Can you name one Democrat in congress who doesn't caucus with their liberal party leaders?
Then tell me which Democrats Sarah will campaign for?
I don’t know about Bob, but I can name two Democrats who come close to fitting the bill. They are the two Georgia House Democrats who voted against the TARP, both times, along with seven House Republicans.
Dave, there are no Democrat House members from Georgia who vote conservative with any consistancy. One votes conservative about 45% of the time while the others are between 0% and 25%.
So even though two may have voted against TARP, those two are still way to liberal.
Bob did at least asnwer that there were none. I'm going to have to give Bob partial credit for that.
Beside... We were ...or at least I am ..talking about VOTING Democrats who would shift to a new party.... ONE of 2 because one will be defunct.... I guess the fog of minimal concentration might be a little too much to overcome for some on this forum.
Yes, in a sense you are right. But every now and then when a seismic event occurs in American politics, like a bill that would fundamentally changes this nation from a free market capitalist economic system to that of a socialist system, you get a chance to see what our legislators are really made of. The rest of the time, it’s just party politics. The voting on the TARP bill exposed the socialists among us, as well as the capitalists. It is often good to remember there were Democrats among they latter group, as well as Republicans among the former.
