Which party will experience civil war first, the repubs or the dems?

[UpsideDownFlag]

after this election, i could see it going either way- but im leaning towards the pubes. both sides are experiences tension between the moderates and 'fringe' segments, tho.

1. Maybe both and we'll get a 3rd party of reasonable thinkers

[UpsideDownFlag]

3. it'd be nice to see a mult-party system.

a friend of mine who lives in GB was telling be that very few people over there feel 'unrepresented'- you've got labor party, socialists, torries, whatever.

2. It has already started on both sides,

the parties are not in control, the money is.

4. it's already happening to the repugs...

look at McCain, and Specter. The deficit hawks are already starting to scream. The Repugnant party is heading for a major split. I think the Dems SHOULD "reach out"... to the Repug moderates. They should be ready to listen soon.

5. OK,,, ??? another BBV

I voted one way and it came up the opposite !!!!
Deja Vu (CSNY-yea):argh:

[UpsideDownFlag]

7. that's the first time i've heard of it happening.

stick around.

[DeepGreen]

8. Probably timing,,,

Another vote came in at the same time or, a few seconds before, or after or,,, I am confused !

19. Hi DeepGreen!!

Welcome to DU!! :toast:

[forgethell]

6. The Dems are already there,

I do not foresee ahappy 2006 or 2008, now that we no longer have * to run against.

[DirtyDog]

9. Well..Lets see

We have no clear leader and we will become nothing more than the obstructionist party in congress. Which way will we go, left? Right? Do you want to win back the power or become an irrelevant party?

10. The Repugs don't have civil wars, just pogroms and mass executions

It may be on between the accomodationists like Lieberman and reformers like Dean in the Dem party.

11. I've had thoughts of going Green but still voting

for the Dem president and any Dems where there is no Green. I really identify with the Green party although I took a test and am still predominately a Dem.

I think I'll always be a Dem at heart but I feel like we are moving too far right concerning the DLC's view of foreign policy. I am anti-globalization and the Dem party just keeps wanting to go that way and without fair labor and environmental laws. These issues should not be negotiable.

However, in the next 4 years I foresee a big split in the Republican party. They just can't keep spending like that and keep going too far right or they will lose many.

13. Goose-Stepping Comes Naturally to the Republicans

They all follow the leader in the end. :-(
We cannot expect any breaking of ranks among the Republicans,
though we should do all we can to encourage it. Maybe we'll get lucky.

Not likely though. Everyone knows that the Dominion owns the voting machinez,
and though nobody will admit it, everyone knows what they did to the election,
so they'll play along with them, no matter what :-( :-( :-(
There are only a handful of moderates left in the party anyway.
The Dominion is already in complete control of the House, and they are
only a few votes away from control of the Senate.
Shrub is with them, and they only need a couple of Supreme Court justices.

Our freedom hangs by a thread.

14. The repukes are not the only ones guilty of goose-stepping

Wasn't Medea Benjamin, a delegate to the 2004 Democratic Convention, forcibly removed from the convention floor when she dared to unfurl an antiwar banner?

[AndyTiedye]

17. That Wasn't So Much Goose-Stepping as Running Scared

[leftofthedial]

15. it couldn't be the Dems

since we were never united to start with.

[fujiyama]

18. LOL

Sad but true.

I'd go with democrats, but the national party is virtually collapsing. When you have control of no branch of government and when you see no control in site for years to come (and forgot '06)...you know there's a problem.

The republican party is pretty much lock and step. They'll purge the few remaining moderates they have left.
