Real Democrat Part II

Before we go any farther, When is Rape ever Legitimate?  Before you go all Anti-Right Wing understand Todd Akin is not the 1st Pol to say crap like this.  Clayton Williams of Texas once stated, Jokingly he stated later, " If its inevitable, just lay back and enjoy it" when comparing rape to the weather. MSNBC's Rachel Maddow did a whole segment on Republicans "Rape is no Big Deal" or a better way to say "Rape is as rare as snow on Miami Beach" statements over the past decade.  No matter where you fall on the abortion issue, comparing Rape to anything other death, shows the person making the comparison is just not in touch with reality.

Real Democrat

With growing fractures in the American Left it is becoming harder and harder to be a "True" Democrat.  They have too many special interests to make happy.  On the Right it is pretty darn simple- Keep the Religious Right Happy & Keep Big Business Happy (See Fat Profits here).  The Dem's have to insure that at least 10 groups are happy or at least on board with the platform. (Labor Unions, Service Unions, Big Business, Blacks, Hispanics, Women, GLBT groups, White Males, The New York Times, Grad-student/ Over Educated Elites)  The 10 groups the dem's have under the tent are lets just say a bit crazier than your worst family get together over the holidays.  The 10 mentioned above each have one or more sub groups all asking for their issues to be put on the platform.  You can Win that way.  Sure, you can win a land slide once in a blue moon, you can win a House or Senate seat in Texas but long term it's not easy to win like the New England Patriots.  The worst part is many of these groups are looking for a leg up on same groups that are helping them at times.

Since when did Liberal become a "dirty" word.  I'm liberal, I wear my Polo, Green Bottle, very liberally before I go out on the town.  I'm not looking to kill someone, I'm not in the mood to over turn the gov't and I do not like socialist.  And I have never and I MEAN NEVER GONE SKINNING DIPPING!  EVER!  If my mother ever heard of me doing said act in holy body of water, well lets just say I would not be breathing air after.

But all of the above is a Red Herning to Middle America.  Since this election cycle started the Debt, Jobs and America's future economy haven't been discussed in depth.  While the Democrats are talking about Mitt's "Changing of Medicare" they leave out what their plan is to fix it.  While Republicans chase abortion, the democrats get off the hook.  Don't Fall for this BS.  Be the Party that is above it all.  When the right hits you on Spending talk about the Roads, The Cops, Defense and the over good you have done.
