Ann Dunham, Obama's Mother, Had Health Insurance During Battle With Cancer, Book Claims (VIDEO)

I've always said that what makes the Dems different is that we don't all follow lock-step behind whoever the leader is. So, I don't know what you would define as the Democratic Party's "platform.­" If it is adherance to the basic tenets of fairness and equality, then the President certainly has not strayed from that.

==========­==========­====

You don't know what the "Democrati­c Party platform" is?   You've never heard of it?  

How do you define "fairness and equality"?  You say that "the President certainly has not strayed from that".  How do you know how Obama defines "fairness and equality"?  When you hear teabaggers say things like "Obama and Democrats want to take money from people who earned it and give it to those who haven't", wouldn't teabaggers say that they're for "fairness and equality"?

How do you think Democratic politician­s decide what policies and legislatio­n Democrats in public office, at all levels of government (federal, state, county/cit­y) are going to put forth?  How do you think Republican­s do it?  

The Democratic Party's National Platform is the written policy which party members work to achieve.  It's reviewed and renewed, rewritten every four years.  

I don't blame you for being confused; a great deal of effort has gone into keeping Americans confused and ignorant.  Nowhere is that obvious than when it comes to the pro-choice plank of the Democratic Party's platform which commits Democrats to opposing attempts to overturn Roe v. Wade.  You tell me how then it's possible for the Democratic Party to have and support politician­s who are anti-abort­ion?
