What's wrong with the Democratic Party? The party of FDR, Truman, Kennedy, and Clinton? I've never voted for any other party, but this November, for the first time, I am not voting at all.
With the news of Obama's VP selection today...it is confirmation for me that this party has NO BALLS whatsoever. Joe Biden is the Democrat's version of John McCain. Obama picked him because he (Obama) knows diddly dick about foreign affairs and Biden is the chairman of the Foreign Relations Committee in the U.S. Senate. So for Obama, this was a safe choice so the Republicans could not attack his ticket saying they are weak on foreign affairs or defense. Maybe that is the case, but Obama is not at all what he claims to be...a man of change and vision. He is just another pussy Democrat pandering to the center and afraid to go after the party's base. It is like Democrats are afraid to be Democrats now...everything is geared to appeal to the "center".
Question, did Bush, Cheney, and Rove appeal to the center in 2004???? NO! They went after their base and made fools of Kerry and Edwards. Only the Democrats could lose that one in 2004. A faltering economy, an unpopular war, a sitting president who evaded service in Vietnam and turned the tables on a war hero (Kerry) and made him look like the pussy. It is happening all over again.
Now Obama says he is open to offshore drilling. This is a Democratic Stance? He said last Sunday that his definition of marriage is between a man and a woman. This is a truly Democratic stance? Early in the campaign he talked about diplomacy and that he would meet with leaders of state sponsored terrorism, now he has backtracked on that stance. Obama changed positions on the D.C handgun ban. He know says "It looks to me that the D.C. handgun ban overshot the runway. That it went beyond constitutional limits." That is a Democrat talking? He also ran his primary campaign saying he would withdraw troops on the ground in Iraq immediately....now he says he will refine his policy and speak to leaders on the ground. What a joke.
Pelosi, Obama, and the rest of the Democrats talk a big game and do nothing. They are too worried about looking liberal and being labeled liberal to do what's right for the country. So when McCain wins in the fall, they will have nobody to blame but themselves. The Democrats won't be able to blame dangling chads in Florida or voter inconsistensies in Ohio this time around. They will have to take a good, hard look at themselves.
In the last eight years, we've had scandal after scandal, miscue after miscue, we were attacked on Bush's watch, started a war with a country that didn't attack us...and lost 5,000 troops in the process, an economy that has tanked, the worst handled natural disaster in history, I could go on and on. Obama has a double digit point lead in the polls right???? NOPE.....try a 2 digit lead in some polls, dead even in others. Something is wrong here!!!!!!

Im not voting either! I was gonna throw obama a bone if hilary ran with him. I know a lot of people who arent' voting. Sad.
Very sad that people arent voting. I am exercising my right that day...anything is better than a Republican in office.
Not to be argumenmentative here but if there was reality to the scandal after scandal why is Bush still in office if they were true?
There is always a scandal made up by the opposite party.
A sitting president who evaded service? You must be talking abut Clinton no?
This alway happens. The country gets sick of he democaats so the republican wins as in the case of Jimmy Carter then they sick of the Republicans then they vote for Clinton then they sick of the democrat congress then the republicans win then they get sick of republican congress then the dems win it.Which by the way how is that working for you? What scares me if the dems have it all we may revert back to the scary days of Jimmy Carter.
And yes that natural disaster may not have ben handled great but remember that was the worst natural disaster this country ever had so we don't know how much different it would have went especially since the democratic leadership of NO didn't evacuate like they should have. No small task resuciung hundreds of thousands of people, many from rooftop with no access to any roads
being they were all flooded and blocked with debris.
But doesn't the fact that the governemnt housed fed and gave medical care to 40,000 for more than 2 years account for anything?
While in the Illinois Senate, Obama voted against a law allowing people who used handguns to defend themselves against intruders to use self-defense as a legal defense against prosecution for violating local handgun bans.
The Democratic-majority Illinois General Assembly overwhelmingly passed this law in response to the prosecution of Hale DeMar, who had shot an intruder.
I can understand why some Democrats might not be voting at all, even as Obama's record comes out.
I suppose Obama can always hope the McCain campaign is even more inept than the Kerry campaign.
