Democrats lost their way a decade ago and now the leaderless agendaless mob depends on Alinsky for direction.
I'm afraid that's not far off.Democrats lost their way a decade ago and now the leaderless agendaless mob depends on Alinsky for direction.

Whitehall and Mac, your reasoning as to the Democrats losing their way, is exactly why a large % of Republicans (including myself) used to be Democrats! Most of the people running the Democratic party, have zero resemblance to Democrats of old. That is NOT to say that Democrats in modern times never had a FAR LEFT wing; but it is to say they exerted little pressure on the party. Today, they control the party, and have left the American reservation, attempting to drag as many people with them as they can.
To know what a Democrat really was before, you only need look at history. Clinton was a Democrat, and how much did his economic ideas resemble the far lefts economic ideas of today? You can claim it was Gingrich, or give Bill Clinton all the credit if you wish, but how this country was governed under his Presidency, is NOTHING like what Obama did, or the left wants to do today!
The Democrats were GREAT at one time! Oh, they had their crappy Presidents like FDR (as far as economics) and Wilson, (since he was basically a Socialist/racist) but most of the STAYED on the reservation.
Here, look at these policies in a 4 minute video. A Democrat made these policies, and they were very good! Do they have any resemblance WHATSOEVER of todays far left Democrats?
Now you know why many of us USED to be Democrats, and no longer are!
I may be spitting in the wind here, but I want to believe that there will be a backlash, and that the Regressives will ultimately be marginalized on the Left. Look what they have done to their party, nationally, in just 10 years. You can't make this up.
The Democratic Party is in desperate need of Reformation. Just like Islam.
Interesting coincidence there, no?

No... You do realize that most muslims and devote islamists are conservative right?
