Why do people continue to vote for Democrats? They have no real political platform, except cliches about the war

I'm also sure you would take mass genocide over lies, too?

I like how many of you have the conception that Republicans are war mongering, oil chugging fools. When many Democrats voted for the Iraq War, and one of the leading Democratic leaders in Ted Kennedy has a bulk of his money invested in oil companies.

And I'm totally aware of my persona as Thomas Jefferson, but my name is irrelevant to the question.

Excuse me but the Republicans control all branches of the government and see what that has done
Can we be more divided, hated, in debt, losing soldiers, going broke????
Concept of personal responsibility is to Republicans what objectivity is to Faux News

Cliches perhaps - but fewer people will die, more people will have better-paying jobs, other nations might actually start cooperating with us again, and K-Street will be reigned in so that corporations have at least a little less influence in the way our government is run.
I'll take that over vengeful wars that are based on mis-information, jobless economic recoveries (that are slowing down, by the way), record deficits, corrupt leaders taking golf trips with slimy lobbyists, and oil companies making energy, economic, and environmental policy.

Racism, Homophobia, Lie to get involved in a war giving out BILLIONS in no bid contracts, giving tax cuts to the wealthy while cutting 141 programs for the elderly, poor and Veterans!
Some platform!!

It would seem as if the Democrats are poised to make some gains this political season IF they can avoid shooting themselves in the foot again this year. I'll bet the gun goes off before November!!

Lost souls need to buck the establishment
Luckily most dems repent of their foolishness when they get older & get off of welfare.
Not always but then they become actors
