General Discussion

And whether by design or not that party has gone totally radical. This drove a lot of the conservatives into the Democratic Party. And they brought their conservative values with them and they are influencing legislation.

Pres Obama, in a brilliant move, abandoned the left after the 2008 election and started to woo the new conservative Democrats. Almost every appointment has been a conservative. This was brilliant because it closed out the wacko party and he didnt really need the left since they had no place to go. "Would you rather have Mittens" was the challenge to the left, instead of "I will work to save Social Security".

It's insane to think that the wealthy 1% hasnt figured out not to put all their eggs in the Wacko basket. They own a good number of Democrats.

But if you have been paying attention, you will have noticed that when you want to enhance background checks, some Democrats vote as if they are a Republican. They wont change the filibuster rule because some Democrats LIKE THE FILIBUSTER. It gets them off the hook.

So when people say that we need to elect more Democrats, sure that would be easy peasy, but it's wrong. We need more "true" Democrats that vote for Democratic values, and less Conservative Democrats that vote like a Republican.
