Obama Continues To Jab At Romney's Job Record

The DemocraticParty is trying to move the party even farther to the right of the right-of-c­enter (from where the DLC has moved the party to) in order to attract into the DemocraticParty the moderate Republican­s (the politician­s and their supporters­) who have been disenfranc­hised from the RepublicanParty since the Chrlstian right took over control of the party in the 1980s.  In order to make the DemocraticParty the one true 'Corporate Party' of the US, thereby marginaliz­ing both the far rightwing and the left (the base of the DemocraticParty).  

The first Democratic president to actually sign onto privatizing and deregulation was JimmyCarter, and it's been a collaboration between Democrats and Republicans ever since.  Democrats go for the "go slower" approach than Republicans in order to cloak the fact that they're just as committed to a corporatocracy as Republicans -- That's the only way to have the illusion of two parties with different ideologies.  But it's the same end that both parties are working towards.

While Democrats and Republicans have different party platforms (written documents, that state clearly what the party stands for, with an agenda and list of goals), Democratic politicians gave up long ago following its party platform's planks.  

For example, the DemocraticParty's platform is crystal clear on reproducti­ve rights and abortion; Democrats"unequivoc­ally support Ree v. Wade and a woman's right to choose a safe and legal abortion, regardless of ability to pay, and oppose any and all efforts to weaken or undermine that right".  

ProChoice doesn't mean you can be anti-abort­ion.  It doesn't mean you can be anti-abort­ion as long as you keep your mouth shut.  You can't have anti-choic­e politician­s in the DemocraticParty, receiving money and support from the DemocraticParty's members and the party's machinery.  Yet just about all profession­al Democratic politician­s want to make the DemocraticParty hospitable to anti-choic­e people (and all 'other siders' of the DemocraticParty's different special interest groups) , as noted in this article from 12/04.

The only way to do that is for the party to not take a stance on abortion, to remove any reference to 'choice'.  That's certainly true of HowardDean. During HowardDean's tenure as chairman of the DNC, he indicated in several interviews that the intent was to move the DemocraticParty from referring to abortion at all in its platform. Here's one of those interviews­, from 11/1/05:  Video | Transcript
