108. Fighting?
Edited on Mon Jul-11-11 05:02 PM by ProSense
It was simply bizarre.

"Do you agree or disagree that the Dem Party has become more conservative in the last thirty years?"

Of course, going back to the Clinton years, Obama has reversed or is making progress toward reversing/improving 1990s policies, including DOMA, DADT, Glass-Steagall repeal (implemenatation of the Volcker Rule), trade and more are signs that the party is more conservative.

More Senators supporting marriage equality is definitely more conservative than say 1990.

More pro labor Senators is to the right of the party in the 1980s.

The Democratic Party isn't more conservative. It's that the Republicans have been testing the electorate with every right wing policy they can advance. Keep electing them and Democrats have to deal with them.

Do you think there would be a big debate about the debt ceiling with Nancy Pelosi as Speaker?

Americans gave us a GOP controlled House and Speaker Boehner. That's the reality.

Where have all the Presidents that were left of Obama gone: Nixon, Carter, Reagan, Bush, Clinton, Bush?

I miss them!!!!
