How Does One Define "Democrat"?

This will be a shock to the Southern Democrats.

Reports that the Democratic Party may add support for gay marriage to its party platform are in keeping with a significant shift of opinion on this issue among Democrats nationwide. Just four years ago, in 2008, only half (50%) of Democrats favored allowing gays and lesbians to marry legally, while 42% were opposed. Support for gay marriage among Democrats has jumped to 65% today, more than double the percentage that is opposed (29%)...

Or perhaps it's time to re-define the term "Democrat".

I imagine there are plenty of black Democrats who aren't very happy with it either.

Sounds like a long overdue, positive development to me.

Overdue? It took you Democrats 115 years to realize blacks should not be segregated against. This is lightning fast compared to that.

Another term for Democrats is not Facists. They fit the term perfectly.
