Democrats-Party of the People? Let's think that through...

Party of the People? The Democratic Party of the 1950's and 1960's won support because of it's true interest on behalf of people. The movement towards Civil Rights, combined with it's strong attacks on the evil of Communism and it's desire to engage in the world, won the Democratic Party rightly held respect.

And that is why many who call themselves liberals do not realize that the Democratic Party of 2008 has been hijacked by the Left. Those such as Harry Reid, Nancy Pelosi and yes, Barak Obama, continue to call on old liberal themes while showing in their voting records a true disdain for people. How does MLK's dream of judging man on the content of their character mesh with Affirmative Action. How does the desire of lifting up woman fit with bashing down Palin. Does that brilliant comedian Tina Fey (a Leftist clothed in charm) think that her sketches dumbing down the Alaskan Governor show her to be a true champion of women? And what about taxes. Is the best way to lift up the poor to take more out of their paycheck? Obama claims that his taxes would benefit 95% of Americans. This is interesting in that his plan also talks about eliminating the Bush Tax cuts. Isn't an elimination of tax cuts a tax increase? And lastly, when has a "reproductive right" become more important than a life? Well, if it is the life of a chicken that is about to become a McNugget, that life is important. (according to PETA at least, who is a big sponsor of the Democratic Party) But we can do without a baby if it anyway inconveniences or "punishes" a woman. Obama's word, not mine.

It is time for the old time liberals to think a little harder and feel a little bit less. That beautiful old Democratic party of Truman and Kennedy has been hijacked. It feels good to be loyal to your old team, but the sad fact is that your old team has been disloyal to you. And if you THINK about it, you wil see it to be true. It is to the Democrats of old fashioned liberalism, much more than independents, to make a difference in November. Are we going to turn our country over to people such as Obama and Reid, who might have good intentions but have poor political values that hurt America and the idea it represents. Care about the people, and elect McCain.
