Never hurts to have a re-posting of this one.

To be honest, I think there is a bit of a re-alignment coming - the current coalitions that make up the two major parties are beginning to fray - the one that makes up the Dems much faster.

I'm going to admit that I've had a feeling some conservatives have just as strong an impulse to control things as Hillary Clinton does - and I have the same opinion their control freak attitude that I have about Hillary's: I don't like it.

And the paleocons manage to sound even more to the left, economically, than the Democrats do.

Maybe the Dems just think that being "liberal" means that they can't be too overtly Marxist.

But it's interesting that Buchanan had absolutely no problem jumping into bed (for a while) with Lenora Fulani, a hard-core Marxist ideologue.

And Lyndon LaRouche is a registered Democrat.

Democrat 2004 ticket: Buchanan/LaRouche!

I am just beginning to get through this thread, but I couldn't agree with you more. I find it discouraging but true.
