What do the pundits mean when they say the Democrats need to re-invent themselves?

5. Nothing. They and the GOP have been responsible for defining the Democratic Party for years.

The Party does not need to reinvent itself. The Party needs to take control of defining itself before others (the pundits and GOP) do it.

Some examples. The Democratic Party is not weak on terrorism (we are not the Party suggesting to cut funding for security, we are not the Party that diplomatically has alienated former allies, Osama Bin Ladin still alive?, etc.). The Democratic Party is not the tax and spend Party (take a look at deficit spending under Republicans, take a look at whose taxes get decreased, etc.). The Democratic Party is not anti-family values (access to healthcare and education and housing, family leave act, children’s nutrition programs, fair pay and increase in minimum wages, consumer protection laws, etc.). The Democratic Party is not anti-military (the Party always votes for better healthcare, pay, and access to education, better protection equipment, for our military and their families, etc.).

When the opposition can convince enough voters that the Democratic Party is weak on terror, taxes and spends, is anti-family, and is anti-military and adds the equally misleading/downright false taking away your gun rights, taking away your bibles, flaunting alternative lifestyles, and supporting abortion on demand, it is amazing we have done as well as we have in previous elections.

Now that the GOP controls all three branches of government, we are screwed. Perhaps finally enough voters will see what the GOP really stands for?
