I think up until the 1970s....there was a standard Democrat, who believed in the process and the general ethics of the nation. After the 1970s...it was obvious that there were two types of Democrats. One bent on accomplishing everything...with no ethical anchor tied to them, and the old-fashioned type.
We are still at this point today.
I would like to know, who are the old fashioned types? I can not think of any, though there may be some out there.
