Another freeper suggested about a month ago that the real ideological debate will shift from liberalism vs. conservatism to libertarianism vs. conservatism.

I wrote Reinventing Libertaria for the Washington dispatch a couple of months ago.
This may be what you are thinking of.

In a country moving perceptibly to the right, does a retrenched, leftist Democratic Party open up middle ground for its own replacement to the right? <snip>

This was not the article I was thinking of, but you make some good points in it.

And further, I think that its completely possible for the majority of the black people in this country (that is, the 95% of blacks who consistently vote for Democrats regardless of any rhyme or reason) to create their own political party.

What a great idea. I may need to start writing articles about the need for this under a(nother) pseudoname. "Time for a Black Party? The Black American Party? The Black House Party? The Black Block Party? (no too anarchist). The Black Entertainment Party? (cross over appeal to all rap loving fools!)

If Easley does win re-election, the media and the RAT leaders are going tout Mike Easley as the "Great Southern Hope - The man who will enable Southern Democrats to rise again".

But then again, any remaining RAT in the South would be given that title.


Heck, I read they're even touting Mary Landrieu as a presidential or vice presidential candidate. I kid you not.

And they should be--unless you can influence future generations, you're sunk. I'm not sure of the demographics, but isn't the Democrat base getting older while the Republican base is getting younger?

"I bet McAwful doesn't agree with this assessment. Let's hope he is still in his deep denial, and is still taking marching orders from Billary.

One thing this article fails to emphasize is Bill Clinton's huge losses for his party during his presidency."

It's been all downhill since the reign of Clintigula.
