By that I mean - is the DNC now a party much like the GOP that they're becoming further and further disconnected with their party base?
(btw - if you hear some pundit bring this up, this was my idea first)
Look at the symptoms.* The GOP, rather than admit that it isn't reaching it's party base or serving conservatives well, they look at what they're doing wrong in the election process.* We're not campaigning, we're not reaching independents, we're not spending enough campaign dollars... yadda, yadda.* So isn't that what the DNC is doing now?* Finger pointing?* Teh O'bama blaming Rodham for a lousy campaign?*
Are they looking inward and saying "what are we doing to distance ourselves from our party base"?* Hell no, they're looking at how they can throw more money and lies to harvest votes.
Exactly the same thing the GOP did and is doing.* And do I think the GOP has changed or is changing?* Fuck no, they just stepped in shit now and came out smelling like roses, this will extend the GOP's ultimate fate and that's abandonment of the party by it's conservative base.
Because the collective parties are stupid, in the sense that they believe their support base are complete mindless lemmings and either they'll be supported via that concept or they'll jam enough ad dollars down their throats where their minds will be "made right".
I'm encouraged that the silent majority proved this theory wrong and that the middle class and rurals and whites said "fuck you" to the establishment and made a difference.* Will this phenomenon continue?* Dunno, but the other question is - will the DNC and GOP for that matter make any significant changes to their party platforms in order to better serve their voting base.
I'm saying no, no way in hell.* The parties are too arrogant.
