On the other hand, there needs to be a real examination among the party members as to why issues important to core Democrat constituencies prove to be losers nationally.

Bingo!

[eureka!]

FYI. Feel free to megaping John, this one has a lot of meat to chew on...

(Outside View commentaries are written for UPI by outside writers who specialize in issues of public interest.)

I guess the real question is why UPI would find this article to be in the public's interest?

Can't read without a smile breaking out. :-)

[eureka!]

Yep. Lots of nice lines, all doom and gloom for the 'rats. The sheeple may be awakening....

It's the "Stopped-Clock-Is-Right-Twice-A-Day" phenom.

Issues such as liberal attacks on the Boy Scouts, support for needle exchange in the inner city, and a reflexive hostility to U.S. military action are part and parcel of the modern Democratic Party.

This is going to get 'em every time as long as we have troops fighting.

The reality is that the collapse of the Democrats is part of a nearly 40-year-long process.

It took that long for the socialists of my generation to infiltrate and proceed to completely remake the party in their Marxist image, culminating with placing one of their own in the White House in 1992.

What's happening now is the result of the exposure of who they REALLY are by the NEW AXIS OF TRUTH, Fox News, talk radio and the internet.

from his mouth to God's ear. you can not debase the morals of a country and expect the people to embrace your position.

United Press International isn't as bad as Associated Press.

This article is a year old. The UPI guy has done a more recent update on the same topic. "Emerging Democrat Minority II" http://interestalert.com/brand/siteia.shtml?Story=st/sn/11190000aaa020c2.upi&Sys=siteia&Fid=POLITICS&Type=News&Filter=Politics

Here's a clue: Creating wealth is better than distributing it; creating opportunities is better than "equalizing" them; defending the constitution is better than ignoring it; promoting democracy is better than asserting moral equivalence.

Repeat.... repeatedly... . repeat again...

"The challenge of repositioning their party so that it is more attractive to the American electorate is a difficult one."

Wonder why??? May be its the constellation of the stars?

Thanks ! It is a good article alright !

The 'RATS lost ground in 2002 and must have perceived that as due to not being far enough left. One of their corrective measures was to dump Gephardt for someone farther left. I like that plan ! Keep it up, stupid 'RATS !! ...

Exposed: Pelosi's Socialist Ties

Pelosi leader of 'Progressive Caucus'

From those links, these excerpts ...

"DSA/USA, the 'Democratic Socialists of America' are the U.S. arm of the Socialist International. They share the symbol of the fist holding the rose, and they share the tasks to be accomplished — in our case, an altogether different America ...

"Some time ago — the date is missing from the descriptions — 58 members of the U.S. House of Representatives formed a subdivision of the Democratic Socialists of America and called it the Progressive Caucus. Their statement of purpose, as well as their membership list, formed an integral part of the dsausa Web site (www.dsausa.org ). The membership list appeared on the screen with the continuous background of the fist holding the rose, should anyone have missed the connection with the Socialist International."

Rep. Nancy Pelosi, D-Calif., the likely [she is now] new minority leader in the House of Representatives, serves on the executive committee of the socialist-leaning Progressive Caucus, a bloc of about 60 votes or nearly 30 percent of the minority vote in the lower chamber.

The Democratic Socialists of America's chief organizing goal is to work within the Democratic Party and remove the stigma attached to "socialism" in the eyes of most Americans.

"Stress our Democratic Party strategy and electoral work," explains an organizing document of the DSA. "The Democratic Party is something the public understands, and association with it takes the edge off. Stressing our Democratic Party work will establish some distance from the radical subculture and help integrate you to the milieu of the young liberals."
