They should have left-wing social values and profess center-right economics.
That is more liberatarian than Democrat.
Yes, and since the Republicans seem to be comfortable with a turn towards populism, the Democrats should react accordingly.
The Democrats will not blow of Big Labor. The Republicans are only slightly brushing the left side of economic policy with Bush's spending binge. I don't know if that will continue. If it does, well, I don't think I'll vote Republican. I don't like populists.
The Democratic party isn't really that left on economic issues. Anyways, what Republicans are on the ballot in Canada?
No birdbrain, when I move down South to the land of the brave.
The Democrats are almost communist on the economy. Just think raising taxes, national health care, medicare, medicaid, and social security. And don't forget Nancy's "almost like God had spoken" after the 5-4 decision in Kelo where the loony left gave the government the power to take your property.
