For those DEMOCRATS who feel their party is being mis-identified, let me ask this.
Just exactly what would you say is a defining principle of DEMOCRATS? WHAT DO YOU STAND FOR?
I have yet to see or hear anyone list out the basic principles that one should support in being a DEMOCRAT.
All I ever heard was that the poor, the blacks, the average blue collar worker were all DEMOCRATS from BIRTH, without any choice. Democrats don't ask "WHY AM I A DEMOCRAT".
THe real WHY is that the blacks, the poor, women,blue collar workers were considered VERY LARGE VOTING BLOCKS, so ORGANIZED CRIME infiltrated the DEM party and the MEDIA to use them politically for evil ends. It's really all that simple.
Most of the whiners were complaining that they lost DEMOCRACY in this country.
"This country is no longer a DEMOCRACY."
Well, my friends, IT NEVER WAS. These people ignored history, ignore the Constitution, the Bill of Rights, except when they can find an interpretation that allows them to bend the law.
The prove it by their discussion of their 'rights'.
They have no clue, only what some news article tells them, or some chump down the street.
Can't answer that one, nor could John Kerry which is why he lost.
But I believe the democrat party of today is radically different than the democrat party of the 50's and 60's. The DNC has been corrupted by hardcore single-issue liberal special interest groups that when "defined" as a set of principals cannot win national elections.
If the democrats don't start putting our nations interest ahead of their political interests, they will become nothing more than a regional political afterthought.
