What's wrong about the Democratic Party

[The_Rorschach]

Originally I had spent my first hour writing and revising a response to this thread, as I had initially intended a few days ago when I first posted but I have decided not to. The blase responses of everyone aside from Kevin has convinced no one truly cares about answers and the results of this, or any thread, is only so much noise produced to fill the vaccum. A great man once commented he respected his enemies because he could learn from them, but noone here is really interested in learning. Not really, we are all to eager to throw in our own understanding and defend even dying philosophies -I am no exemption. In light of this I will be brief.

What is wrong with the Democratic Party, as I see it, is an exact reflect of what is wrong with society. The Democratic Party relies upon those whom care, whom possess good intent and enough initative, pride or concern to live according to their convictions and protect the public. Universal Healthcare is not an evil ideal in and of itself, only unreasonable in light of the effects of its implimentation. It is the perfect example of the Democratic Party's conceptions. It is a wonderful, idyllic dream which men cannot be trusted to keep. It, like many Democratic plans, requires a quality of people which truly care about their fellow man and responsible enough not to abuse the power which would be created. It requires those whom can look after a Big Government without being caught up in petty concerns such as re-election and financial accumulation. It requires men whom can respect the intellegence of those whom have come before them before postituting their programs to the knewest scientific findings (sciences both hard and soft). It requires men whom hold themselves accountable to the public, and with great enough humility to not only admit they have been wrong, but to do so swiftly and move to correct their failures before passing the torch to their replacements.

Big Government is not evil because Government is inherently evil, but because men are.

Such men as the Democratic Party needs to champion its ideals no longer exist in politics because they do not exist within the public any longer -and I greatly doubt they ever will again. It doesn't matter anyway, it is all such a game really. Sadly its the only game in town.
