Why are the Dems attacked?? They trying to help America. This is
crazy. At this point, the Dems are like the Police trying to stem the crime wave.

Are we to stifle the people trying to protect America and its people/future??

Granted a few go off the wall but for the most part, the Dems stand for goodness fairness and what is best for America, not for just a few like the Pubs. So I think there is a pathological explanation to solve this mystery. Are we nuts??

Are crazy to stifle the people trying to help?

1. Just because there is (D) by their name...
does not make them saints. There are plenty of bad Democrats.

2. But I did mention that.
Doesn't mean the whole kit and caboodle is bad.

3. Have you watched Bowling For Columbine?
Michael Moore addresses the heightened sense of fear Americans have. It has been artificially pumped up (like Arnold's muscles) by the media. We are fed a steady diet of violence and hate.

And for what? Hypertension, depression, anger, anxiety. And a pill for every condition, but no one ever feels better in the morning.

We have to start listening to the wisewomen and shamans on the left. They have been trying to tell us something important for years. About survival.

7. Attacking Democrats brings in money from the right and left.
That's why disingenuous politicians and pundits do it.

8. Those who attack Democrats hate America
Those who attack liberals (read: Repukes)--especially the talk (hate) radio goons--are the ones who hate America. They attack Dems because they're self-centered, infantile, immature, and have an IQ lower than my dead cats! In other words, it's evil to attack a true liberal--understand, freepers?

10. Aren't they killing their own goose though??
If we Dems are shuffled off somewhere inconsequential, and Pubs rule, the America we now see dying, will surely be dead.

Come, we go nuts

9. Because they aren't 100% perfect
Some people here expect 100% devotion and perfection--and anything less makes them DINOs.

13. We are the majority and yet the minority manages to
to grab the power for the benefit of a few at the expense of everyone else. It's sort of historical really. The population of Egypt builds a fabulous pyramid for a tomb only one man will occupy, the Pharoah.

But sometimes I cry at the destruction. Right now one of the California, Republican gubernatorial race candidate's Tom McClintock has promised to divert funding from public transportation (something the poor uses to get around)to build more freeways. I guess you gotta have a place to drive all those SUVs.

to make them pass a Dem Test of sorts???
