In reply to the discussion: Do you feel that Hillary is being bashed by Democrats?? [View all]bvar22
(39,909 posts)142. I never suggested that things were GREAT.
Something else you just made up....you should be more careful with your Straw Men.
This was a blueptint...not pats on the back for accomplishments.
This was the DIRECTION for the Party of the Working Man.
Apparently, you carelessly missed this line from FDR's Economic Bill of Rights:
. We have accepted, so to speak, a second Bill of Rights under which a new basis of security and prosperity can be[font size=3] established for allregardless of station, race, or creed.[/font]
This was a State of the Union Address.
It is also the first official reference I can find from the Democratic Party making Racial Equality a Value/Goal of the Democratic Party.
If YOU can find a statement such as the one above on Democratic Policy that pre-dates the one I have provided,
Please do so.
In fact, I CHALLENGE you to produce such a statement.

Hillary herself has NEVER suggested that just being a woman qualifies her to run for President.

And I have a problem with DUers who think progressive women only support her because of her gender.

I'd say, in some respects she's more qualified than most of the (R) men running at this point

I feel that a certain element here uses the term 'bash' to divide up DU and they do it on purpose.

It is as if we are just supposed to ignore the obvious for the sake of their agenda.

How can real Democrats stand with a money candidate? It's disgusting. The rich are destroying us.
