RWingers say JUMP and Democrats ask 'how high'? [View All]

[Q]

- Have you noticed that DUers (Democrats) spend more time discussing what RWingers say than what they do? This is how RWingers have been able to frame the debate and discussion...and they've been successful at it since the 80s.

- During the 80s and 90s...Republicans convinced Democrats that 'liberal' was a bad word...'forcing' many of them to call themselves 'new democrats', splinter off from the party and denounce traditional progressive tenets. The New Democrats became so afraid of the word liberal that they began attacking them in order to appease the RWingers.

- RWingers called Democrats who only wanted the votes counted in 2000 'sorelosermen'. Democrats succumbed to the belittling and thuggery and gave the election to Bush* in a demonstration of 'good faith'. Republicans laughed all the way to the White House and the bank.

- And then came 911. George* sat on his ass in a Florida classroom...giving the Saudis a free shot at America. Bush* and Cheney later covered up the Saudi's involvement and 'convinced' Democrats not to pursue any incriminating evidence to the White House before November....saying that it would help the terrorists.

- The whole world could see that George and Gang* were lying about the danger Iraq posed to the national security of the United States. But Democrats gave him the 'benefit of doubt' to keep RWing pundits and mean old Republicans from calling them 'unpatriotic' and unAmerican'.

- I'm wondering when Democrats will rise up and refuse to be played like a cheap fiddle when the RWingers call them names? When will Democrats stop altering their image and agenda to meet the expectations of the Right?

- Don't wince when Republicans call you a Liberal. Liberalism has a proud tradition in America...bringing our country the closest it has ever been to equal rights and justice. Liberals and like-minded Americans are the only thing that stands in the way of the Neocon / Neodem corporate state agenda and a government of, by and for the people. Don't allow the RWingers to scare you out of your principles and convince you that 'bipartisanship' is about giving to them and not getting anything in return.
