It's been hard to miss the Democratic makeover lately. TLC couldn't have done a better job remodeling the facade of the Democratic party from soft and flabby to testosterone injected manhood in such a short time. But it seems that at least some of us aren't buying it. Does the Democratic party really believe that anyone outside of their own ranks will buy this?
Look guys, you're the Democrats. Leave the war-mongering and killing to the Republicans. That's what they do well. You guys are the softer, caring side of the government. You're the ones who pick up the poor after they've been laid off because of the big corporations the Republicans build up to keep our economy running. No one will believe that you actually have the courage to go hunt down and kill terrorists. You're here to ensure that the terrorist get fair treatment after the Republicans let the military loose to go get them. We need both sides to do what they do. The system works that way. No one can get too extreme and get anywhere in our electoral system and that's a good thing.
Now, you Democrats might argue that no one will vote for you unless you say you want to kill lots of terrorists too. And that might be the case for the next generation or two. Until then, just keep doing what you do and don't worry about your party falling apart. Don't worry about your positions becoming outdated and your support drying up. And if you cease to exist? Well, I'm sure someone new will show up to take your place. So go on back to your candidate, the king of nuance. I'm sure people will buy the new Democratic look. And those loyal Democratic voters who don't...Well, they'll see through the guise and vote for you anyway.
