Does anybody else suspect we haven't had a president...

...who was truly democratic since Carter????Bill Clinton spends time with Bush the 1st while being "the Democrat who moved us toward the Right"???How about this-a democrat supports labor,and regulation,and a social safety net?How about the concept that deregulation has failed?Or that supposed free market capitalism is a sham?That Ford Motors is approaching the government, for that which we dare not call a bail-out but will cost us billions? Apparently,none dare call it treason (nor wealth transfer,nor vivisection of the carcass of the middle class).I believe that what we have is an almost unbroken string of either republican or republican approved candidates since Johnson..who only got in on a sympathy vote....the sole anomaly came in the wake of the Nixon debacle and he was one termed due to republican dirty tricks...Clinton,a supposed "democrat" was at BEST a centrist or "republican light".So for forty years,less the Carter aberration,they have run it and ruined it....I deeply wish we could find a democratic candidate who would run as a centrist and then rebuild the middle class...with eight years I believe we could show the country the difference...
