Recently a Republican acquaintence suggested that Democrats had no ideas, that Republicans were optimistic while Democrats were pessimistic, that Democrats were weak on security and confused about their message. And- (sob)- It's true! It's true! Fact is, we Democrats have only one idea, a one-track mind. We're neither optimistic nor pessimistic, and don't care much about issues, except for one...
I didn't even have to tell you what that one issue was, did I? Sex. Of course. Underneath all the talk, it's the only thing we Democrats care about, our 'core issue,' if you will. From Ben Franklin's Hellfire Club to utopian communes and the free love movement, from birth control to the right to privacy and the Civil Rights movement, well... you get the idea. Males, females, young, old, black, white, and all the others, straight & gay, it's what we're all about.
A movement is afoot to change our symbol from Donkey to crazed mink.
Now, Republicans have been known to engage in sex, but only for procreative purposes.
So! There you have it! Lieberman is on his way out. Zell Miller is shunned, for good reason. It also explains why McCain wishes he were one of us.
Talk about an unbeatable party platform!
Now it's time to move the platform up a few notches, and make the Democratic Party the Party of love.
Happy Valentine's Day to you and yours!
