The Democrats….

 

So I wonder how anyone can really identify themselves with this party? This party can not defend any position they take and will completely give in to the Republicans on any issue. How can you want to associate yourself with a party that doesn’t have the conviction to stand by their beliefs?

President Obama has lost nearly all the support of independents and rapidly losing his base, his approval is at 39%, just because he doesn’t fight for anything. He has lost every negotiation with the Republicans. 

The Democrats are spending a lot of time blaming the Bush administration for the economy and the job loss, and while he has his share of the blame, the Democrats are not innocent. It was President Clinton that singed into law the North American Free Trade Agreement (NAFTA) which resulted in jobs beginning to leave. It was President Clinton that repealed Glass-Steagall which most economists believe contributed greatly to the economic fiasco. And it was President Clinton who pressured Fannie Mae and Freddie Mac to extend mortgage loans to people with low and medium incomes.

President Obama ran on a single payer health care system and completely against mandates. After he cut deals with the pharmaceutical and insurance companies, we ended up with more of the same only now with mandates. That isn’t to say there is nothing good about the Obama Heath Care Plan but it sure isn’t what he ran on. We still have troops in Afghanistan and Iraq, Guantanamo is still open, we still use rendition, none of the things he said he would fight for.

Look at the Dodd-Frank Financial Reform Bill, it’s about the most corrupt and bought piece of legislation that has been forced down the American people’s throats in the past 25 years.

Democrats do a great job of trying to brand themselves as the party of inclusion; the Republicans don’t even try to bother. But in the end, they can’t fight or stand up for what they supposedly believe in. When John Kerry said its poor kids getting sent off to war to die, the Republicans just said he was degrading the troops and he completely caved. He was right. Al Gore helped in the creation of the internet and yet he allowed himself to be mocked like was a goof.

The Democrats just don’t stand for anything. And if you stand for nothing, you will fall for anything.
