is a Democrat, other than Evan Bayh, acknowledging that Democrats are contemptuous of middle-America values?

Communists never change their ulterior motives. They will alter it with a facade, but it will remain the same.

I think Lieberman gets it.

Here's the big problem with the Democratic party, IMHO.

They are so divided that the "hard core" Dems have contempt for moderates like Lieberman and Bayh, and types like Lieberman and Bayh are probably what the Dems need in order to get ahead in the future.

I read DU and those people are in full meltdown mode with this recount business (they keep reporting it's happening, but I sure can't find it in any of the MSM or on any New Hampshire site). Anyhow, I digress.

Mention a name like Bayh to those folks and they'd denigrate him. So what's a party to do. Hard left won't consider moderates, and Dems don't want to alienate the hard left in order to move to the center.

Decisions, decisions, LOL.

They all are and this is how they phrase it: "The Democratic Party is out of touch with vast swathes of Americans. We fail to reach them with our values because until we can make them realize what a stupid blundering chimp they are voting for, who went to war because Cheney wanted his stock portfolio to go up, who is bound and determined to see every senior and every child die for lack of health care, every person of working age without a job, every woman dying of a coat-hanger abortion because the Republican taliban has an even more extreme view of the role of women, no retirement security for anyone because he wants to reward his rich contributors, they will not listen to us on values issues.

Let's totally run down a President in war-time, let's give him no credibility in America, and then Americans will want to vote for gay marriage, outsourcing our nation's security to the U.N., higher taxes, lawsuit lotteries, turning our prisons to voting mills, doing away with private property rights, outlawing SUVs (except for us), and all of the policies, ideas, and programs that Karl Marx could only dream about!"
