Reply #9: Democrat I am sure.

[K-W]

The democrats we have in office are the survivors of the right wing assualt on the liberal dems put in office during the political fallout of the justice movements of several decades ago.

So we have an entire party of political survivors deathly afraid of being purged like so many on the left have in the past now that it doesnt seem that liberal populism is strong enough to fight back. We are still in the political mold of the reagan revolution, gingrich revolution and Clinton presidency. Republicans have the money and the message with growing popular support while the democrats who have survived and even succeeded have been moderates.

The answer is simple. We need to put into office a new generation of democrats who we can then shield from the dirty tricks that have always been used to keep true populism out of our government.

We need to define the next American political war, just as the right has defined this one.
