Dem Party Recently forgot these folks. We need to get them back into the Dem Fold.

But...we've done them dirty for awhile. That's why they hooked up with Koch and Fundies.

We Dems stopped caring for them. And, then they had nowhere to go.

I know this sounds absurd to many of you...but, if you think and reflect a bit...you will understand that the Dem Party started to look like Party of the ELITES...and the REPUGS...started to work with the Dem Workers to their DEMISE..with Koch/Alec and the Fundie Christian Money from Falwell and the Big Ministries going after them and distorting a message of Peace and Sharing with the Poor...to BIG Government and Jesus are Working for Buffett/Wall Street/Goldman Sachs and Big Banks and You BETTER GET THAT...or you are nothing but "Idiot Red Neck."

Both parties Manipulate. We need to work HARDER at being FDR Dems and not CORPORATE DEMS drinking from the same Well as the Repugs..
