Can you be pro-Republican Economics and still be considered a Democrat?

24. There has been an infiltration and deliberate corruption of the party.

The giveaway is that the rise of the neoDems/Third Way types has never been a grass roots phenomenon. It has *always* been an orchestrated, well-funded, and aggressively marketed movement of policy and propaganda, backed by corporate elites focused on consolidating their own power.

Take a look at the donation records of the neoDems in Congress and the funding of neoDemocratic think tanks. And when you have bundles of corporate cash, you can pay for the slickest messaging available.

But we can see by the current state of Washington and our media that it has been considered well worth the investment.

No, they aren't Democrats in the way most people think of Democrats. The deception is a big part of what makes the movement so pernicious. If they came out and said what they stood for, people could make a decision as to whether this party was for them, and perhaps they would demand its reform. As it stands now, neoDemocrats remain in the unholy position of claiming to stand for traditional Democratic values, while aggressively promoting policies that are in diametric opposition.
