I imagine that Clinton chased most of the Reagan Democrats out of the party anyway so I doubt that there are many left. Anyone who understood Reagan would not really vote for Kerry. Yet I find this all, well...disappointing, disappointing and lacking in even an awareness of the very notions of decency, honor, dignity and proper comportment. You would expect better behavior out of a crowd of stevedores.
I have never seen the Democrats fall so low as they have the last few years. As pitiful as Tip O'Neal was he would have never stooped to this. This is even beneath LBJ. Clinton really corrupted them, not that they were ever a bunch of angels but still, they at least tried to keep a facade of decency, and I do think some of the Older New Deal types were decent folks.
That being said, I do not understand why people can tolerate the Democrats, particularly in this time of peril. over and over again they show that they are not serious people. I am beginning to think that all these "polls" are outright lies. If I were Mrs Reagan I would be furious. I would call up at the highest levels and tell them to back off, back off our I will call you out publicly.
It is only Tues. and they are falling apart. Where will they be by the Weekend.
You're right, the democrat party used to have some decent people, I knew some growing up. But, they began to lose their conscience with the passing of men like Scoop Jackson and they lost their soul with Bill Clinton.
