"I used to be a strong Democratic" sez the lady caller to CSPAN last night.

[Swede]

Of course you were sweety. :rofl:

That is the exact way she said it "a strong Democratic" when she obviously should have said "a strong Democrat".

[thunder rising]

1. I take it that something happened to change that "strong Democratic" stance? What?

[Swede]

4. Such an obvious troll,mixing up her talking points.

She made no sense at all,something about the votes in Congress.

[Romulox]

5. A move away from economic populism? nt

[sharp_stick]

2. I think it's pretty safe to call bullshit on anybody

that prefaces a negative comment with "I am a Democrat but..." especially if they use the term staunch, lifetime, strong or other term.

[sarge43]

3. File that with "Some of my best friends are ....., but ......" n/t

[Canuckistanian]

6. Democratic............what?

Pretender? Fraud? Fake? Disruptor?

[BarbaRosa]

7. I think it's kinda pathetic

Those limbots still think they are pulling one over on everyone, when they limbarf that one.:crazy:

[TwilightZone]

8. "And now I'm a weak Republican"

That would seem to be the logical conclusion.

9. In the 1960/70's racists consolidated in the Republican party, many moved

to the Republican party. Maybe like this lady.

[iamthebandfanman]

10. it all started in 48 really

with the dixiecrats walking out and forming their own party and candidate to fight our civil rights movement..

[Lex]

11. Right, it started then, but really got consolidated in the 60's/70's.

When people say, "I used to be a strong Democrat, but now I'm a Republican" I automatically figure them to be a racist (maybe that's wrong of me, but that's what I usually think.)

[alcibiades_mystery]

12. The funniest part about it

Somebody probably told her not to use the term "Democrat" as an adjective if she is impersonating a Democrat, since it's a dead giveaway. So this numbskull instead transposes that advice into "never use the term 'Democrat,'" and the result is her use of "Democratic" as a fucking noun. These people are fucking idiots.

[Swede]

16. Bingo!

That rang like a bell when she said it.

[ellacott]

13. This is like some of "hate mail of the day" that Al Franken used to read on his show

Some of them started with, "I used to be a Democrat but after listening to you I've switched to Republican".

Al used to be so heartbroken over this.:sarcasm:

It was pretty funny and pretty ridiculous that they thought anyone would believe them.

[L. Coyote]

14. Did she have an Asian Indian accent? Are the Rs outsourcing ratf**king?

Not that there is anything wrong with Asian Indians accepting jobs that the Rs ship to them! Not their fault!!

[kestrel91316]

15. "....but now that they've gone and nominated a damned n-----r

for president I just can't take it anymore."

THAT'S what she meant to say.
