The sensible dims have all died off, a shame.

Heck - At one time there was even a "conservative wing" of the democrat party.

You're probably too young to remember Washington state democrat Senator Henry "Scoop" Jackson.

Elected to congress 6 terms then to the senate for 6 terms.

Liberal on social issues but a patriot, very pro-military, pro-Israel, pro-nuclear power, and most of all - he absolutely hated communists with a passion!

Today a man like Scoop wouldn't even be allowed to attend the democrat convention!.

Thank you for thinking I’m younger than I am.

A man like Tip O’Neill wouldn’t fit in either.

Heck, neither would JFK or Bobby either.

I remember him well. We also had Governor Dixie Lee Ray a Democrat who you will never find her kind again in the Democrat Party.
