Bite-Me in my Inbox
So my other BFF, Vice-President Joe Bite-Me sends me an email to raise my spirits about my vote for Obama in the 2008 election. the email is entitled “A New Vision”;
Jonn —
As members of the oldest political party in the world, Democrats have responded to the call to move America forward for generations. Our history is much like that of democracy itself: imperfect but ultimately a force for incredible good in the world.
I am a Democrat because progress is our heritage.
Yes, progress, that’s what Democrats are best known for. progress like slavery and starting a war to prevent the end of slavery. Progress like Jim Crow laws. Progress like founding the ku Klux Klan. Progress like trying to block the desegregation of the military. Progress like encouraging segregation in the South. Progress like trying to block the Civil Rights Acts of 1957 and 1964. Progress like 70% marginal tax rates. Yes, Bite-Me, that’s the kind of progress that the Democrat party is known for. But, I digress;
But progress must also be our future. The centerpiece of our 2008 campaign was a pledge to change Washington. That was never just a question of new legislation or oversight. It meant changing how politics is practiced.
That is why, with President Obama and other party leaders, I have worked to build today’s Democratic Party. Now, more than ever, Democrats are focused on organizing. Guided by the support of millions of Americans, we are working for change that matters in communities in every state.
Neither Republicans nor Democrats can claim a monopoly on virtue, but as a party, Democrats have made a choice to take on the special interests to reduce the power they hold over the political system.
Yes, this administration has changed how business is being conducted in Washington. Instead of the special interests being exiled two blocks from the White House on K Street in Northwest DC, they sit on the Presidents cabinet. Good job, Joe. Thanks for reminding us.

This is just further proof of why the demcong are so totally out of touch and lacking sanity.
By the way, if you go all the way back to the founding of the Republic, the democrats of that day are closer to what REPUBLICANS are now. The demcong of today bear no real resemblance to anything sane or reasonable, and do no credit to the country in general. But it is true that from the mid 1800’s they were the party of dissent and obstruction, and possessed of some pretty screwed up attitudes. So it really is a traditional thing with them.
