Are the democrats in general a "botched joke"?

Democrats are not dumb.  I know several who are very intelligent.  They just tend to be like sheep.  They believe everything any liberal says as if it where the word of God himself.  Just look at the garbage on moveon.org and you'll see what I mean.  Don't judge our democratic friends, just help educate them.

I would like to think that the Democratic party is in fact sick, but I'm afraid that a Liberal might construe that as an appeal toward homophobia.\n\nBeing a Democrat at one time, and wondering what happened to my party's blue collar apple pie roots, I started looking closely at its operation. As the US shifted toward global markets and technology in the early 80's, and taxpayers realized that Democratic revenue strategies choked US economy, like many other Democrats I became a Republican; i.e., it made economic sense.\n\nHowever, Democrat strategists like Bill Press and Kathleen Brown created big-business Republican boogey-men and structured their messages as appeals to fear. Barbara Boxer, for example, is classic when it comes to appeal to fear messages.\n\nRealizing that mainstream America did not buy into Democratic propaganda, the Democratic Party went after the "extreme" vote: Criminals including its rehabilitation poster children, Minority Groups including its homosexual poster children, State Employee Unions, men who serve feminism, and of course Democrats' favorite poster children, the impoverished welfare class. With a voting bloc this big, and as Californians have witnessed first-hand since the Willie Brown days, how could the Democrats lose?\n\nIn all but a few conservative counties and a few conservative districts, the Democrats are California's controllers, and they answer to the extremists who keep them in office year after year. Gay Davis, for example, pandered to illegal aliens for six years, and if California's Democrats could give illegal aliens voting rights, they would do that also.\n\nAs long as Gays show up at the polls and elect Democrats, we will continue to see bills like SB 1437.\n\nOTBPOC

no, the unreasonable behavior is the result of them losing the congress.  before talk radio, the liberal networks simply let democrats control the debate, and republicans were shunned.  democrats never actually were any good at debate, they simply never got confronted by the press.  now their stupidity and traitorous actions are known by the publis due to radio and the internet, and they cannot defend their actions

Kerry tried to make a joke and it makes him look bad. Bush's jokes get people killed. Republicans are bleeding votes and they're trying to grasp on to anything they can, even a gaff made by a senator. And they think this is going to magically erase all the republican corruption and blunders from the past six years from voter's minds. \nGee they must really think Americans are stupid!

It is probably those dumb democrats, they don't seem to understand crap.

You see by that first guy's answer that Dems really do believe the troops are stupid.\n\nNow, who is putting words in their mouths?

Democrats are the same?  Therefore Republicans and Democrats are both ugly cartels of raving jesus freaks?  And I am a moron?

Typical Democrat: What a dumb ass you are! First..you always hear the Dems cry about outsourcing job..it's a fact that we IN-SOURCE 10X that many jobs. You are getting your information from the democratic leadership..I know they TELL you what and how to think...BUT try to think OUT-SIDE the box they give you! Quit listening to Jesse Jackson, Johnny Kerry, Kennedy and the rest of these liberals..they don't give a damn about the poor because they are ALL RICH. And just remember it's not the poor who create jobs..it's the ones with brains and wealth who create jobs..Dems bring poverty..THINK!

Leave that up to whiny liberals and their "Diebold" one-liner.\n\nIt is pretty apparent that democrats recruit at graveyards.

the sad part is... I can't tell if you're joking or not.. \n\nbut as pretty much everyone else has said... many of those you call "liberals" don't really care about the issues you mentioned...\n\nmost think that there are more important issues out there...

HELLBENT,\nRunning the government is not a joking matter to begin with, but I do detect a little sarcasm in your message. I wish they would all become a little more serious about there jobs, but I do understand all work and no play makes Jack a dull boy.\nSeriously though Democrat or Republican if thats the choice, I will pick a Republican every time. They represent all the things I agree with and Democrats seem to always support all the things I disagree with. When you get right down to it I don't think either is funny, especially in this time of world terrorism that we live in.\nTDCWH

I think the mistake lies in assigning Democrats a fixed value on the issue...leaves em no leeway to develop better answers if there's bias right off the bat...truly, dems have the potential to be 20 times harsher on illegal immigration than the republicans were, because they're slightly more likely to actively start seeking information and answers FROM the public at large, and develop some solutions based on their findings. The GOP's been a little too busy serving the narrow interests of their corporate pals, and ignoring that 'law' stuff, at least in recent times, I hope whoever claims to be representing 'the american public' in the future actually goes out and talks to some people...and more importantly, listens...\n\nIllegal immigration is a big problem, it's a crime to begin with, \nwe have borders, they need to be effectively enforced, countries that have a long-standing history of tolerating/promoting violation of our immigration laws, such as Mexico, need to be brought to the table to figure out how they're going to be good partners with us on the issue, or face sanction. As the man said 'we are a nation of immigrants, but we are also a nation of laws'. Those laws need to be upheld, respected, and if need be, then enforced. Our economy doesn't rely on illegal immigration to survive. Most people can, in fact, carry out their own damn garbage, cook their own meals, even clean their own toilets. \n\nThe countries with the economic problems that are producing populations that their economies can't support need to sit down, and look at the WHY behind it all, and develop better answers.\n'Move to the United States' shouldn't be the default solution to other countries' failure to plan...6.5 billion people in the world, HOW many 'neighbors' did you want? LOL

I seconded your vote for dumbass of the day. And if that was a Democrat being compared to Hitler, everyone would be all up in you about it.

The Democratic campaign line is: Either we win or you cheated.\n\nI guess those Diebold machines aren't so bad after all.\n\nReba K: "Nobody" voted for "that bigot?" Nobody? Really? Zero? Wouldn't that be a first...

They are distancing themselves like they did when Dean made a joke of himself.  I am embarrassed to say I am a Democrat because since the late 70's, the party left the working man, and parallels itself with Labor and the welfare group.\n\nHaving served, I think it was a MAJOR slap in the face to the men and woman who serve our country.  It is an all Volunteer force and these people signed on the dotted line. Has nothing to do with education as many have college and OCS under their belts and are officers.\n\n\nSemper Fi
