Are we Democrats?
Are we Democrats?
It seems we keep hearing that that so many Obama supporters will vote Republican in November if their candidate does not win or that so many supporters of Hillary will do the same if she does not win the nomination. Is this a lot of media hype? Is this the word of the Obama supporters? Or the Hillary supporters? If it is media hype,which a lot of it seems to be, I pay little attention to it as the media nowadays is controlled mostly by a very few big corporate giants.
I get my information from mostly Union sites and a lot of good blog sites. And even then I weigh it all with the proverbial grain of salt. If on the other hand it is the word of the supporters of either candidate then all of us here had better contact our candidate of choice and tell them to quit the bull crap. Either they are First of all Democrats who support a particular candidate or they are new found folks who were recruited by all us hard working Dems who in the past 7 years of the bush bunch went our and worked hard at trying to recruit anybody, anywhere, anyhow, who hated the bastard and were willing to sign up anyone to try to defeat him and his bunch by any means. Well, we did do our job in one respect, we found a lot of folks who wanted to end the war, who wanted to get better working conditions and wages, who wanted to see our economy grow, who wanted health care, and who wanted all sort of things the bush Administration has taken away or deprived us of. But maybe we failed to realize tha we recruited a lot of folks who never voted before, or maybe we got a lot of new sign-ups from the campuses of the country, and all sort of new folks from all sorts of places. And maybe we even doubled the Democratic party enrollees. And now we seem to have so many new Democrats that we can’t count them all.
That part is good for Democrats and bad for Republicans. But those new Democrats who say they will bolt the party and vote for McBush must be easy come easy go wannabees. So now we need to educate all these new members what a Democrat is.
1. You are either Democrat or you are nothing.
2. A true Democrat does not bolt his party and act like a Joe Leibermann, who was more interested in keeping his senate job than he was being a Democrat and since most everyday Democrats hate his guts, he has no place else to go but to the Bush bunch.
3. Most true Democrats are everyday working folks who need to support their families, and could not possibly afford to be a Republican.
4. A true Democrat is a Democrat forever… and ever… and ever, etc.
And having said all that let me say I am a true Democrat, I have been since my father baptized me one right after my mother got me home from the church she had me baptized in. And since that day I remain A Democrat. I grew up after Hoover closed all my father’s and my grandfather’s bank accounts way back when. And I saw how hard it was for Roosevelt to put the country back in order. And I also saw how poor Harry had to fight with a new Republican congress after everybody thought ‘hey things are great again’ and let a new bunch of McCarthy’s take over the country and tell us we were all a bunch of Commies if we did not support all those new Republican Ideas. Sound familiar?
Republicans can never change and any person who claims to be a Republican and is not at least a millionaire is kidding themselves in thinking they are. You would be the janitor joining the country club.
It just won’t work.
And after all that dissertation that brings me to those of you who claim to be Democrats and say they will vote for the new McBush because your guy or gal did not win. You belong not to Republicans or Democrats. You should sign up with the devil in h*ll and you will be in just as good of hands.
I will vote Democrat whether it is Hillary, who at present I support, or if it is Obama, or if it is a little yellow puppy dog that had to be brought in because the convention could not get anything else. I am, will be, and always was a Democrat. And I do not see any reason to be the Janitor at the country club.
