You are correct. They are leftists and their single-minded goal is power. That is why NOW overlooked Clinton's abuse of women, why Torricelli skated and Newt was steamrolled, why the attrocities of all Communists regimes are buried, why they shamelessly con minorities with phoney welfare programs, why they scare the elderly just to keep taxes high under the guise of SS, why they oppose anything the Republicans do no matter what the effect on the country, why........on and on and on.
