Let’s have a contest. I’ll start:

The Democratic Party is a conspiracy whereby liars advance the cause of evil with the assistance of fools.

Anyone want to try to top that?

Democratic persons stopped growing. They chose the appearance of virtue over truth which could have be accessed through continued growth.

The irony of the Democratic Party is that it is incapable of appreciating irony.

Democrat Party Relies on Government not Self; Blames Others; Disrespects and Uses Life, Diversity, Hardships as a Crutch; Power Hungry

The Democratic Party is a cult comprised of the artless and gullible insidiously led by the calculating and viperous.

The Democratic Party was on the wrong side of the Civil War. Being wrong is what they do best.

The Democratic Party believes that there is no problem or grievance too small to be solved by Taxation, Regulation, Litigation, or the United Nations.

Is "The Democratic Party: From each according to his ability, to each according to his needs" already taken? Damn. How about this?:

The Democratic Party: Oh what a tangled web we weave, When first we practice to deceive.

Sir Walter Scott said that first, you say? Eh, who cares? The Dems are notorious plagiarists too. Just ask Sheriff Joe Biden.

ExDemocrat | 3.14.09 @ 3:20PM

The Democratic Party is a melting pot of head in the sand, flower children, who need to grow up.

exvoter| 3.14.09 @ 3:35PM

"The Democratic Party is a conspiracy whereby liars advance the cause of evil with the assistance of fools."

That's a good description, but a better one would distinguish the Democratic Party from the Republican in some way.

There's not very much wit on display here, notwithstandinig the cleverness of the original piece, is there?

Perhaps you should try figuring out what the Republican party stands for, first.

It's not at all clear to me what the past 8 years have taught us, although the Renaissance we were promised if only Republicans and conservatives could control Washington DC has yet to materialize.

What remains of their rule but plague, war, and bank runs?

Like all politicians, most Democratic politicians are fools and many are crooks. But they're fools for the middle class, and I'll take what I can get. Fools and cheats who work tirelessly for the wealthiest 1% of society don't move me to much gratitude.

Mrs. Jackson| 3.15.09 @ 1:55PM

Jeremiah defends his democrats by saying they are cheats, but it's okay, because they lie, steal and cheat on behalf of the middle class. Liberals protect their liars and thieves because, "It's for the children." Sick loser.

@ Jeremiah
RSM said-Describe the Democratic Party in 20 Words or Less
Anyone want to try to top that?

Why don't you answer his question/challenge instead of pontificating your stupidity?

That being said, you do realize who led the run on IndyMac Bank? That vaunted GOPer Chucky Schumer. Oh wait ......

Only someone like you Jeremiah could ignore the actions by the Fed and Treasury and blame a political party.

Plague? What the Hell are you blathering about?

War?
Last I checked, we won in Iraq (no thanks to you and your fellow travelers. But hey, thanks for supporting our troops).
Afghanistan? I am greatly concerned that your "Boy Wonder" is ramping up our forces in a place surrounded by 3 countries that are rabidly anti-American, anti-West.

You are too smug to see the current reality. Read more and post less. The world will be much safer and more enjoyable.
Perhaps you can huddle/cuddle with your fellow miscreants Bob, Interloper, Michigan-Matt and JHarp and come up with a rational response. Take your time ...... we'll be waiting.

Crocker| 3.15.09 @ 3:18PM

A Democrat is a craven, sneering creature, a whingeing, craven, callow elitist who hides behind professors in their ivory towers, and issues airy persiflage as if it is emipircal evidence. The Democrat will prevaricate when decisiveness is required, yet remain steadfast in the face of overwhelming evidence to the contrary. The Democrat will gladly accept welfare checks to purchase her Cadillac and live in her govt sponsored housing, yet wails and whines when police give her a well-deserved beatdown after being pulled over for DUI. The Democrat will have you believe, with a straight face, mind you, that all human life came from a blob of green slime that appeared from the air "billions" of years ago, which in turn apparently appeared out of thin air, yet when you try to raise a reasonable objection, she will call in the ACLU and all her other allies and unleash an avalanche of law suits upon you. The Democrat, that hideous, unkempt creature, laughs as innocent babies are ripped from their mother's warm wombs and hard-working Americans are blown up in buildings and brave soldiers protecting our freedoms are felled by cowardly terrorists, but will weep when a cold-blooded terrorist is not read his rights, or filthy Iranians are threatened with nuclear annihilation, or when an inner-city crack head who's raped children is sent to death row. In short, the Democrat is a servile, anti-American scumbag who deserves nothing more than to be stripped of his citizenship, have his chardonnary and brie thrown in his face and sent out of the country to France. And since she cares nothing for property, we will gladly take it off her hands and distribute to our military heroes who deserve it.

Jeremiah| 3.15.09 @ 7:27PM

If given a choice between those who cheat on behalf of the middle class, and those who cheat on behalf of the rich, I'll take the former.

I don't see what's so surprising or outrageous about that.

What have we to show for Republican governance?

The country is practically on its last legs. Our infrastructure, once the pride of the United States and envy of the world, is in tatters. Our reputation abroad is shot. Our government is broke, and the people who run the "markets" -- those Masters of the Universe you people think should run everything -- can't get on their knees in front of Congress to beg for welfare fast enough.

You've been duped, all of you. Sorry to see adults acting like whipped children.

Aaron| 3.15.09 @ 9:13PM

Jeremiah, if you think that our country is actually on its "last legs" then its you sir who has been duped. I for one am still very proud of the infrastructure that IS without question the envy of the rest of the world. I don't give a rat's behind about what ANYONE in the rest of the world thinks about my county, I've seen theirs (and defended it), I'll believe my government is broke when I can't pass a U.S. Dollar at any given international airport and the people who run the markets, the "the Masters of the Universe" as you say, are me and everyone else like me who are still getting up every morning and going to work and who are not standing in a welfare line with their hand out. Get off your knees and quit praying at the liberal alter, the only thing you may find there will be a potato chip in the shape of the virgin pelosi.

Angel| 3.15.09 @ 9:27PM

I reject your premise, dumbo Jeremiah. How about NOBODY cheats? I know it's tough for a liberal like you to wrap your brain around the concept of truth--but we have to stop corruption or we're going to be just another Banana Republic. Your Democrat party is so dirty we should appoint a Special Prosecutor to investigate all of you! I know we have crooks in the Republican party--but it's absolutely systemic with you libs! Obama still can't find a Democrat who HASN'T cheated on his/her taxes to fill positions in Treasury. You disgust me.

Ya know... Robin Hood said much the same, but he was a storybook character, a fairy tale.

Mao Zedong (Communist Chinese responsible for the deaths of 30million+ Chinese people) thought the same way too.

As did Stalin, and the father and son team of Kim Il-Sung and Kim Jong-Il... and so many other Marxists who thought it a good idea to despoil the producing class in favour of their communist partisans.
