The Democrats seem to be veering farther and farther toward socialism. They are forced left because Bush has moved into their territory on economic social issues. Plus the elections have cost them a lot of their moderate spokesmen, and the ones further on the left are running things. You see the opposite of this in California where the Right has committed suicide the last 8 years by running candidates that are too "Socially Conservative" for their voters. They have been running the type of people who the Right can get elected in Texas, but not in California.

?? What and how is this related to any conversation? I certainly never mentioned Karl Rove....Did you? Sorry, should have made myself clearer. I was doing a wink and a nod at Bill's opening page for this thread. My apologies. The Democrats seem to be veering farther and farther toward socialism. We certainly look at it differently. Every candidate who has a serious chance at the Dem nomination is a DLC type. I'm discounting Dean's chances who thinks of himself as a fiscal conservative. We've gone from a political situation in which someone from the left wing of the Dem party, Teddy Kennedy, had a chance at the 1980 nomination to one in which no one from that wing has a serious chance. My view is that it's running further right. About where the Rockefeller Reps were. One other thing....The US isn't a democracy. The US is a Democracy WITHIN a Republic. Don't know what that relates to. One can toss terms around all night and still not talk with one another. That sort of conversation simply needs more specific content.
