That is exactly what Bill Clinton and the DLC told Democrats in the 80s. Of course they were right about offering solid policies as an alternative to hysteria on the left.
and then the moonbats were unhappy with Clinton.And more than a few had turned into prudish progressives and where shocked and dismayed that Bill Clinton had a loose zipper. Get a base full of people consumed moral outrage, and you will kill a party every time (see Pat Buchanan at the RNC Convention).
That's a fact, from William Jennings Bryan romantic campaign of looking bacward in 1896 to that of a Sarah Palin/Michelle Backman in 2012 doing the same thing, if my party is stupid enough to do that. And looking at the reactionary loons to our far right, we may very well do that. Every time I watch the piggy faces of Mitch McConnell or John Boehner, I realize we are not going to stand a chance this fall to gain any significant gains on the Dems and Obama.
I'd trade you a Harry Reid for a Mitch McConnell, but Harry's start has risen of late. It would have to for a Mitch and a Boehner.
No, if that's the trade, I will keep Mitch, but only because there isn't anything better in the Senate for the Republicans. And that is sad, like having a long reliever in baseball become the number one starter.
