[Conservative Vermont Vet]

So, what this tells me is that over the last 10-20 years the Republicans are starting to lean toward the liberal side and the DemocRATs have turned to the dark side of liberalism (there used to be many conservative Dems, but apparently no more).

Your right. They are now an endangered species, notwithstanding the so called Blue Dogs.

I think the last conservative Dem was Zell Miller

BTW can anyone site the last time a RAT actually bucked their leadership and "reached across the aisle" to support a Republican sponsored Bill?

I can't!!!

BUT I can name many RINO's who jumped ship and joined the rats over and over and over.

Yeah, that's my thought too.

I think this is a hard mind shift for the older folks who have always voted Dem. They still think the Dems are run by "conservative" types. They don't realize that most of the current Dems are trying to turn our country into a socialist one. One where the government HAS TO control everything.

p.s. if you haven't heard of him check out Allen West (FL). I'd like to get him in a position to run for Prez.
