Shortsighted idiots are present in this thread. We are registering real Democrats in Pennsylvania. Do you morons know how hard it is to change registration in Pennsylvania? It's the equivalent difficulty of voting absentee (really a high level of work for participation). There are more Democrats because activists are working hard to register them. No "Limbaugh Democrats" are being registered.
Yeah but why would we want new Democrats?
New Democrats might want a new direction...and that would do away with the 50+1 strategy that has served us so incredibly well in the past.
We can't have that happening, now can we?
We want new democrats to rally for change - for the same reason proud parents want their little baby to come home with them; it is the life process of a living , rejuvenated political movement that will make the American government and society a nicer and more efficient place to be.
A lot of people here believe in the old axiom, "Never let the truth get in the way of a great story."
Unfortunately thats not true unless you consider Democrats for a day real democrats. The Obama campaign has sent letters out through out the State to people not registered Democrat.
Do you even read the documents you blog about or do you just follow the herd? A mass mailing asking voters to register for the Democratic Party is not asking them to be "Dems for a day."
Sometimes I wonder about this board.
You're right, people should only be born into this party. Hopefully we keep reproducing in large enough numbers to stave off the dying members of our little club.
