
I vote Democrat because I care about the children … but saddling them with trillions of dollars of debt to pay for my bloated leftist government is okay.
I vote Democrat because I believe it’s better to pay billions of dollars to people who hate us rather than drill for our own oil, because it might upset some endangered beetle or gopher.
I vote Democrat because I believe it is okay if liberal activist judges rewrite the Constitution to suit some fringe kooks, who would otherwise never get their agenda past the voters.
I vote Democrat because I believe that corporate America should not be allowed to make profits for themselves or their shareholders. They need to break even and give the rest to the federal government for redistribution.
I vote Democrat because I’m not concerned about millions of babies being aborted, so long as we keep all of the murderers on death row alive.
I vote Democrat because I believe it’s okay if my Nobel Peace Prize winning President uses drones to assassinate people, as long as we don’t use torture.
I vote Democrat because I believe people, who can’t accurately tell us if it will rain on Friday, can predict the polar ice caps will melt away in ten years if I don’t start driving a Chevy Volt.
I vote Democrat because Freedom of Speech is not as important as preventing people from being offended.
I vote Democrat because I believe the oil companies’ profit of 3% on a gallon of gas is obscene, but the federal government taxing that same gallon of gas at 15% isn’t obscene.
I vote Democrat because I believe a moment of silent prayer at the beginning of the school day constitutes government indoctrination and an intrusion on parental authority ….. but sex education, condom distribution and multiculturalism are all values-neutral.
I vote Democrat because I agonize over threats to the natural environment from CO2, acid rain and toxic waste ….. but I am totally oblivious of the threats to our social environment from pornography, promiscuity and family dissolution.
I vote Democrat because I believe lazy, uneducated stoners should have just as big a say in running our country as entrepreneurs who risk everything and work 70 hours per week.
I vote Democrat because I don’t like guns ….. so no one else should be allowed to own one.
I vote Democrat because I see absolutely no correlation between welfare and the rise of illegitimacy.
I vote Democrat because I see absolutely no correlation between judicial leniency and surging crime rates.
I vote Democrat because I believe you don’t need an ID to vote but you do to buy beer.
I vote Democrat because I believe marriage is obsolete, except for homosexuals.
I vote Democrat because I think AIDS is spread by insufficient funding.
I vote Democrat because I think “fairness” is far more important than freedom.
I vote Democrat because I think an “equal outcome” is far more important than equal opportunity.
I vote democrat because I would rather hide in a class room while others fight for my freedom.
I vote democrat because I’m not smart enough to own a gun and I need someone else to protect me.
I vote democrat because I would rather have free stuff than freedom.
And lastly, I vote Democrat because I’m convinced that government programs are the solution to the human condition, NOT freedom
What’s to explain? Follow what Dem-Socialists do, not what they say.
Since it seems that the Democratic Party is unable to fathom how far down in the drink they are, here is a suggestion.
Divorce yourselves from the Democratic Socialist Party of America, because they behold not to democracy, they don’t throw social gatherings, but love to bow before their brethren Communists.
Eschew yourselves from the ideology of The Great Society, and embrace the ideas that brought John Fitzgerald Kennedy to the White House.
Divcorce yourselves from the congressional black caucus, because they do not represent any ideas of making this nation strong, a game changer, or a force to be reckoned with, in this world.
good one!
Liberals try to hide who they are and what they really want.
Conservatives try to expose who they are and what they really want.
Historically ignorant,self-righteous, scientifically simpleminded,envious of success,greedy to steal the rewards of others,hateful of the nation which cradled and nurtured them, anti-God, how is that for a start?
Democrats stand for obedience.
If you ask, “obedience to what?” you don’t get it.
Rats are Jihad enablers.
Thank you.

Well, this is simple....
A Democrat is someone who goes into politics to get filthy stinkin’ rich.
A Republican is someone who gets rich, then goes into politics.
I vote democrat because, my Mommy and Daddy did.
Actually, I was thinking more along the lines of: “More free sh!t courtesy of the people who work for a living.”
