Here is how it works. We vote in people to work for us and instead they work for the corporations. So we lean on them and they either work for us or we replace them.

The problem is that many of you forget which side you are on.

I got this email from Democracyforamerica.com.

Yesterday, we asked you to help us escalate our campaign against roadblock Democrats like Senator Mary Landrieu in Louisiana and DFA members nationwide delivered.

In yesterday's Wall Street Journal, Landrieu spokesman Aaron Saunders refused to respond to the ads then reiterated whose side Sen. Landrieu is really on:
"She is currently reviewing all of the reform proposals, but does not believe that health care reform starts with a public option. Senator Landrieu supports a predominantly private system..."
In the New Orleans' leading paper, The Times-Picayune, President Obama had this to say in response to a question about our joint campaign with MoveOn-org and ChangeCongress-org:
"I can't answer for all the ads that are being run on both sides of the debate... some of the resistance here is the result of many years of panic-peddling when it comes to health care and gets caught up in old ideological debate..." But, Obama said, "If we know that the status quo is not working for the people of Louisiana, then the way to persuade the Louisiana delegation to support it is coming up with a plan that is going to be good for the people of Louisiana, and then my hope is that (the Louisiana delegation) is responsive to the needs of the people."
The President went on to make a strong case for a public healthcare option that is supported by 76% of America. It's up to us to make sure Insurance Industry Democrats feel the heat if they stand against the President and work to kill real reform.

Working together, we will guarantee healthcare for all. Thank you for everything you do.

[William Joyce]

It's an idiocracy.

 

[RetiredGySgt]

We are a democratic republic. We elect representatives to vote for us and Govern us. The whole election thing is democratic. The Government is a Republic. Those of you that do not understand that catch a bus to Europe.

 

[JBeukema]

democracy =/= Democracy, RGS

type versus form

 

[RetiredGySgt]

democracy =/= Democracy, RGS

type versus form

Democracy exists irregardless of the Government type if the people have a vote and it is binding. And get it right we are Democratic Republic. THAT is the type we are.

 

[JBeukema]

We are a democratic type in a republican form

we are not and have never been a Democracy

well.. we're turning into one, and that's one of the many problems plaguing this nation

 

[garyd]

And Democrat and fool are not synonyms?

 

[DamnYankee]

I've always referred to US as a democratic republic JB.

If there are any who don't understand the distinction:

ThisNation.com--Is the United States a democracy?


That doesn't preclude democracy from existing, does it?

 

[Derek_Plumber]

This thread is called "Democrats are fools." Then, how come we won the election?

How come the Democratic Party is strong, and the Republican is dead?

 

[Oddball]

Hey, this thread is called "Democrats are fools." If this is true how come we won the election?​

1) Bush fatigue.
2) Complete lack of a distinct, competent and coherent opposition.
3) A total media propaganda blitz
4) The pop culture novelty of voting for a seemingly "nonthreatening" mulatto intersects with white guilt.​

Election eve, President Truman at the piano plays the Democratic Victory song!​

So long sad times
Go long bad times
We are rid of you at last

Howdy gay times
Cloudy gray times
You are now a thing of the past

Happy days are here again
The skies above are clear again
So let's sing a song of cheer again
Happy days are here again

Altogether shout it now
There's no one
Who can doubt it now
So let's tell the world about it now
Happy days are here again

Your cares and troubles are gone
There'll be no more from now on
From now on ...

Happy days are here again
The skies above are clear again
So, Let's sing a song of cheer again

Happy times
Happy nights
Happy days
Are here again! ​
