A poll about the Democrats

[Richard]

Obviously I prefer the latter because Dixiecrats will continue supporting the Republicans.  But the former would be much better for the party.  They're the real Democrats, the Patriotic Democrats.

[Democratic Hawk]

Well, I'd subscribe to the former since I'm economically left-of-centre and centre-right on social issues

[Cashcow]

They should have left-wing social values and profess center-right economics.

[Richard]

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.

[Bono]

It would become the oposite of the current day republican party, instead of having two parties that are exactly the same on economics.

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?

Big labour is already starting to blow off the democrats(there was a thread about it somewhrere). This is like the begining of the 20th century allover again, with the wo parties swtiching positions.
Well, good, it's about time that the democrats become the good party again(lots of wishful thinking here).

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.

Except cutting taxes, what's the difference between them and the republicans?
Who gave us the medicaid drug benefit?
Who gaves us Bushocare?
what have the republicans actualy done for social security reform except paying it lip service?

What do you make of the situation in Tennessee? [Tenncare]

[minionofmidas]

A Democratic Party that is incapable of holding both groups together is incapable of winning except by tiny margins.
Of course, the same (with reverse positions) holds true for the Republicans.

[I spent the winter writing songs about getting better]

Neither.

[Frodo]

Option 1, obviously.

For who? The Democrats who are cutting health care benefits and effectively practicing a system of conservative economics or the Republicans who are trying to prevent it? Will this signify a coming trend?

And for everyone who is a true economicalç conservative who belongs in heither of the major parties.

Well, good, it's about time that the democrats become the good party again (lots of wishful thinking here).

I hope so. I still identify with the party of Cleveland, and hopefully that kind of Democrat will make a comeback. Bredesen is a very, very positive sign- the GOP is attacking him from the left on TennCare. I hope that the trend goes national.

[The Dowager Mod]

Well if we are going back to the 1890's maybe i'll join the Socialist-Labor party!

I'd be fine with that.

[A18]

Look at the internals of his job approval rating. More Republicans approve of him than Democrats.

What does center-right economics mean? I hope it's not less right-wing than the Republicans.

[danwxman]

Option 1, unfortunately.
