Who gives a fuck, its almost the same as the Repub platform, feed corporations, fuck the little guy in the ass and send this country down the shitter, not that its already there.

Does your defective mind allow you to understand this Ray?

I think the party platform is not going to give me the answers i need, let me try what we stand for instead. I apologize for any incovience.

Here are the six things the democrats stand for according to their own website, and what they claim they are doing towards accomplishing these goals, I will talk specifically about whether i think they have met these goals later

I believe, if youre going to discuss, whether to support democrats, whether you agree or disagree with them, these links, will provide the best answers because it seems, these are the foundation to the policies they want to create. I havent rendered a judgment as to whether i agree with their approach or not, but i want to give a fair chance in this thread.

Have Repubs or conservatives met any goals according to their platform Ray?

Why don't you discuss that shit too and quit being such a one sided twit?

The 2008 demodrat platform will be put together at the dnc convention. For people like mfm to say they are for the platform is incorrect as it hasn't been written yet. He can only be for what he expects them to put in the platform. obamanation is writing it as he goes along. Besides selecting a candidate the convention also votes on a platform.

you are quite right... and when and if the democratic party platform ceases to encapsulate the vast majority of my personal political beliefs, I will stop being a registered democrat.

the democratic party platform has addressed the same basic issues for several years, and given my work on my local county committee, all indications are that the 2008 version will follow suit.

party over country, boooring

quit gratuitously insulting me.

country over party. If my party quits pursuing what is in the best interests of my country, I will quit my party.

As long as my party DOES pursue what I feel is in the best interests of my country, and as long as we are a two party system with power entrenched in those two parties, then my support of MY party IS my way of promoting what I think is best for MY country.

you are being, I think, purposely myopic about that. I do not, however, rule out the possibility that, rather than merely being obstinate for the sake of being argumentative, you might very well be too fucking dumb to understand that basic political truism. Time will tell, I guess, which option is more close to the truth.

It is more like the party pursues the best interests of the party - the country is a mere after thought

Just like you

that is wrong. the party can't succeed in pushing forth its platform if it cannot convince a majority of Americans that it is the right way to go.

YOU DO understand how politics works, don't you?

I have noticed lately that your normally paltry ability to carry on a debate has degraded to the point where you really only seem capable of posting cartoons. I shudder to consider what might be behind that degradation.

They may be cartoons to you - but they are factual. Your party sems to think they can tax and spend America into prosperity.

Then again so did Carter, Mondale, Dukakis, Gore, Kerry,a nd now Obama
