Did the democratic party become the Uncle Tom party?

[warrior1]

"An obligation… applies constantly to all underdog groups, constantly tempted by rewards to uncle-tom, to pull the forelock."

"Uncle Tom n. a black man who emulates or adopts the behavior of the white majority"

"Uncle Tom, disparaging and offensive. a black man considered by other blacks to be subservient to or to curry favor with whites. 1. Uncle Tomism, a policy of relationship between whites and blacks involving a benevolent but patronizing attitude on the part of the whites and a willingly submissive attitude on the part of the blacks"

With apologies to my black brothers and sisters. And with exception to the brave men and women who stood up today.

Replace "black man" in the description with "democratic party" and there you go.

I can find no other reason for the groveling they do.

1. The Stockholm Syndrome? I don't get it either. And I don't like it.

"a Democrat who emulates or adopts the behavior of the Republican majority."

"A Democrat considered by other Democrats to be subservient to or to curry favor with Republicans. .... a policy of relationship between Republicans and Democrats involving a benevolent but patronizing attitude on the part of the Republicans and a willingly submissive attitude on the part of the Democrats."

It fits. Except the Republicans aren't even benevolent.

Are you listening, Mark Dayton, you spineless LOSER?

2. I am with you as well .........

Today was the death of Democracy, not the birth of reform:

They have been trying that for years now and still do not have it right to the point that another election was stolen from us. I will never ever vote for a Democrat with an exception for Sen. Barbara Boxer and the Reps. in the house who stood up for us today. As a reward to David Cobb, I will be signing up for the Green Party. I am sick of the Repubs and their other party the Democrats. I never thought in my life I would think so little of them but I do now.

They do not represent us, they represent the other Republican party, you had better start calling them the baby elephants. What are we, are we battered wifes who are going to keep going back for more beatings from our Democratic Party husbands. I loved this party because I thought they were something that they are not, get over it people, they do not care about us anymore then the Republicans, FDR is died as far as these people are concerned.

The Democrats are pussy whipped by the Republicans, are their actions today not enough for you. I for one am not going back to be their whipping post anymore, I will leave that up to the rest of you who like to get beat up and ignored like the abused children of supposabily loving parents. I wish you luck in your destructive path holding to a dream that was given its death shot today.
