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.

You like that Waco, TX kind of freedom, don't you?

Or, maybe you like that Mark Rich kind of freedom a little more?

Or, perhaps, it's that kind of freedom that Clinton gave to Osama bin Laden that best represents the democrat party?

We welcome you whether you pray at a church or a mosque or a temple or a synagogue or at your kitchen table.

Then tell us when the last speech was given by a pro-lifer at a democrat nation convention. Hmmm?

If you feel better believing the lie, I feel so sorry for you? Are you a victim of this lie, or one of the perpetrators?

Just name one sinngle pro-life democrat in the national spotlight. Just one... Otherwise, shut up..
