The concept of a conservative democratic died in the early 1960’s. Once the hippies, marxists, and liberals hijacked the party its been a trainwreck ever since.
I track the “blue dogs” in my website http://www.theusmat.com/ The question I put is this. Are they conservatives or “Emmanuel’s Sirens” luring voters away from the true course into the rocks? The coaltion was put together by an IL (3rd) congressman (Ron Emanuel) during the Clinton administration and has continued on through the current /00-08 election cycle.
