Its not enough for the Democrats to be against Bush. They have to figure out first what they stand for. Otherwise, they're not going to regain national power for perhaps a generation. At the rate they're going, they'll be extinct long before then and they won't be missed.

What cracks me us is when dems such as Mcalliffe claim that theirs is the "Big tent party" that allows for a "vast diversity of opinion". Truth is, theirs is the party of litmus tests. They are so narrow in their thinking (and their tolerance of dissenting opinion) that they have become incapable of introspection or reform.

Progressive? BWaaaaahaaaa!

Where is Howard Dean this morning (No talk show appearences)? Is the DNC afraid of letting "The Scream" loose in public? Or, is the MSM covering for him by keeping him in the safe closet of the lunatic Democrat Party left-wing morons?

Some of the Democrats call themselves "Progressive" or "liberal". They are anything but progressive or liberal. They are stuck in past, they are against anything new, and their thought processes are narrow minded.

Very insightful. However i quibble with the phrase, "two party system" there is no such system since there are more than 2 parties extant. There is only a defacto two party system. Our thinking has to turn to the extinction of the evil component of this system; and not taking the continued existence of the demon-rats for granted. Hastening the demise of this party of evil is the best gift that we can give to our posterity and the Old Republic.

I have been predicting this since the start of the election. All the democratic could offer this election was an alternitive to George W. Bush, but no soild ideology. When ever a party unites on the sole reason of destroying a single person or adminastration they will not win. It is issues that wins an election, for the most part Americans what a leader that has a clear agenda, and in the event where one candidate hasn't made a clear agenda they will vote for the other even if they don't completely agree with that agenda.

What you will see shortly maybe in the next 5 to 6 years unless there is major reform in the Democratic party is the formation of a moderate party with guys like Miller and Liberman, as well as some of the more moderate Republicans.

Implosion is a beautiful thing. Watching the demonicrats is like watching rats run from a tenament fire. Everyone is running for an exit that doesn't exist. Rush always says there is no united democratic party, but rather a number of special interest groups who are divergent and becoming desparate as they lose their power. You have the enviro-wackos, the unions, the minority-especially black group, the diminishing Hispanic group and the socialist communist bloc and the ever diminishing moderate conservative bloc and the feminists. When the dems were in power they could use bribes and coercion to keep these groups in the fold. Now that they are semi-permanently out of power the groups are going their own way which will lead quickly to their demise.

Absent a single unifying charismatic character, not Hillary, who is so attractive that he can get the groups to put aside their differences to achieve a common goal, the party is heading for the dustbin of history.

And I couldn't be happier.

You're being a little too optimistic. Give it at least fifty, things move a lot slower than we'd like in the world of politics. There are millions and millions of deluded dems who have to die before things will change. Those millions are so narrow minded that there is no other way.
