I'll stay over here. That's what THEY (Republicans) did to the Democratic Party with their DLC (Democratic Leadership "Conference", or was it "Committee?&quot and stole 25-30 years of our lives from us. 25-30 years of a lie. It's rough learning that you've been duped all that time. Anyway, I would love to see it done to the Republican Party.
