(37,573 posts)I joined this board in November of 2004. Kerry had just been defeated. I wanted and needed some kind of support group. I thought I was joining a group of like-minded people who were working together to undo the damage that Bush had done/was doing to the country.
It turns out, that I feel like I need to constantly bash Dems, because they keep refusing to undo that damage.
I mean, by electing Democrats to Congress and to the White House, we were supposed to get rid of those tax cuts that favor the rich.
At least I thought so. Instead, Democrats keep most of them, and only about six people on this board seem to care.
Like I said, apparently we will fall for anything. It's apparently a great time to be part of a party that embraces the Bush tax cuts.
I am so old, I can remember when it was better to be a Democrat. When, for example in May 2003 when EVERY SINGLE Democratic Senator voted against the Bush tax cuts. Even Lieberscum. Fast forward to 2012 and almost every Democratic Senator voted to keep them. Wow, what a change. It's unbelievable. In just nine years, the Democratic Party has apparently become the Republican Party.
