Reply #48: I am very afraid the party is already sunk.

I mean,look what's going on. It started in 2000, when the DNC chairman was among the first to tell Al Gore to "move on". No, wait, before the election it started when Democrats could not understand that a vote for Nader was a vote for Bush. No, wait, it started in 1992 when the DEMOCRATS in congress could not get behind the first Democratic president elected in 16 years.

It continued in 2004 when the party didn't have the balls to really fight the swiftboaters from all fronts and left John Kerry to take the shit by himeself.

Then this year the brilliant DNC decided that the best way to flex its muscles (which I never realized it even had) against two "rogue" states who had the unmitigated gall to try to move up their primary elections so they would mean something would be to punish the voters by taking away their votes, rather than slap the party officials who went along with the stupid "Rules" and then decided to ignore them.

It gets worse every year. The party is halfway down the toilet already. If I didn't have a visceral repulsion to Republicans I'd join their party because at least they know how to stick together not matter what asshole they nominate.
