Traditional Democrats ain't the ones who hijacked the Party's message or betrayed the values of Party. They always were the Party. Duh.

4. "weeping may endure for a night, but joy cometh in the morning."

from Psalms 30:5, KJV

The person with whom I most love to discuss politics is a Democrat who is to my right politically and way above me intellectually.

During a conversation a few years ago, I was feeling down about where the Party had gone. He assured me the pendulum would swing back because, according to him, it always does. I am starting to see signs that make me think he was correct, as usual.

9. K&R all over the place

The standard reply by third-wayers is the left is trying to hijack the party. I find that funny since they started their organization with the sole purpose of moving the party to the right. So why deny it? Shouldn't they be proud of themselves and take a bow?
