Reply #24: It's sad that you consider the devil you don't know someone from

four years ago. Sadly, with the way the perception of issues has changed in that time, it is justified.

And your strong but wrong quote is direct from the big dog himself.

And the reason they don't know what the Democratic Party stands for is the one I noted earlier:

The Democratic Party doesn't stand for anything if they think standing for it might threaten their next election chances.

Like with the election challenge: It's the principle that the Party will lose black voters, so they have to do something to keep the voters, but they're terrified of being demagogued as "sore losers" in the media, so they send ONE Senator, and only one Senator, even though at least five others were willing to stand, and really, if there was any principle to the bunch, they all would have.

Some defense of your most reliable voting bloc's rights.

That, in a nutshell, is our problem, though. No bedrock principle. Hell, we'll vote for tax cuts, unjustified war, health care and defense giveaways, anything if we think it will help us get elected.

Newsflash, Democrats, it's not working.
