Dems adise themselves to stay away from liberals
About time the Democrats wake up and realize they are marginalizing themselves.

...if only republicans would take the same advice and try to distance themselves from the equally obnoxious and loud right-wing-christian-fundamentalists....

Didn't I say this exact same thing about two weeks ago when the issue over the crazy "God hates gays" thing came up? Oh yeah, I did and psoper called me crazy. Just so turns out some pretty reputable people think the same thing...........and they're democrats. Coincidence, I think not.

Third way worked Sooooo well for clinton, didn't it?
Let's see, under the "third way" regieme, we lost the house, and the senate. And we had a president impeached.
Those three need to go the way of the dodo
Triangulation doesn't work. If people want to vote republican, they're going to vote for a real republican. They don't need republican-lite.

So are you proud that the party you most agree with uses cult-like tactics to win elections? And they aren't nearly as representative of the country as you think...just how most conservatives call leftist activists the 'vocal minority', the bible thumpers are the same.

I wasn't claiming that rupublicans are less than 50%...I was saying that the ultra conservative chritian right wing is similar to the ultra liberal left wing activists in that they both get more press and make more noise, but aren't representative of the country. Helladumb seemed to be saying that the Christian fundamentalists were the heart of the country...and that's not true.
