2. Personally, I think they're clever and well-planned "plants", put there to give the appearance
of bipartisanship. But don't tell anybody.

3. If we had proper party delineation, they would be conservatives, not democrats
Edited on Fri Feb-06-09 05:45 AM by SoCalDem
We squished a bunch of factions into two parties, but only one , the republicans, knows how to hold their group together

what we really have is this:..in terms of issues & policies

Money grubbers
Racists
Fetus worshipers
Gun nuts
Progressives
Moderates
Conservatives
Fundamentalist Christians
Libertarians


Progressives & moderates tend to be more about the future and making progress...and that means giving UP the old ways, and peeking over the horizon..not looking back..

all the others are about dictating other people's behaviors and for hanging onto "the old ways".. even though their main issues are diverse, at their hearts, they are all regressives, and will band together easily

5. They've been doing this since 1981 when they backed Reagan's eco plans.
