Their agenda in a nutshell:
Abortion good
God bad
MODS: I am going to tread a no-no here, but it is necessary to correct a factual inaccuracy above.
Hmmm...thats a bit simplistic. Just a wee bit.
How about this agenda in a nutshell:
Terrorism Bad
Terrorists with BIG things that go boom bad
Democracy Good!
Strong Military good
Alternative forms of energy good
Protecting our homes from enemies good
Full employment good
Equal opportunity good
Home ownership good
High wages good
American jobs good
Middle Class good
Access to health care services good
Education good
Lower crime good
Clean air/water good
Fish still in rivers good
Fewer drivers on road good
I challenge you to tell me what concept in this agenda you *don't* like, other than perhaps abortion (bowing to THR rules).
I can't find anything wrong with any of the CONCEPTS, tho I will freely admit to have trouble with the methods of implimentation for those concepts to become reality.
Thats about the democratic party agenda as I see it...and as they see it.
Don't believe me?

What you seem to think is overly simplistic, and frankly insulting.
I don't know a SINGLE Dem who thinks abortion is a good thing. Not one. Not a single one. Get the point? No one LIKES abortion...not even the doctors that do it. Since you claim that which isn't true, here is the direct quote (page 38):
"Abortion should be safe, legal and rare."
Now where is "good" in that sentence?
I would also like to point out that the word "God" appears 7 times in that very document. Ok, 7 times on 6 different pages. They actually broke THR rules by invoking the name of God, and not in vain, either.
Saying that you disagree is one thing. Saying that you disagree, then providing salient evidence or intelligent discourse is better. Saying that you disagree, but then boiling down the tenets to some *incorrect* statement is just plain lazy. :banghead:
