Democrats: We must better explain what it means to be a Dem (yeah; please do)
Associated Press ^ | Feb 21, 2015 1:36 PM EST | Ken Thomas

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.” …

The problem for them is not that nobody knows who they are,

It is that the majority of people don’t like it or want it.

“Change the party name to Socialist. Problem solved.”

Problem is the DNC will have to change all the stationary to the SNC. They could get the money from PBS.

How can you have a cohesive strategy,when your actual strategy is to divide and pit one group against the other?
Where does the word Diversity come from? The Democrat play book,divide,celebrate our differences,that’s the the crap these communists,are selling.

A democrat is a socialist.

A democrat loves communists and hangs communist posters around his house and puts little Mao ornaments on the Christmas tree. Probably made by communists.

A democrat demands other peoples’ money and tries to make them feel guilty for earning as much as they do. They take some of that money for themselves, and then give the rest to people they believe deserve it more than the people they took it from.

A democrat never offers a genuine apology for lying. IF any genuine apology is given it is for being caught lying, not the actual lies themselves.

A democrat lives by “The end justifies the means”.

A democrat uses the Delphi Technique and the Hegelian Dialectic to advance their agenda.

A democrat will use unethical means to accomplish something, then accuse the other side of doing the very unethical means.

A democrat is one that can hold to opposing beliefs at the same time and not consider it to be hypocritical. (Cognitive disconnect).

A democrat means never having to say you were wrong. Admitting you were wrong indicates weakness and that you can be wrong. Never admit you are wrong. Misspoke. Taken out of context. Too nuanced. You don’t understand. You misheard. Remembered incorrectly. Whatever.

A democrat who is caught in trouble never has to resign, unless they are too low/unimportant to give cover. Anytime any Republican is even in a hint of trouble, democrats demand for resignation and also possible criminal charges, investigations, etc.

A democrat gets their millions and billions from business leaders called union bosses and rich celebrities and liberal businessmen/bundlers. The image we cultivate however is that it comesfrom the little guy, the line workers, the small business people. We rail on the Republicans for big money sources, and make it appear that only they have big funds coming their way from people with agendas.

A democrat means you automatically have a media staff working for you in your hometown, and they are called your local paper, and your local tv and radio news people.

The essence of the Democrap Party is the same today as it was 50 years ago:

PRACTICING THE POLITICS OF FEAR, DIVISION, and HATRED!

My tag line could save them a lot of effort explaining the facts about being a democrat.

They responded three times to a call to restore God to their party platform with screams and howls against.

This sums up who they are.

Don’t forget the Chicago Way of intimidating private industry, shaming and blaming anyone who doesn’t agree with the agenda.
