in its quest to destroy the core values of the democratic party. The values that actually made a real difference in public policy & gov't spending. Now the dems are just as anti-labor, anti-choice, etc. as the repukes. We effectively have a one party state with 2 factions that now really don't differ significantly.

Silly me, sometimes I forget that it has always been this way - historian & elite insider Carroll Quigley said as much in his book Tragedy & Hope, the money quote being: "The argument that the two parties should represent opposed ideals and policies, one, perhaps, of the Right and the other of the Left, is a foolish idea acceptable only to the doctrinaire and academic thinkers... ...Instead, the two parties should be almost identical so that the American people can 'throw the rascals out' at any election without leading to any profound or extreme shifts in policy." - Carroll Quigley Tragedy & Hope, p. 1247

I'm going to post a video that has this & other Quigley info in the video forum. Here's the link: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=IRkCvubUGCM
