Definition of "Democrat".....

1. 60

   BillyDRitchieposted 13 years ago

   Do you realize that way back yonder at the founding of our Republic the word "Democrat" was an epithet? Back then if you called someone a Democrat you might well be challenged to a duel --- or just get the snot knocked out of you. In the late 1700s, a Democrat was "someone who panders to the crude and mindless whims of the masses." Not much has changed insofar as the definition has changed ... but now we elect them.

      Um, correct me if I'm wrong, LMC, but the Senate and White House are still decidedly Democrat, correct?

      The term tea party as it applies to politics, has a valid historical basis....the gay community's use of the term was in no way meant to be political....

         It,'s not strictly a 'gay' practice but there are so many gay republicans in office and in the closet you can understand why the error is so common. Actually, I have known a number of GOP women who practice though not with their husbands.

               Morality as far as a democrat is concerned is usually based on what they can get away with.

                  Morality to a Republican is saying one thing to the public and practicing the complete opposite of that in airport bathrooms.
