I agree with you. If any of them do, they are a distinct minority.
I tell every blue dog democrat I meet in Mobile the same thing: Yesterday’s Southern Democrat is today’s Conservative Republican....
Most don’t want to hear it.....NONE deny it.

you’re gonna just love Obama’s ‘New Nationalism’ speech tomorrow.

Was Hoffer a democrat?
He was a genuinely unique person, and I’m not sure using him this way really works.
There still are some. On the intellectual side, Victor Davis Hanson and Walter Russell Mead. On the political side, Sen. Lieberman -- a liberal Democrat but one who knows who the external enemy is.
I thought they were called “Scoop Jackson” Democrats.
Eric Hoffer’s book, “The True Believer”, is a good, quick read. I remember reading it in High School and realizing that it made perfect sense. Hoffer writes in a very clear style, and demonstrates real understanding of human nature. Today’s Obama supporters include a lot of “True Believers”.
They were replaced by Eric Holder democrats.
I loved seeing his specials.
He was captivating.
Anybody notice a commonality here?
The group is primarily, though not exclusively, composed of occupations who produce no wealth for society. They are essentially parasitic on society and the economy.
Everything I needed to know about Democrats I learned as I watched them cheer the death of American soldiers while Bush was president.
I think Eric Hoffer was before the hippies drugged the Dem Party and much of America.
They’re dead, Jim.
Well, I am VERY surprised to hear VDH is a Democrat.
Are you sure?
Hoffer was a giant compared to today’s turds.
Anyone who is anyone in the D Party at the policy making level is required to have gone through the Harvard or Yale group think process and those who haven’t are shunned. That’s the problem.
Anyone with patriotism, common sense, love of country and half a brain fled the Democrat Party years ago. I remember my own grandfather, a lifelong Democrat, pale and stunned, sitting at his kitchen table, letting the realization sink in that he was going to have to vote for Reagan.
It's true, and there's more than one way to make it rational. Victor Davis Hanson is registered as a rat.
There's only the rat party that controls the CA state offices.
I could be wrong, but any registered voter can vote in your primaries. Correct me, if I'm wrong.
They have more potential than is readily appreciated. They can help push a leftwing moonbat that will be rejected by the electorate in the general election, or help a more moderate rat in the general election. In most gerrymandered districts, they don't make a differencce.
