to help this country. What I don't understand is why there are people who are pressing the point that more conservative values are best when during the last eight years, they've hurt us economically, socially and internationally. I think it would be a grave disservice to alienate the true left for the sake of kissing the ring of the Republicans once again. Aren't the Democrats sick of rolling over and playing dead whenever it comes to the Republicans forcing their hand.

Doesn't it cross the minds of some Democrats, that the Republicans spent their time systematically dismantling the New Deal and other democratic policies? So why would the Dems throw their support towards centrists, corporatists and moderate Republicans who don't have the best interests of the people at heart?
