Does the Democrat Party offend you...

[MaggieMae]

...as much as it offends TruthMatters?

Flame Zone? Isn't that were all the Let's-Trash-Truthmatters soon get dumped? I'll tell you what doesn't 'offend' me but makes me chuckle is the way you people constantly go after her and anyone else who sticks to a political point of view drastically different from yours. Last I looked, it's still a free country and we're entitled to express our opinions (just like you, d'oh...)

No.

And I'd wager that way more than half those who vote Democrat don't know that "Democrat Party" is not the correct name of the party.

You can call it Democrat, Democratic, or Democwat, or Demorat, and at least people know what they represent. However, it's difficult to determine what the "new newer far right conservatives" wish to call themselves if not Republicans. Wanna take a stab at it?

 

[MaggieMae]

Only a fool is offended when offense is not intended. And Only a bigger fool is offended when offense is intended.

I'll keep that in mind the next time you get your panties in a wad and remind you who said it.

Democrat Party (phrase) - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia)


Democrat Party" is a political epithet used in the United States instead of "Democratic Party" when talking about the Democratic Party. The term has been principally used by conservative commentators and members of the Republican Party in party platforms, partisan speeches and press releases since the 1930s. The explicit goal is to dissociate the name of the rival party from the concept of democracy.

Democratic Party members and non-partisan individuals have objected to this modification. New Yorker commentator Hendrik Hertzberg wrote:

There’s no great mystery about the motives behind this deliberate misnaming. "Democrat Party" is a slur, or intended to be – a handy way to express contempt. Aesthetic judgments are subjective, of course, but "Democrat Party" is jarring verging on ugly. It fairly screams "rat."[1]

And your point is...?

It's clear. So what's yours?

Thanks for that link. Wikipedia wrapped it up nicely.

Yes, when they don't shower, especially during the Summer months...

Well, since polls now claims that there are more "conservatives" than "liberals," must be that permeating aroma is coming from your kind.

The Democratic Party itself probably doesn't bother me. What does bother me is that a third party of any kind never gains much ground. I think the Progressives/Libs/Socialists, etc. knew they could never win in a third party such as "American Progressive Party" or something similar, so they latched onto the Democratic Party since its thinking was closer than that of Republicans - albeit, there are some Republicans who lean a bit to the left.

The problem is that when the people vote Democratic they vote for crap that the Progressives are putting out, instead of voting Republican or anything else just to keep the Progressives out. I think there is a whole majority of Democrats who do not like the Progressive movement but they're going to vote Democratic because it's what they've always done. Unfortunately, that kind of thinking gives ALL Democrats a bad rap.

Democrats have voted with many Republicans on major bills, including those controversial ones during Bush's terms. They were NOT the party of no. Also, there have been several major bills this year, including health care reform, where there were battles among the Democrats which is why it took forever to come to a final version. You need to revisit history.

The DEM party or DEMs as a whole do not offend me... it is the far-left, progressive, whack jobs that offend me... and the sheeple who blindly follow anything just because it is the party to which they belong, instead of looking at things logically

Well gee, doesn't it occur to you that most of us aren't offended by real, sane Republicans either? My entire family was once Republican, but ironically they are "offended" by the "New Right" and their outrageously unworkable demands.

SOME are not.... but the far left seems to speak against anything to the right of their far left views....

Now there are plenty of the extremist right that I am offended by.. and plenty who latch on to the REP party or right as a vessel to put out their extremist warped views.... and plenty of neocons who are against actual conservative values... I will treat a whack job as a whack job, no matter the party affiliation

We are Republicans, Democrats, and Independents who understand US history, and the US Constitution.

I believe it was Winston Churchill who noted that socialism's one virtue is the equal spreading of misery.

So ... you don't think you aree taxed enough already?

Taxes have been raised to varying degrees by states, but the federal taxes on income has not been raised since Clinton was in power.
