Aha! The mind is turning now. Here would be a sixth classification: DieHard.
6) Diehard: - A person dedicated to their party such that if they are not one of the 5 above, they believe that through their efforts they can change their party back to one of a moral and beneficial to the country nature. Thus, they believe as a conservative, vote as a conservative, yet persistently stick to the label of Democrat even if they feel the shame of their party on their shoulders. (This person might rate better in my estimation that someone like Pat Buchanan who jumped ship).

Well, there is another category: Democratic conservatives with lots of courage. While conservatives (particularly pro-lifers) have been driven out of the national Democratic party, there are some states where some of the most consistently convervative and most strongly prolife elected officials are Democrats. Believe or not, South Dakota is one of those states. Unfortunately (and obviously), these aren't the Democrats we end up sending to Washington, and I do sometimes wonder why our conservative Democrats don't give up and join the Republicans. I think, however, that they still have some hope that their party will come around--at least on certain issues. I was really amused at one campaign event to watch a multi-term Democrat (Rep. Al Waltman) read the riot act to a fellow Democrat who was less-than-solidly prolife. I sure wish we had someone like Al representing us in Washington rather than Johnson and Daschle. A gutsy guy!

You forgot stupid. Not ignorant, because ignorance comes of not knowing..stupid comes of believing everything you are told by the left, and not having the mental capacity to question it.. I have an acquaintance like that.. doesnt occur to her to question anything she reads in the papers or sees on Oprah, if it's in the media, it must be true.

Self destructive, masochists/sadists.
They know their deathstyle choices are wrong, deadly, and how they effect those around them. Instead of change, they punish themselves by going deeper into the darkness. They know they deserve it.
They're angry, bitter, and wish to bring as many happy, productive people down into the pits with them, so that others "may feel ther pain" from the very choices they themselve have made.

Democrats (or "Liberals") fall into two categories: scoundrels (mostly the leaders) and fools.

The Greedy Poor: They are the ones who never pay taxes, but they live off of taxes, and they vote for Democrats who will constantly raise taxes.

The Democratic Party has become a coalition of groups (they don't recognize the concept of the individual) which want government to give them resources or power which they have not earned in any legitimate manner.

Hello..doing some research for a colleague. Any idea where I can find somewhat current statistics on the number of Democrat millionaires vs. Republican millionaires? Thanks in advance for your help.
