Why do the Democrats always have to be the adults?

[Joe Nation]

Just once I want to tell the Republicans; Sure! Go ahead and go play in that minefield. I know you wanna. I know that I said that it wasn't safe or remotely wise, but you go ahead and run over there and have a good time. I'll wait here. Would you like a juice box when you're done playing? So cute! Bye.

2. Sadly, when they play in the danger zone they

Are likely to pull us down with them. But yeah, no EPA, guns for all, less financial oversight, on and on.

3. If there isn't a mature responsible adult, then there is chaos

Kind of like the 6th grade when it is the first day of a young substitute teacher. The principle is coming in at anytime now and it ain’t going to be good.

4. Someone on another site had an interesting thought

and said that the double standard male Democratic candidates are being hit with by the Republican slime machine and fully aided by the major news media is the exact same double standard that has been shoved at women for millennia.

She's right, when you really think about it. It's why Franken was ousted over a tacky joke photo from years ago, with Democrats snapping at his heels. It's insane. It has to STOP.

How to stop it? Stop playing by their rules. The silly sexting scandal should be met with "is this illegal? No? Then mind your own damned business, with what you've put into the White House, it needs some minding!"

Stop cooperating with this and let everybody you can think of know how inappropriate this is. Debbie, I'm lookin' at you, dear.

So guys, unless you want to see all Democrats treated as badly as women are, WAKE UP. Tell them to shove off. Let them know their houses are made of glass and we can see everything that is going on in them and they have no room to talk. And for god's sake, stop feeding a corrupted media with false outrage over nothing.

5. Becsuse media is lazy and wants to be liked by racist white people

6. Do you remember the 2000 campaign?

George W. Bush vs. Al Gore. The Republicons were saying "Put the adults in charge" or perhaps it was the "grownups". That could be a Democratic campaign slogan this year. And it would be far more applicable to this campaign than it was to that one.

7. We can't all of us ween our babies on

Coca cola ( in the bottle) and the dollar menu. When they get old enough, they throw up in the back seat of a cop car and really, you can only have so much of that silliness.

8. because Republicans always have to be

hyperactive children/sigh

[uriel1972]

12. selfish as well

[Salviati]

9. Because...

... The assinine policies they push for always hurt other people first...

[Jamaal510]

10. The sad part is

even when Dems are the adults, there will still be people pushing Bothsiderism.

[Skittles]

11. and Dems are the ones having to do cleanup

it kills me how voters quickly forget the destruction left by repukes

[lostnfound]

13. Hierarchy of moral development

Dems tend to be at stage 6.

[Earthshine2]

14. Because our goals -- ones of construction -- require adult thinking.

To enact their goals -- generally ones of destruction for short-term profit -- it is required that they act like selfish, spoiled children.
