The Dems have only themselves to blame for the proliferation of Republicanoid zombies

64. yup, the Dem party have been wussies for a long time now, K&R

I thought that would change when Howard Dean came onto the scene, but it was only a temporary respite.

Just imagine if the Democrats actually adopted aggressive progressive and liberal rhetoric and policies, and made these concepts enter the national conversation, instead of always having the debate driven by how conservative or right wing things should be.

For instance, instead of the debate being "should every American have a right or expectation to health care?" the debate could be "how much health care and resources should every American be expected to receive as part of the pursuit of life, liberty, and the pursuit of happiness?"

The Democratic party badly needs a makeover, from top to bottom, and remade as a true progressive/liberal party. It certainly couldn't hurt, and would be a welcome change from the status quo, where each party is attempting to out flank one another on the right wing/conservative front.
