I hate to break it to people like “red_gti2000,” but the Democratic Party has been dead for quite some time – or have you missed the past 7 years of GWB and (until the 2006 election) the lengthy Republican domination of Congress? Perhaps what Democrats need is a break from “your parent’s Democratic Party.” Perhaps what Democrats need is some fresh blood and new ideas. Remember, “The Clinton Center” is what facilitated the rise of the neocons and the Republican takeover of Congress in the early 1990’s – the appeasement approach of the Clinton administration (and the entire DLC) didn’t work. It’s time to look forward and remake the Democratic Party into something that can enact and sustain real change – hopefully all of your race-baiting and rabble rousing for John McCain will fall on deaf ears. If you can’t get on board with the changes this country so desperately needs, kindly step aside. It’s a new day.
