Democrat Silliness
Right Wing News has a link to a post which reveals the silly ideas being expressed by some members of the Democratic Party.
Here are Democrat statements as to why some people don't vote for Democrats.
Michèle: "How about: there's nothing wrong with the Democrats, there's something wrong with Americans?"Jamie: "How about too honest? After all, we didn't steal the last election, and we went along with the first heist in 2000."
James E. Powell: "The results of the last presidential election were bitter, and they were made more so because the incompetence and evil of the Bush regime appear so obvious to those who take the time to look. But that doesn't mean that Democrats are hopeless or hopelessly out of touch, even though Republicans and their hired hands in the corporate press/media say that it is so."
Osama_Been_Forgotten: "This is not Earth. This is Hell. We're here to suffer, so only Republicans can rule here."
Calling All Toasters: "Because the stupid, the ignorant, the evil and the crazy have finally recognized their common interest: stopping those who aren't."
DanM: "I don't think there's anything wrong with the Democrats. Half the country just isn't mature enough to vote for them."
So there you have it. According to some Democrats, if you don't vote for Democrats, then you are either stupid, ignorant, evil, crazy or immature.
The use of such ad hominem has a way of backfiring on the people who use it.

I can't be angry about the way they look down on those of us on the right. I can take solace in this though: it is good that they think we are idiots. That means they will always be under prepared. Whenever you underestimate your opponent, you lose. If they thought we were smart, they would start working on issues. Instead, they just keep repackaging the same old failing ones.

And the more attention is called to their craziness, the better off the sane people in America will be. As I see it, the biggest problem with these people is that their ONLY moral imperative is self-righteousness! Try to get them to see such things as civility, honor, decency, TRUTH as being necessary and they literally gaze upon you with the BLANKEST of stares! In their minds, all of the values with which MOST Americans are raised and which most Americans still honor are hopelessly old-fashioned. Because if they weren't old-fashioned then that would expose their hedonistic lives of empty excess for what they really are - useless and meaningless in the larger scheme of things.

Gayle:
Good points! What's amazing to me is how the new catch phrase for Dems is this, "We're the party of moral values!" I guess they never thought people would actually ask them to back that up with examples. They mistakenly thought that all they had to do was claim to have them. Further proof of their belief that Americans are stupid.
And by the way Dems 'gay marriage' is not a moral value, it's an agenda.

So, you suggest we abandon what we believe in, simply because we can't get people to agree with us? Why should we do that? To acheive power? Is power that important?
Are those your values?

Uh, yes, Paul...
It's called representatative democracy; and, secondly, isn't that what you have been asking Republicans to do since 1948?

No, it's called grubbing for power. I have never asked Republicans to abandon their values.
You have a sick view of government, and present exactly what is wrong with washington today. People are governing who think that the people who govern are more important that the principles that govern people, and are willing to put forth any principle as long as they are the people who govern.
Representative democracy works by electing the people whose ideas voters agree with, not by electing people who change their ideas to get elected. That's called ingrained bureaucracy.
What a sick idea.
