The Silent Majority Of Democrats (Redux)
Speak up, don't just vote the party ballot.
During a recent discussion of the Demoocratic Underground's treatment of whether using animals for any purpose was morally equivalent to the enslavement of humans a poster took exception thusly :
I love how you guys
take a few idiots opinions over at DU, and try to portray every dem like that.
That's like me posting some of the ultra-rightie fascist drivel and saying every
one of you feels the same way.
Pretty lame.
Well the fact of the matter is that people with the extemist opinions you find on the DU pages and over at the Daily Kos are the folks who now own the politically active section of the Democratic Party lock, stock, and hippie powered barrel. Now don't get me wrong here, the majority of Democrats are moderates in my opinion but they are not the one organizing the rallies, marches, and lobbying your Congressmen. The Silent Majority of Dems don't support all these loon causes but still feel the need to vote for the Dem on the ballot who is actively pandering to these squeaky wheels while the undecided folks swing ever so slowly away from the Democratic party of old.
Just as I have said before here and here. Fix it or....? Take back your party or stop bitching to the rest of us about how we have you all wrong.
