The Dem party should be the party of civil rights

[quinnox]

Not the party of anti-civil rights.

The Dem party's standard bearer should be able to recognize this and fight for traditional Dem values such as civil rights.

The Dem party does not need to pander to racists, they are not welcome into this party. They do not represent the Democratic party.

1. Agreed!

They can take that rebel flag and stick it where the sun don't shine!.

3. wake up

civil rights, like abortion, has been used to hi-jack the votes of ordinary people, who, without these emotional appeals, would be solidly democratic. i whole heartedly agree with dean, we need to peel this voters away from rethuglicans. these issues are the wool over their eyes. we are not going to give up our own personal commitments to civil rights. bubba needs to wake up and see which side his bread is really buttered on. if howard can do it, more power to him. let's just step over all these red herrings and talk about the common good and the future, which is what government should be about. :pals:
