What is the Democratic Party's approval rating?
Bush's rating, as every here cheers, is in the toilet. But what is the approval rating of the Democrats? Is there anyone polling this?

With their utter silence and failure to take advantage of the country's political climate, I wouldn't be surprised if it was equal or lower than Bush's.

1. The Democratic Party as it exists today must be scraped .....
because it isn't getting the job done for anyone. It is time to start over with new faces and fresh ideas. Time to send the 'old horses' out to pasture, for good.

2. Double T is wise
I'm starting to become afraid of my own party.

We're supposed to shut up, sit down and hand over our vote.

We're supposed to "compromise" with the DLC people who came into our party and have taken it over.

We're now supposed to sit at the back of the bus.

3. They have been scaring the bejeezuss out of me for a few years now.
I cannot make myself even think about "compromise" with the DLC. Their beliefs are so contrary to mine, I just can't.

If the DNC manages to get Hillary, or any other DLC candidate nominated, two things will be true: (1) We will lose. and, (2) We will have gotten into bed with the devil once too many times, and the Democratic Party that we all knew and loved will be gone forever.

I believe that sincerely.
