Why would anyone be a Democrat?
Joe Andrew
Posted on 05/28/2003 10:59:50 AM PDT by DDay today
How do you know if you're a Democrat? If you've ever met someone down on his or her luck, and you wanted to help, then you're a Democrat. If you have ever seen the look in a child's eyes of fear, of hunger, or of aspiration, and wanted to help, then you're a Democrat. If you have ever wanted leadership that had common sense, that cared about the future, and that wanted progress over partisanship, then you're a Democrat. If you believe that we are better off working together than apart, then you're a Democrat. If you believe in community, opportunity, and responsibility, then you are a Democrat.
I am a Democrat because Democrats fight for, and not just talk about, the American dream. We work to ensure that children do not have to experience fear, neglect, nor hunger, but instead grow up with the hopes and dreams of a better tomorrow. We understand that in working together we are greater than the sum of our parts. Democrats strive to be courageous leaders devoted to progress, rather than be roadblocks in the name of partisan battles. We are the party of diversity and inclusion, of innovation and inspiration, and of energy and optimism.
I am a Democrat because we welcome those who are downtrodden, neglected, and cast aside just the same as we welcome those who have the promise of a brighter future set in their dreams. I am a Democrat because we welcome you whether you're black or white or brown or red or a nice shade of purple. We welcome you whether you pray at a church or a mosque or a temple or a synagogue or at your kitchen table. We welcome you whether you're young or old or just don't want to tell your age. We welcome you regardless of what gender you are or what gender you want to hold hands with. I am a Democrat because we don't care where you are today, but where you dream you want to be tomorrow. This is the spirit of our Party and it's why I am proud to be a Democrat.

Hey Troll: You can also talk about Democrat support of higher taxes, sucking up to corrupt unions, supporting racial discrimination (aka "affirmative action"), appeasing dictators, burdensome regulation, hypocricy (Robert KKK Byrd, for starters)....

No you are a democrat because it feeds your need to feel superior as a compensation for your deep seated insecurities.
You are democrat because you confuse personal liberty with bigotry. In fact were it not for democrats' smugness about race, there would be no viable democrat party.
You are a democrat because in your self righteousness you are blind to the venomous hatred you spawn while you profess to love the very groups you have turned one on another.
Damn your eyes for the hypocrite you are.

"I am a Democrat because we welcome those who are downtrodden, neglected, and cast aside just the same as we welcome those who have the promise of a brighter future set in their dreams."
Sure, you help the 'downtrodden' by aborting them. Zero credibility, socialist LITE.

That deserves a bump.
A Democrat is a person that will gladly give you the shirt...off of someone elses back.

If you ever wanted to forcibly take someone else's money so that you could give it those you considered less fortunate, you might be a Democrat.
