Are Democrats Ashamed of being Democrats

[Werewolf]

Are Democrats ashamed to be Democrats? Seems to me that they are.

Why you ask. Well - during this campaign season I've listened to a lot of campaign ads on the radio going to and from work. Every 10 minutes or so you hear up to 3 of them.

I've heard a lot where the the candidate or the person speaking for the candidate states that they are proud of their conservative values, proud to be an American and proud to be a member of the Republican party.

BUT! I don't remember hearing a single ad where the candidate proclaimed that they were proud of their liberal values, proud to be an American and is a proud member of the Democrat party.

Granted I live in Oklahoma and we're a pretty hard core Red State but still you'd think that the Dems would at least let you know what party they're in when the ad runs.

Unless they're ashamed of being democrats.

I'm sure they'd be ashamed of being supporters of the Democratic (sic) party if they were capable of feeling shame.

I live in Virginia currently, and watching the campaign ads on TeeVee (interrupting the reruns of FRIENDS, bastards!) I totally cannot tell the difference between the two candidates for whatever thing they're running for. The ads never mention a party, and they barely even mention any issues. I'm glad I don't have to vote in this damnable state.

They should be!

I can hardly wait for the elections to be over, and when the Dems don't get the expected results, watching all of those little pointy heads exploding. Should be entertaining!

Here in the Chicago area there are almost no positive ads on TV.  No "I will do this".  It's all ads running down the opponent.  I grow suspicious of candidates whose only message seems to be "my opponent is even worse than I am".

There are plenty of Republicans who should be ashamed of being Democrats.

That hit the X ring, Silver Bullet.

Actually I'm a proud liberal... unfortunately like the republican party the democrats also come in the spineless version. Interestingly you may find that democrats in flyover country don't state their party but out here in Oregon... it's the republicans that are ashamed of their party... apparently there are enough spineless politicians for both parties.
