[RightDemocrat]

Some Republicans are moderate to liberal so why shouldn't there be conservative Democrats ? My party affiliation is at least partly traditional as I am a southern Democrat. I hold conservative views on most social issues but populist on economic issues. Republicans are a little too pro-big business and anti-labor for my taste. I certainly don't agree with much of the current Democratic Party leadership as it is too socially liberal and politically correct. Unless one of the major parties wakes up and acknowledges the voters who are angry about so-called "free trade" and illegal immigration there will be a strong third party movement. Check out my blog which has current articles and archives at http://www.rightdemocrat.blogspot.com and it will tell more about what I stand for.

From your page: "RightDemocrat...promotes economic populism and traditional social values within the Democratic Party."

Seriously now, what does "economic populism" mean and where are these "traditional social values within the Democratic Party"?

I'm not trying to rip you, but for the life of me I haven't seen anything remotely close to traditional values or anything that would advance economic freedom in the Democrat party for decades.

I have a friend who's a Christian but a union Democrat here in NY state. His parents had a picture of JFK on their mantle.

The irony is that, the Republican Party has the most contributors. and it is the Democratic Party has the biggest contributors. Essentially the Democratic Party is the patronizing rich and the patronizable poor, setting themselves against the nonpatronizing and unpatronizable middle class. Republicans don't want to patronize people on economic grounds, and they don't want to be patronized by rich people, either.

Gak ! You're not seriously hoping to 'muddy up the waters' with end-runs like this out of the DEM Playbook, are you ? Can't you just come out and advocate enslaving your fellow man through socialism like the other Dems ?
