12. Is the democratic party leadership is inept on purpose!
Sat May 26, 2012, 04:24 PM
May 2012

I have this nagging feeling that the leadership of the democratic party is primarily made up of Third Way/DLC/semi-DINO people. And that they are, purposefully, inept in order not to allow the full effect of liberal/left-wing policies to come to the fore of the democratic party. Whenever the advantage is leaning towards the left of the political spectrum, the leadership of the democratic party somehow will fritter away the advantage one way or another. They tend to make sure that the rePIGs are not completely knockout when the tide is against the rePIGs. I can see the need to not completely eliminate right-wing politics in the governance of the country, but to allow them recovery to the extent that right-wing nuts are far more dominant of all groups - is totally absurd.
