We need a new Democratic Party

[John2]

230. I agree with

the OP. We don't need to start a new Party. I don't see the Republican Party as a partner in Democracy but they become an enemy because they threaten certain Americans' rights. I think Scalia needs to get that message. This country is divided and it was once said a divided nation cannot stand. Something has to give and the something back then was a Civil War. And I believe we are on the right side just like back then.

President Obama and officials of the Democratic Party need to do what people elected him to do. They did not elect them to follow the dictates of an extremist rightwing Party and their constituents. Rights and the pursuit of happiness are more important than submitting to some extreme Party with a gun at your head! The choice should be theirs and not ours. The Debt or Deficit doesnot concern me as much as the Republican Party and the threat to our rights as they have become. I would even go as far as to prosecute their officials for War Crimes, because they threatened the World too. They underestimate people in the Democratic Party. Our stances can harden too, because we are just as adamant about our causes. The Tea Party is not the only group can primary someone. It is not about someone's legacy, it is about the people. And I'm getting tired of people thinking they have gotten big enough thinking they can just dismiss them and do whatever they like in office. That should be a message for Hillary Clinton.
