"This is a warning sign on so many levels, when people like Evan Bayh walk way rather than serve their country,"

This is wrong. The RATS exist to "serve their country to the enemies of this nation!"

What’s wrong is that they are beginning to understand people are now paying attention to what they are doing, and what they are doing is indefensible.

The Democrat Party is no longer “Moderate”. It is “Progressive” ie. Socialist/Communist. If you aren’t one you bail. Bayh bailed.

“The moderate Democrat is a vanishing breed,”

I think it would be o.k. to leave out the word moderate.

“Steve McMahon, a former Senate staffer for the late Democratic Sen. Ted Kennedy of Massachusetts. “The moderate Democrat is a vanishing breed,””

He wouldn’t recognize a moderate if he was shown one...he worked for Teddy.

Sorry, but being a democrat senator or congressman is not serving anyone but that member.

I no longer have any regard for those crooks and loons.

The sooner they go elsewhere off this earth, the better.

Sorry, libs, but it’s war now.

When a Kennedy staffer says that there are no more moderate democrats anymore, you know they are in trouble.

Good riddance to one and all liberals and their ilk!
It’s too bad they don’t have the will to change, but they also will answer to the Lord God for their votes against Him and His ways.

"The moderate Democrat is a vanishing breed,"

As is the moderate Republican.

It’s so terrible. The Democrat party is being transformed from the party of moderate baby-killers to the party of extremist baby-killers.

Warning sign? LOL

>>>>>"The moderate Democrat is a vanishing breed," said McMahon

The last Democrat who came close to being a moderate was Zell Miller. May be.

The most amazing thing about this announcement is that Bayh was probably WORKING with the White House on this and held to the last second to allow Rahm Emmanuel to anoint his successor by denying any other Democrat candidates the time to organize a petition to be included on the Ballot so that the White House candidate (apparently Baron Hill) would not face a primary challenge.

This is par for the course in Obama land where he specialized in creating situations where he had no challenger over and over.

Santorum commended Bayh for having a clearer head than he did: “He looked at the conditions practically and knew that running would prove to be toxic.”

Hind skin is better than foreskin.

I think the same thing is happening to "real" Democrats that is happening to "real" Republicans. They don't recognize their party and what it stands for today. There was a time when Democrats were "liberal" and Republicans were "conservative." But everything has shifted to the left. Republicans are dismayed by the "moderate/progressive" Republicans today (RINOs) and the Democrats are dismayed by the "1960's radicals" that are guiding their party.

I mentioned this in another post. I had the same thing happen to me in the Episcopal Church. All going fine, then one day looked up from the prayerbook to discover I didn't know the people sitting in the pew with me ... and they weren't even "believing" what I believed ... so I left. I think this is where Bayh is right now. He doesn't recognize anyone "sitting in the pew" with him. Do you think Harry Reid reflects Bayh's political feelings? Or even more frightening, Obama? If I were Bayh, I'd get up and leave too. Associating with such people means you are one of them. He has a fine "Democrat" legacy, honorable, in fact. Why should he allow that to be trashed by these people. I think we will see more of this ... as it grows, it will look like the Democrats are trying to start a Tea Party Movement of their own. I believe this is Bayh's motive.

This is what we also saw in Massachusetts. The "real" Democrats don't want to be associated with the 1960's Radical bunch any more ... hence, New Jersey, Virginia and Scott Brown.

A contender in the next round of DNC presidential primaries. I’m sure Evan has lots of great things to say about Ethanol, hogs, and other issues to draw the favorable attention of Iowa voters.

Consider these two basic attributes of the American voting population, as we regularly see in poles:

Philosophical: 42% Conservative, 37% Moderate, 21% Liberal
Political: 34% Democrat, 31% Republican, 35% Independent

Folks - the biggest group on either attribute is “conservatives”. There are more conservatives than Republicans.

There just aren’t that many liberal votes out there. This Administration decided there was a sea-change when there wasn’t, and they are getting smoked for going hard left.

Did you see that picture of a Pit Bull that went after the Porcupine and got 1300 quills stuck in it’s face? That was Rahm Emanual’s failed attack on the American voter.

Something really stinks about this story.

Here’s my theory... When the poll numbers reveal that Obama doesn’t have a prayer of being re-elected he’ll announce that he won’t run leaving the Democrat nomination wide open for Hillary.

Of course, Hillary will need a handsome youngish looking guy to run for the veep spot...

Someone who can help her in the midwest...

Hello Evan Bayh.
