What good is a conservative Democrat?

[tinanator]

Arent they just taking up space in what is meant to be an opposition party?

[PDittie]

1. I dunno...

How many electoral votes does the South have again?

[reprehensor]

5. 5th Column.

Remember, neo-conservatism has little to do with traditional fiscal conservatives. Just read what Pat Buchanan has been writing lately. True fiscal conservatives can be useful for 5th column activity, exposing the shittiness of the neo-con Imperialist doctrine.

America was established after a violent revolution under Imperial England. Apparently the lesson didn't take, otherwise the US wouldn't be hurriedly invading Central Asia/Middle East to spread hypocrisy.

I mean democracy.

6. the South is monolithically conservative?

I hope the liberals living in Atlanta know this!

[reprehensor]

9. I think PDittie meant...

Monotheistically conservative.

[La_Serpiente]

2. I do not mind the conservatives like

Breaux, Baucus, etc. However, I do not like the ones like Zell Miller.

The difference? Breaux and Baucus don't vote for tax cuts all of the time and more or less support the working man (at least better than if Republicans were in their seats).

Zell Miller is just a corporate Republican.

3. I Give Up...

Let's purge the DINOS from the party, let's write off the south, let's institute Leninist party like discipline and democratic centralism and let's content ourselves with less than thirty percent of the popular vote....

Then we will be a true opposition party....

4. The idea of a conservative democrat

is okay. The Democratic Party must be an all inclusive party to become a power in this country and that means that it must come from both sides of the political spectrum. Unlike the Republicans, we can have both sides of the abortion debate. We can have different ideologies on the economy. It can only be good when you are all inclusive.

[reprehensor]

7. Yeah.

What he said.

Democrats are 'tolerant'. It's just that the neo-cons have been playing everyone like violins these days.

8. How do you define conservative democrat

If you aren't one? DO you consider conservative democrats "the enemy"?

[Bronco69]

10. As a matter of fact

I consider ANY conservative the enemy!!

[Beer Snob-50]

13. The defination of conservative

has been skewed by the right. I conservative is one who wants the status quo while a liberal belives in change.

[leftynyc]

11. I describe myself as a liberal to anyone who asks

however, I am on the "conservative" side of issues such as gun control. Do you want to throw me out of the party?

[Skinner]

12. This is just inflammatory.

I'm locking.
