Lets start a list of things Democrats PRETEND to be for.

With Democrats having control of both houses for 4 years, including 2 years with a supermajority and a rubber stamp president, I think we've had ample opportunity to see what they have only pretended to stand for. 1. Union rights/powers: In the last 4 years democrats have done NOTHING to restore the powers of federal public employee unions. Those powers were taken away by Jimmy Carter, a Democrat who also had the benefit of a supermajority. 2. Opposition to sending jobs overseas: This was a big thing for John Kerry in 2004 when he blamed Bush for giving tax breaks to businesses that shipped jobs overseas. Now those tax breaks had been in place since Reagan was president, but he didn't care about that. Since getting a majority in both houses, Democrats have done NOTHING to prevent jobs from going overseas. They have not ended the incentives for shipping jobs overseas, nor have the created any incentives for keeping jobs in this country. In fact, they've actually made it LESS desirable to keep jobs here by increasing the costs of doing business, both raising the minimum wages, and forcing employers to buy healthcare plans for their employees. 3. The Constitution: Many democrats, including Obama, who called the Patriot Act unconstitutional have now renewed it multiple times and even had the audacity to give it ridiculous names like the "Medicare Physician Payment Reform Act". 4. Reducing the deficit and the national debt: While republicans controlled both houses and the presidency the deficit got as high as $413 billion. At the time the democrats got control Republicans had reduced the deficit to $162 billion. That deficit skyrocketed after Democrats took control to the point where it is currently at more than $1.4 trillion. Since republicans have gotten control of the House, democrats have viciously opposed any and every attempt made by republicans to reduce the deficit calling any cuts evil, heartless, immoral, etc. while also claiming that seniors will die if the cuts are passed. 5. Equality: Democrats have done everything in their power to make sure that women, gay people, and minorities are NOT treated equally compared to men, or specifically, white men. They go out of their way to make sure unqualified applicants get jobs based solely on their race. They allow voter intimidation by minorities and mock those who oppose it. When women and minorities oppose their policies they single them out and aim to turn other women and minorities against them while openly yelling racial slurs at them. Anyone else have things to add? If you'd like to defend democrats against these accusation feel free. I'd love to hear a defense. If you want to talk about a list of things Republicans pretend to be for, please do it on another thread since it's not the topic here. I'll gladly respond, and add to, such a thread.
