Tom Perez Just Further Divided The Democrat Party With His Extreme Abortion Demands..

[MMC]

Message to the Demos and the leftness.....do yourselves a favor and forget about 2018.




Democrats are in a rough patch. Not only is their unity tour falling apart as newly minted DNC Chairman Tom Perez gets booed at a number of rally stops around the country, the party leader also just marginalized nearly a quarter of of Democrat voters.


"Every Democrat, like every American, should support a woman’s right to make her own choices about her body and her health," Perez said last week, demanding all Democrat candidates support abortion in order to receive support from the DNC.


According to a recent Marist/Knights of Columbus poll (http://www.kofc.org/un/en/resources/communications/american-support-abortion-restriction.pdf), Perez' comments further divide an already fractured party and isolate pro-life Democrats.

Further (http://www.kofc.org/en/news/polls/opose-taxpayer-funding.html):


With Clinton's stunning loss in November as a result of low base turnout, Democrats need every vote they can get. Perez certainly isn't helping his Party get there by demanding all members support out of touch abortion policies......snip~

Abortion is one of the only "liberties" that Democrats actually care about. When it comes under threat, they all turn into radical libertarians who endlessly extol the virtues of their rights and such. It's too bad they cannot apply that logic consistently.

Now they want Ideological Purity. We will have to see what the DNC does with those Demos in Red States.




Dick Durbin, Tom Perez To 28 Percent Of Dems Who Oppose Abortion: Get In Line Or Get O


The 28 percent of Democrats (http://www.pewresearch.org/fact-tank/2016/04/08/on-abortion-persistent-divides-between-and-within-the-two-parties-2/) who oppose abortion have no place in the Democratic party, according to two of the party’s leading figures.

Illinois Sen. Dick Durbin echoed party chair Tom Perez Sunday in saying that there is no room in the party for dissent on the abortion issue.

“I am committed to women’s rights under the law, reproductive rights certainly, and our party is [committed],” Durbin said in an appearance on CNN. “We’ve made that part of our platform and position for a long, long time. I know within the ranks of the Democratic Party there are those who see that differently on a personal basis, but when it comes to the policy position, I think we need to be clear and unequivocal.”

Those who personally believe abortion is wrong can be allowed in the party, Durbin added, “as long as they are prepared to back the law, Roe versus Wade, prepared to back women’s rights as we’ve defined them under the law.” That is: all members of the Democratic party are expected to publicly support abortion, regardless of what they personally believe.

There is no room in the Democratic Party for anyone who's not fully supportive of the idea of abortion on demand at any time by any female of any age.

Well the Repubs won't mind the Demos losing more people. Its like the OP said. They need every vote they can get.


Although, AB Stoddard of ABC and RCP did mention that the Demos will need to change up their leadership from Pelosi, Schumer, and Perez.

[Tahuyaman]

They could send Schumer packing, but they sure stuck with Perez and Pelosi.

Democratic Strategist: I’m Worried Abortion Purity Tests Will Render Us An Irrelevant Coastal Party ......


It went from we’re not going to support pro-life Democrats, to we might have to in order to win state legislatures, and finally to sure—why not. The Democratic Party appears to be at a crossroads concerning one of their coveted issues. A tug-of-war between people who want to win and those who would rather stick to principle and proudly claim that they’re the pro-abortion party. Oh, and while we’re at it—maybe purge the pro-lifers from within the ranks.


What’s the message and who is the real leader here? You have Democratic National Committee chair Tom Perez saying that there’s absolutely no room (http://hotair.com/archives/2017/04/23/dnc-chair-declares-no-place-pro-life-democrats-todays-party/) for pro-life Democrats, echoing his predecessor Howard Dean. Dean told MSNBC’s Morning Joe in March, that there may not be room (https://townhall.com/tipsheet/mattvespa/2017/03/07/howard-dean-i-dont-think-theres-room-for-prolifers-in-the-democratic-party-n2293877) in the Democratic Party tent for pro-lifers, which prompted an intense and incredulous response from co-host Joe Scarborough, who said that a huge chunk of the country has those views—and that the party is at risk of never winning again if they just threw this vote away. Sen. Duck Durbin (D-IL) also reiterated the sentiments (https://townhall.com/tipsheet/cortneyobrien/2017/04/24/dems-cant-decide-if-theres-room-for-prolifers-in-the-party-n2317107) of Perez and Dean to CNN’s Dana Bash.


Then, there’s this détente position by Sen. Elizabeth Warren (D-MA), where she essentially said that it’s fine to be pro-life, as not everyone will agree with my horrible position on abortion.


And finally we have Democratic strategist Lis Smith, the canary in the coalmine, who warned that purity tests over abortion could hamstring the party irreparably (http://freebeacon.com/politics/democratic-strategist-abortion-purity-tests-could-make-party-irrelevant/). Smith added that she’s worked in red states and the whole point of a 50-state strategy is to trust the grassroots on the ground in these areas to pick the best candidate to win. At times, the progressive elite that infests the urban areas of America isn’t going to get a pure liberal out in Nebraska. Heath Mello is a prime example of a Democrat running for mayor of Omaha. He was a member of the state’s unicameral state legislature, who voted for an ultrasound bill (http://www.huffingtonpost.com/entry/omaha-mayoral-candidate-under-fire-says-he-would-never-do-anything-to-restrict-access-to-reproductive-health-care_us_58f8e868e4b018a9ce590a84). This caused uproar among the Left. Still, Perez's statements don’t seem to be emblematic of a 50-state strategy. In fact, Smith warned it could lead to the opposite......snip~

Even Bernie Sanders is saying the Demo Party is failing.



Bernie Sanders After Democratic Unity Tour: The Party Is Failing....


The Democratic Unity tour is over (https://fightbacktour.com/) and Sen. Bernie Sanders (I-VT), who headlined the event (https://townhall.com/tipsheet/christinerousselle/2017/04/11/bernie-sanders-to-go-on-tour-to-try-to-revive-the-democratic-base-n2311982), had the report card: the party is failing.


“I think what is clear to anyone who looks at where the Democratic Party today is that the model of the Democratic Party is failing,” he told CBS’s John Dickerson on Face The Nation. The tour was more of a showcase of disunion, with Democratic National Committee Chair Tom Perez being booed multiple times (https://townhall.com/tipsheet/mattvespa/2017/04/24/disunity-tour-dnc-chair-tom-perez-booed-again-in-utah-n2317216) by attendees. This pro-Bernie Sanders wing of the party wants to go further to the left, and they’re tired of the more liberal establishment not jumping on the issues that Sanders has pushed on the stump, specifically the issue of health care. Another weird aspect: Sanders isn’t even a Democrat (via CNN (http://www.cnn.com/2017/04/21/politics/sanders-perez-democratic-unity-tour/)):


Sanders did buck his progressive roots (and caught some heat for it) by supporting Heath Mello, a Democrat running for the mayoralty of Omaha, Nebraska, who supported an ultrasound bill while serving in the state legislature. Alas, another issue that has brought Democrats to the crossroads: abortion. Perez says that the DNC wouldn’t support any pro-life Democrat, which undercuts an effective 50-state strategy. Sorry folks, not everything from Washington, or the party’s urban bastions, sells in rural America, where the party desperately needs to retake ground that was lost to Republicans over the past decade. It’s a fact that Democrats need pro-lifers, who make up between 25-30 percent of the party, to seal the deal, especially in state legislature elections. With Democrats, specifically the ones who are currently calling the shots, living in progressive bubbles of America’s cities, this will surely fall on deaf ears.


Now, there are liberals, like The Nation’s Joan Walsh, who felt that the Unity Tour was a mess, but that the airing of the dirty laundry on both sides is healthy for the movement. We’ll see how things work out. Republicans should keep in mind that while the Democrats are frothing at the mouth, they will coalesce, they will unite, and they will be a force to be reckoned with in due time......snip~

So, do the 27% of Republicans/Trump supporters that are Pro-Choice belong in the Republican Party?

[Common]

The democrat party is laying out their far left progressive agenda, they believe thats a winner in the future and I agree, when these whacked out brainwashed college kids vote they will vote far left, until they get a job and have kids. Unless of course im giving them too much credit as being the same as all other generations

So, do the 27% of Republicans/Trump supporters that are Pro-Choice belong in the Republican Party?

Let me know when you see the Leadership of the Repubs calling for them to adopt a pure ideology.
