The Democratic Party has been ignoring their conservative, rural constituents for decades. The voices of Ralph Hall, Sam Rayburn, Charles Stenholm, and Zell Miller are all discarded by the urban cocktail-circuit elites of the Democratic Party fiefdomship.

Even liberal Democrats such as former Mayor Ed Koch, Mario Cuomo, and Leftists such as Tony Blair are ignored if they don't tout the official Democratic Party "fight Bush", "everything is Bush's fault," and "smear Bush" strategies.

The closest that Democrats come to working for rural Americans is to throw wads of money at farmers and to avoid being radically anti-gun whenever they are outside of their urban enclaves (for whatever brief moments in time that might be).

But being less "pro-American" than the Iraqis whom we've liberated is hardly a recipe for success, in rural or urban America.

And if the Democratic Party elite keeps ignoring their Zell Miller's, Jerry Brown's, and Mayor Koch's, rest assured that they will continue to lose Presidential, House, Senate, and governorship elections...in addition to losing their ability to raise campaign funds.

Tony Blair is a member of the British Labour Party not the Liberal Democrats.

It would have been better for Blair if they had simply ignored him. Instead, Bill Clinton went out and created a brand-new scandal for him by implying that Blair has been in poor health for the last few years and has kept it a secret. This is what happens to leftists who step off the plantation and support George Bush.

The Republicans are helping the Democrats do this. The redistricting in Texas was designed to eliminate all the white Democrat Congressmen, including a couple who are reasonably conservative who represented rural areas.

Eventually, the Democrats will represent only the inner cities and border towns.

Correction: Andrew Cuomo. Mario is still a loyal Clintonista.

Don't be so sure about Koch. I was born and raised in NYC. I liked Koch alot when he was mayor. He's the only dem I ever voted for. But during Clinton's impeachment, he was right there with the other kool-aid drinkers.
