In reply to the discussion: Mustn't we reevaluate our party since it is is going through a right wing realignment? [View all]Dragonfli
(10,622 posts)What was once called "Moderate Republican", but with an extremely hawkish new twist.
I simply wish we had a party of the people, the party I joined and still am loyal to, rather than a right wing and extreme right wing choice of parties, neither of which I joined. So what, I am not alone, more people than you realize want a people's party rather than yet another right wing party, I am not alone wishing to reclaim it from the infiltrators
It would have been helpful had you actually read the OP, as it is a statement completely opposite your replied "misinterpretation of my words".
So you believe in fiscal right values while condescendingly trying to retain long time party allies via a more socially liberal sub-plank of your party (even if such has become largely lip service.)
So what? You are not alone, that is what Al From and Republican business leaders envisioned for the party and why they formed the DLC and later other corporate funded groups to accomplish those goals.
At least have the decency to be honest and admit that the one time heart of the party, the pre-late eighties party did not want or initiate such a realignment, it wa your buds AL From and Bill Clinton that did that. Yet oddly you accuse me of it?
Your post is dishonest at best and slanderous more likely by intent, you should self delete.
Own your Moderate Right wing beliefs rather than cower and pretend I am the one responsible for the parties newest realignment!
Others here can read and you have just outed your less than honest proclivities.
