Aaron is correct about a number of things but none more so than this:
Every time a Republican tries to reform welfare, Liberals cry racism. Yet every time Democrats discuss welfare, suddenly the majority of recipients become white. Hoo doggie.
As for Democrats not being out of touch with Americans, two things:
- Firstly, Democrats are like the "Reality TV" programs of politics: everyone knows the show ain't real but they tune in and play along when it's time after a long day at work to succumb to logicless drivel. Once true reality sets back it, though, most recognizes the folly they just witnessed. The Progressive utopia of a gunless and poverty-free society with universal health care is not more real than The Real World, Joe Millionaire, and American Idol.
- Secondly, for one to gauge Progressive Democrats' commitment to American citizens, all one need do is take a look at the once-great American cities that have descended into cesspools under thirty years of Democrat control. Where does one find the most violent crime, illiteracy, domestic abuse, drug abuse, homelessness, and general despair in....
...Pennsylvania? Philly.
...Michigan? Detroit.
...Illinois? Chicago.
...Maryland? Baltimore.
...the United States? Washington, DC.
Surf a bit and find out who's been running those cities for the past three decades. Or don't, and take my word for it: Democrats have.
Liberals have promised cities safe streets, jobs, affordable housing, and good schools for thirty years.
They have failed to deliver.
Were they lying? Or are they just incompetent?
Take your pick, and then recognize that an argument about whether Liberal promises are in or out of touch with Americans is immaterial, because Democrats don't deliver on their promises.
You can have peace. Or you can have freedom. Don't ever count on having both at once. - Robert A. Heinlein -
