They have valuable lessons in Gore and Kerry.

But did they learn them? I think not. If anything, they are being pushed further to the Left by the moonbats and Mooreon.orgs. The center of the Dem party has lurched leftward. I think they have to go al the way to the bottom before they can come back up. IMHO, they're still going down the hill.

You are SO right. It may be the Democrats are working on getting Democrat support as much as anything else. Their left is trying to make Republicans totally unacceptable so that conservative Democrats will vote for them as being the lesser of two evils.

#428, They could have learned their lesson,but they have spent the last twenty years building up their "moon bat" base and they must talk like Al Qaeda types to please their base before shifting to the right from 0 left. Their biggest problem is if they say anything that sounds like even a teeny tiny shift to moderation, the base will eat them for lunch.
