The Democratic Party as a whole needs an enema
who's with me?

We all know that the republican party is a well-oiled shit factory of a machine hell bent on greed and self-interest, but why for the love of God, is the Democratic party, the party of the people, so disorganized, so underfunded, so scared to fight, and fight dirty against republicans, so filled with rank after rank of chickenshit scaredy cats who can't find their ass with two hands? I'm disgusted to the point that i'm about to become part of the politically apathetic majority. I hate republicans for their ideas but admire their methods, but I hate democrats for their methods but admire their ideas.

Who's with me?

2. The democratic party needs progressive candidates to win elections.
We need to find a way to counteract the effectiveness of money in producing votes. Parties follow votes.

3. don't look to ILL -i-noise
Sure, we have Obama,
but then we have Madigan, Daley, Blogo, and all the corrupt aldercreatures in Chicago.

for such a great state, to have both parties afflicted with crime and grime, it is a shame. But the dems are better, as a whole, than the repukes. Fewer and lower jail terms, too.

4. One dare not honestly answer this question here
The replies will be "Then vote for Bush"

"THen leave. The party doesn't need you anyway."

*THAT'S* what we've come to.

The party of love.

:crazy:

7. They are the tutu party. And we are dancing with them at this point
because they are the only "alternative" we have... but not for long. It is time to create a REAL PARTY of the people, for the people, with representatives who have the courage of OUR convictions.
At this point we need to work from the inside... but not for long, hopefully!

11. We dont have proportional representation. Not yet at least.
You have to work with broker parties in our system. The party isnt the ideology. The democratic party will go where society takes it.

19. We (my state) just had a great opportunity to
elect someone who *isn't* "pink tutu". A genius of a man who is FOR THE PEOPLE.

Yet, out of fear, we now have one more pink tutu who will vote for the next war to come down the pike. I'm done dancing.

From now on, when people gripe about the DINOs and "pink tutus", they need to remember that THEY PUT THEM THERE.

We're not helpless.

We're NOT victims.

WE HAVE CHOICES.

And one of those choices is to spend less time bashing fellow dems who are working their collective butts off to improve this world, and spend MORE TIME working on the damned issues, and holding feet to fire.

No, it wasn't "our only alternative". We had the alternative of "a representative with the courage of their convictions". That wasn't sexy enough.

We're screwing ourselves. We can no longer blame "them".

17. You've made it clear you like NOTHING about me
so, why are you following me around, denouncing me?

You've made it quite clear. I get the point.

Put me on ignore.

6. Yeah!
And after the purge the Democratic party will contain only people that agree with you, and the six of you can have fun losing elections.

10. I'm in.
I've been disgusted with the Dems wimpiness for years. Doesn't anyone remember LBJ? Sure, he had his issues and got us mired in Vietnam, but he was one tough dude from Texas!

15. you admire dishonesty, flat out lying, talking points for dummies
you admire the creation the repugs have done. i dont admire what the repugs have created. i am disgusted they create a nation of sheeps and i am disgusred they have no respect for those that support them. i am disgusted they laugh their ass off at the blacks and the poor bubbas adn the mexicans and the women that allow these handful of white males to abuse them,

i dont admire anything about them and have no desire to create the dems as a replica

18. I don't admire their methods nor do I condone them.
The reason I'm a Democrat is because they are not like the fucking mean spirited right-wing facists.

21. Interestingly enough the fascists control
Edited on Thu Aug-12-04 04:56 PM by DrZhivago
The White House, Both Houses of Congress, a lot of most State and Local Governments, the Media, are backed by most huge corporations, they control the military, etc, etc...


yet somehow we should take that with a grain of salt? I'm absolutely sick of this pacifism. WE NEED TO FIGHT. I don't care whose feelings we hurt, I don't care if we resort to dirtier tricks than them, this pious, holier than thou attitude some of us have, is why we they are in control and we are not.

It isn't a game anymore, when will you guys realize that the other side is playing for keeps?


80 some days left 'til election, what are you doing about it?

22. Do you have a lot of experience with the Dem party?
You paint with a broad brush with your pacifism charge. Good people in this party bust their asses off fighting these bastards every day. I ask you, what are you doing about it?...besides insulting people on a message board.

23. what i dont do is tell a bunch of lies and yell a bunch of hate
that can be disproven so they can dismiss all i am trying to do with a both sides do it, so makes what bushco do ok. and easy to tell me where i am wrong. exactly what i am doing is the opposite. dont tell me they both do it, they dont. here is the truth, check it out. do your research

what has to be done is for them to exactly see that the corps and media who get the pay and the rich are the ones in power, and unite and take that power back. these people arent for you. i have gotten many to think with this approach, adn they come back for more information
