No, they are just hypocrites which is why so many of them who support "gun control" for us peons, either own and/or carry themselves, or have hired security who do. They just want us disarmed, the better to impose their will upon us. They know an unarmed citizen has no chance against armed thugs (or "unarmed" thugs, a la the gentle giant), they just don't care.

democrats: the party of infanticide, homosexuals, repatriated traitors, pedophiles and other assorted perverts, murderers, thieves, wanna-be-dictators....

The perfect party to wallow in feces of all types.

Designated by the ‘rats as “the conscience of the Senate”.

What the heck is a return to basics for dems? Race baiting? Shutting down the economy for environmentalists? Bigger deficits? More government control of everything?

Maybe “getting back to basics” means they just ease off a bit so people will stop noticing what they are doing.

As a native Mississippian, I was disgusted with the Cochran fiasco. Demoncrats can use this as a “case study” of how the “elites” overrule the will of the People.

THE Democrat parties basics at one point was slavery of blacks, then war over slavery, then forming the KKK and fighting off the NRA FOR SUPPLYING FIREARMS to blacks in the south to defend against the KKK.

Return to basics? For many years Southern politicians could just yell “Schools! Motherhood! Highway Safety!. The guy who yelled the loudest usually won the elections.

I do consider the difference in how they dealt with Bob Packwood as opposed to how they dealt (or didn’t deal) with Clinton, as indicative :) But that probably also comes under the rubric of “rat hypocrisy”, which as you say, says it all.

And conservatives can use it as a case study of how having the “R” behind a candidate’s name isn’t the be-all and end-all of vetting said candidate.

‘emphasizing spending on education and public works will re-energize black voters and attract whites as well’

Democrats are caught in their own trap. They created an entitlement culture, fed it, nourished it and pandered to it. They thought it would be, and remain, a static pool of reliable voters.

But the entitlement mentality is an insatiable monster. It grows and morphs and above all demands: more, more, more.

There was a time when the entitlement mentality would be satisfied with more educational and public works spending. That time is long past. Now the Dem base demands more and more ‘free stuff’ it doesn’t have to lift a finger to receive. The base wants to sit on its rump and hear Dems promise it more and more ‘benefits’. Direct benefits. Benefits that can be used in lieu of a job or other type of earned income.

Dem voters will not get excited over ‘increased education spending’. That train left the station long ago. The only thing that will excite them now is additional welfare benefits.

The Dems created this monster. Now it is their master.

In my father’s day, Democrats used to stand for good jobs, taking care of our seniors and poor and making sure every one was treated equal under the law.

Today’s Democrats stand for radical environmentalism, make health care expensive and unaffordable by stealing money from seniors and bribing the poor to shun the free market with expanded Medicaid, taking away jobs from working Americans AKA amnesty, imposing perverted social values upon us like gay marriage and abortion and sowing strife and division between the races in our country.

Who the heck in their right mind would want to vote for what the Democrats have become? Not in the South. Its good to see them double down on what people just rejected. That’s what America has had enough of. This is not your father’s Democratic Party for sure and they no longer represent a liberalism people could be proud to identify with.

This is the 60s Counterculture flotsam and community organizers wrecking our country and the American people want it stopped.

Advocating to lift people out of economic hardship will never happen it put a crimp on the tax and spend kick back game plus to keep people under control you need to keep them needy.

The democrat party was hijacked by the communists a long, long time ago. They’re still the party of the KKK, but this time around, they want EVERYONE to be slaves on the plantation (the “elite” excluded of course).

The only difference between slavery and communism is the percentage of the population that is under control of the masters, and the level of brutality leveled to keep the slaves under control.

And the other side of that coin is that, as the Free Sh*t Army is growing, the middle class taxpayers who pull the load is shrinking.

“I love RC Cola.”

Great cola! Falls somewhere between the sickenly sweet Pepsi and the unsatisfying Coca-Cola.
