Are those crazy 'crats a reasonable group of peopple to vote for today? (Posted by Sunny Kalsi Fri, 18 May 2007 12:22:00 GMT)
Aah, the Democrats. If you’re one for reasonable-ness and uber-micro, the ‘crats are who you voted for in the late 90s. Just check out their key principles. Wow, sounds so… reasonable. Their policies look so… well I don’t know. OK, I guess.
So I should vote for them, right? Well, maybe. See, the thing is, no one votes for the ‘crats any more. I’m not so sure why. I do remember some sort of “internal bickering”, and, well, I don’t hear about them anymore in any sort of news at all. How and why did they become so irrelevant so quickly?
The main bit of strangeness is the amount of text in there with all of their values and things spelled out, there isn’t much room for bickering. Further, the completely insane amount of… reasonableness… doesn’t really lend itself well to a group of people who have internal disputes. So WTF is going on here, people?
Perhaps their ideas are too reasonable for any mob mentality to follow it? It’s the mob’s voice that counts, isn’t it?
I remember a time when the Democrats had more visibility than the Greens. All I can do now is scratch my head and wonder “What the hell happened?” What happened to keeping the bastards honest? I hardly think that they’re being that honest now… Democrats, where are you when we need you the most?
