Democrat Morality

[Avatar4321]

Midcan started a thread on Republican morality, which has been an interestind discussion. So I was thinking why don't we ever talk about Democrat morality?

And then I realized, I have no clue what morals Democrats have. So what is Democrat morality?

 

[Wiseacre]

Far as I can tell, democrat morality is equality of outcomes. Doesn't matter how hard you work or what you earn, it's all about what you deserve. And don't worry about future generations, the little fuckers can't vote anyway.

They have none.

They are the party of ABORTIONS. that should tell all you need to know

So what is Democrat morality?

Democratic morality is whatever morality a given democrat may have. Otherwise for democrats, unlike republicans, it’s a non-issue.

If it’s a ‘non-issue’ for democrats, why did midcan5 start a thread about republican morality?

Because republicans make an issue of morality, social conservatives and Christian fundamentalists in particular – indeed, many republicans try to use the ‘moral issue’ (aka ‘family values&#8217 as a political weapon. Many republicans try to imply that democrats have no values or morality in an attempt to attack a given democratic candidate or democrats in general, when in fact democrats are just as moral as republicans.

Consequently, when a republican candidate/politician engages in immoral behavior, the GOP as a whole is justly subject to ridicule.

Again stereotyping at the highest level. Guess what people I do not need a party to influence my morality. Perhaps I will leave that up to the brain dead folks who rely on FOX and MSNBC to do their thinking for them. I am American first and both democrats and republicans are showing they care more about themselves rather than the people that voted for them with the exception of a few.

Democrats are too diverse to say anything about morality that can apply to all of them.

If you want to talk about "liberal morality," though, that might lead to a discussion of the moral changes that emerged from the last Awakening era (1964-1984). I might participate in that.

What ever is politically correct at the time no matter how insanely stupid it might be.

C_Clayton_Jones, well said. Excellent analysis that gets to the heart of the issue.

Avatar4321, you live in Philly surely you know by now what party to register in, but we often vote for republicans and O'Neill's office has been a big help for family and friends.

"I believe in an America in which the fruits of productivity and prosperity are shared by all, by workers as well as owners, by those at the bottom as well as those at the top; an America in which the sacrifices required by national security are shared by all, by profiteers in the back offices as well as volunteers on the front lines." Theodore C. Sorensen

Ted Sorensen gave an excellent answer in "Why I am a Democrat," link below, check it out if you want an excellent statement on the difference in parties. Harry Truman too outlined the differences here: Truman Library - Public Papers of the Presidents: Harry S. Truman for those interested.

"In the Democratic Party, you won't find the kind of unity where everybody thinks what the boss tells him to think, and nothing else."

I see the usual stupid answers from the right. I know 'stupid' is not PC, my grandchildren tell me that often, but stupid comments they are. I'll check back to see if a republican with a brain arrives. I hope one does, but I suspect I know the answer already.

"If by a 'Liberal' they mean someone who looks ahead and not behind, someone who welcomes new ideas without rigid reactions, someone who cares about the welfare of the people -their health, their housing, their schools, their jobs, their civil rights, and their civil liberties -- someone who believes we can break through the stalemate and suspicions that grip us in our policies abroad, if that is what they mean by a 'Liberal,' then I'm proud to say I'm a 'Liberal.'" President John F Kennedy on September 14, 1960

Only idiots broadbrush.

Oh, Hai! C_Clayton, Steph and midcan! Nice brush you have there.

Buncha pious jackaknapes.

Democrat voters have morals but they vote in leaders that don't.

They tend to be more open to suggestion then Republicans.

Their minds are easily changed.....at least most of them.

I wouldn't lump the voters into the same group with the silly fuckwads they tend to vote for. If they said they snorted coke they'd call them brave. If they said they're Gay they'd support them all the same, calling them hip. But if you accuse someone like Al Gore or Obama of being Gay they get fighting mad.

Democrats love winners regardless of how they win. The ends justify the means to them.

They would vote for any butt-reaming asshole as long as he tried to save a tree or acted like have gave one hairy poop about children. Course it's all a sham, but Dem voters tend to fall for their crap repeatedly.

 

[Old Rocks]

Yes, we have the GOP running on God, Guns, and Gays. So when one of their own, like Craig, gets caught dragging in a public place, it is a major source of embarressment for them. When someone like Gingrinch starts making statements about morality of others at the very time he is engaging in the same actions, it reflects on the whole party. Should the Grinch get the nomination, it will be used against him, as well as the many ethics charges he faced as Speaker.

LOL Too funny for words. This from the supporter of the Party that has been having a flavor of the week leading candidate for months now.

Poor dumb ass Mud doesn't realize he has just described all but two of the present GOP candidates, and himself.

 

[Leweman]

It's called an oxymoron.

 

[C_Clayton_Jones]

For example:

They have none.

They are the party of ABORTIONS. that should tell all you need to know

The above is a classic example of Grade A rightist idiocy.

So when one of their own, like Craig, gets caught dragging in a public place, it is a major source of embarrassment for them.

For republicans there’s a quick, simple solution to this problem: stop using morality as political weapon.

Interesting.
(I don't think I saw Midcan's thread)

A political party can't have morals, only people can.

I know lots of democrats that have morals. They don't lie, cheat, steal, kill, have abortions, or any number of things that people may consider immoral. I know lots of republicans that are the same way.

I don't personally know many people that engage in what I consider truly abhorrent behavior (lie, cheat, steal, kill, have abortions), and once I discover somebody partakes in such activities I cease contact with them regardless of their political affiliation.

Now then, what I find most interesting is that when a republican gets caught engaging in what some might consider to be immoral behavior is how the press and the liberals (redundancy alert) treat said person.

Here is an example.....
Both Mr Clinton and Mr Gingrich have espoused family values when campaigning for office at some point in their careers.
Both Mr Clinton and Mr Gingrich cheated on their respective wives.
Honestly think about it to yourself. Did you notice the different treatment they got from the press for doing so?

We get rid of our freaks and pervs......you embrace yours.

I have HEARD it's things like striving for a world where every child who is born is wanted, and making sure that they all have enough to eat, a roof over their head, basic healthcare and a quality education.

Oh and ending wars which seem to be about oil.


stuff like that ......





With any reference to sexual morality usually down in the realm of live and let live as long as they're consenting adults.

Oh, I see Midcan gave a pretty thorough answer, but it was below a line like this:

==================================================

so I thought that was his signature and overlooked it!
