[quote=briansd1][quote=SK in CV] To quote Will Rogers, I don’t belong to an organized political party. I’m a democrat. [/quote]

haha. that’s funny but true.

SK, I agree that Democrats have been more compromising and more intellectually honest. They’ve negotiated more but they’ve gotten nothing in return.

Democrats need to learn from Limbaugh and talk in slogans that appeal emotionally to people and rile them up to the voting booths.

Then there’s also the fact that after they arrive in Washington, some Democratic politicians get smitten by power and wealth and forget their ideals. I would expect that of Republicans but I’m less forgiving of Democrats.

But such is human nature and such is the corrupting power of money. Once you get seduced by money, all your ideals go out the window. As Allan said, it’s all about money.

I accept that as part the human fate. So I’ll settle for some social progress rather than nothing at all.[/quote]

Brian: For someone who spends so much of his time answering in aphorisms, I wouldn’t be so quick to rip on slogans and sloganeering.

Dems are more intellectually honest than Republicans? Oh, puh-leeze. The slime extends to both sides of the aisle.

Just for shits and giggles, look up the “Keating Five”, and then we can discuss Democratic honesty versus Republican honesty.
