"Of course, [the Iraqi resistance] is riddled with opportunism, local rivalry, demagoguery, and criminality. But if we were to only support pristine movements, then no resistance will be worthy of our purity."
Wow.

The farther left the democrat party goes the more people they will lose.
I can't believe that most democrats in this country are traitors and believe the things the loony left believes.
Let them spout this nonsense. It's our gain.

"I didn't want Nancy Pelosi talking sense to them; I wanted John Ashcroft to come busting through the wall with a submachine gun to round everyone up for an immediate trip to Gitmo, with Charles Graner on hand for interrogation."
To quote any given hip hop artist "I'm down with that".

I also liked when the author said he wanted Arnold Schwarzenegger to slug someone!

I will say it time and time again - the disintegration of the Democrats is not good for this country. The Democratic party will continue to lose the blue-collar constituency and will become absolutely powerless. This will leave the Republicans with no opposition and will inevitably lead to widespread corruption.

Let's join hands and sing... Where have all the liberals gone? Long time passing. Where have all the liberals gone? Long time ago. Where have all the liberals gone? Off to Canada everyone. When will they ever learn? When will they ever learn?

I don't think you will find many people who wish for us to have a one party system.
But these nutcases are taking over the democratic party. They need to go.

This guy is a sane liberal--i.e. his heart is in the right place, no matter how much I might disagree with how he thinks certain problems should be solved.
The people he describes, on the other hand, are anti-Americans. Both sides have a tendency to spout rhetoric, but for me the test is simple--put the words these people say into the mouths of people during WW2, and instead of terrorists and insurgents they're saying these things about the Nazis.

The Democratic party will continue to lose the blue-collar constituency and will become absolutely powerless. This will leave the Republicans with no opposition and will inevitably lead to widespread corruption. As long as the country as a whole is moving toward conservatism. The democratic party becomes less and less relevant. Eventually they will truly be a fringe party. I don't see that as a bad thing because people will still lean the way they do now but will just come up with a new name.
For a two party system I would suggest, moderate Republicans and conservative Republicans, with todays democratic party having about the same influence as the green party has now.
The views stated in this article are without any redeeming value whatsoever. Let them fade into oblivion.

I agree. I would feel a lot better if the democratic party were in the hands of sane men.

Yes! When the Democratic Party fails to appeal to "normal" liberals, the Republican Party of today will become the Democratic Party of tomorrow. And then where will we be?

Don't worry. Republicans will have plenty of opposition soon enough. The tens of millions of voters in this country who still depend on Big Government everyday will make sure of that.
To: Theresawithanh
What I needed to counter this speaker was not a Democrat like me who might argue that elections were, in fact, important. What I needed was a Republican like Arnold who would walk up to him and punch him in the face.

The New Republic, every conservative's favorite liberal magazine. One of the last respites of sensible liberalism.
