Reply #8: I'm not worried about Lieberman -- I just think its becoming obvious [View All]

that the left-wing is much more interested in shrinking the party by purging any Democrat who strays from their narrow orthodoxy than they are in growing the party enough to regain the White House and control of Congress.

Honestly, if the left-wing things that Lieberman is the biggest through to the Democratic Party, than they truly are the idiots they appear to be.

You know, back in 1968, a lot of left wingers considered Hubert Humphrey to be unacceptable. We got eight years of Nixon instead.

In 1980, a lot of left wingers considered Carter to be unacceptable. We got either years of Reagan instead.

Sorry, but I just don't see the evidence that these left-wing initiated purges are good for the party, or for liberalism generally.
