As a conservative, I must admit that I am truly enjoying the current freakshow that is the Democratic nomination process. Between Hillary’s shrill rallying cries and Obama’s vague talk of change, it’s great to see the two candidates tear each other apart to the overall detriment of the party.
I think there is a recurring problem with the Democratic party, and this race has really brought it to the forefront. Many Obama and Hillary supporters that I meet don’t really know much about either party’s stances on various issues outside of extremely broad strokes.
The biggest problem the average Democrat has is that they tend to make all their major decisions using a thought process based on emotion. They focus first and foremost on what sounds and feels good rather than what may or may not be factually true. A beatuiful, reassuring fiction always trumps a harsh and unpleasant truth in their minds. I like to call this thought process the Progressive Liberal Moral Continuum, and it is as follows: [...Continued at link here]

Obama may have problems with the closet racists of the Democrat party. I heard this joke from an ardent Democrat, who claims he will still vote for Obama, but he says “Oh, great, thats just what we need, another black guy asking for some change..”..
The Dems have spent decades dividing the country into many “victim” subgroups. Having done so, they cannot now understand why they can’t get them in alignment. It’s like “The New Queen for a Day Show”, with each victim group attempting to one-up each other on the neediness index. It’s like herding cats.

Right on the money. Liberalism always backfires.
Look, when November comes around the Democrats will get behind their nominee.
All of this noise about angry Hillary voters going over to McCain, and disgruntled Obama voters supporting McCain is pure, unadulterated baloney.
The Dems will vote for the Dems.
Not only that, for what it’s worth, but Mr. McCain’s campaign is in a shambles; and he’s going to try and out liberal Obama(not possible).
Some very rude surprises lie ahead - and none of them are good ones.
They had to run into this intellectual/political meltdown sooner or later... Having spent your entire political life in the sort of idealogical no-man’s-land where facts are incidental and accountability is a foreign word, as Liberals have been permitted to do in this country... you just know that the free ride had end at some point. And YES, I am enjoying the h%$# out of this right along with everyone else in America who is sick to death of these spoiled darlings of the MSM, and the apathetic, entitlement junkies and ill-informed, sleepwalking, fat,lazy cattle who make up the DNC voter base.

Ha! Right on the money.

That is basically their religion.
The real problem is that Obama and company such as Reverend Wright are the closet racists of the Democrat party.
And they fell over themselves to crow about it, not really thinking that we were listening to them.
I think there is an ambivalence on this one. New money is attributed to greed though the greed is separated from political benevolence when the new money is held by a "progressive." Old money is often regarded as superior because the owner of it is not out striving in the Capitalist Market; he is not currently grinding the faces of the poor. Soros is not reviled because he actively aids the left, in fact is the fuel tank and ignition coil of the left. Gates, on the other hand is castigated (gently) as an evil capitalist by the same voices that praise him for his political progressivism.
Good point re: new money.
