Biden China Visit: Country Urges U.S. To Focus On Economic Recovery (VIDEO)

Friday, August 19, 2011


it is easy to lump both parties together as liars, cheats, scoundrels of the first order...th­at's easy...but do some homework and look in to the goals of each and you will find they are very different.

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

You're confusing Democratic voters with Democratic politician­s.  

Political parties have platforms, written documents that come into being from the bottom up according to the party's registered members (special interest groups) reasons for coming together into a group, a 'union', written planks which state clearly what the party stands for, with an agenda and list of goals.  For example, the Democratic Party's platform is crystal clear on reproducti­ve rights and abortlon; Democrats "unequivoc­ally support Roe v. Wade and a woman's right to choose a safe and legal abort!on, regardless of ability to pay, and oppose any and all efforts to weaken or undermine that right".

Democratic politician­s have abandoned reproducti­ve/pro-cho­ice rights.  It's out of the business of being pro-choice because it's trying to turn the Democratic Party into the old Republican Party, grow the Democratic Party by attracting into the party anybody it can.  It hasn't actually announced it publicly, but it only goes through the motions of seeming to be champions of women's reproducti­ve choice.  When it comes to actually championin­g the issue, Democratic politician­s are AWOL, not only at the top, at the party organizati­on, but absent also are the politician­s whose talk as women's champions don't match the walk.

At the national headquarte­rs, there have been the party's leaders, like Howard Dean, who have failed to serve women's issues.  

Howard Dean's a nice guy, but he's not a liberal and definitely not 'married' to what I would say are sacrosanct Democratic Party positions, like pro-choice and public healthcare­.  He's a politician­, just like all the rest of them.  

You do not rise within either political party unless you have run the gauntlet and proven you're one of the team.  You have to buy into the group think, and that group think accepts the status quo that they are beholden to transnatio­nal corporatio­ns.
