WASHINGTON (AP) — Vice President Joe Biden on Thursday told Democrats to stop apologizing for their policies and go on offense as party leaders try to overcome pessimism about prospects for the November election.

At a Democratic National Committee gathering, Biden said he and President Barack Obama have an obligation to raise money and campaign for the party's candidates. He said he has signed up to participate in more than 120 races and that Obama has given him permission to participate in every campaign where he can be helpful.

"I am so tired about hearing about the demise of the Democratic Party. Give me a break," Biden said. "My central message to you is look: I think we should not apologize for a single thing "

5. republicans know that too, that why they try to supress peoples right to their one vote!

Republicans spend a HUGE amount of their funds and time to suppress votes.

Ds everywhere can make republicans waste all those billions/ all those hours making voting more difficult- by casting their Vote.

2. Hear, hear!

Remember Truman:

I've seen it happen time after time. When the Democratic candidate allows himself to be put on the defensive and starts apologizing for the New Deal and the fair Deal, and says he really doesn't believe in them, he is sure to lose. The people don't want a phony Democrat. If it's a choice between a genuine Republican, and a Republican in Democratic clothing, the people will choose the genuine article, every time; that is, they will take a Republican before they will a phony Democrat, and I don't want any phony Democratic candidates in this campaign.

We have to embrace who we are. We need numbers too, in order to break deadlocks.

The one thing I will say that the Democrats do much better than the Republicans do now.. is our leaders can rally its members.. they used to say getting Democrats together was like herding cats.. the Republicans (especially in the House) now own that.
