Reply #10: Of course it's not your fault...

...and I never would suggest such a thing. We should always blame the Republicans for our own actions. Critical thinking and introspection should be outlawed.

Clinton isn't the root of the party's ills...unless you happen to think that moderation in response to despotism is a bad thing. Haven't you heard? Everything has changed.

Clintonism is to blame. It's the 'third way' politics that has harmed the party and encouraged it not to stand for anything that may look 'extreme' to the opposition. Read the linked article and while you're there...browse around and witness the mediocrity of moderation.

Notice that the party has followed the Clinton DLC's politics ever since 2000. Haven't you even wondered why they've been silent or have conceded on so many issues? It's the Third Way of not only riding the fence on every issue...but to disavow the existance of Bush WH criminality, election fraud or a phony war on terrorism fought in Iraq. They consider the truth of these issues to be extreme.
