Many different Democratic Parties--
http://www.nas.com/beddill/whichparty.shtml

There is the Democratic Party of the neocons - who "know" that corporations are and should be in charge -- and profit is the sole measure of success in business and their politics. There are corporate people in the national, state and local party, but I am not Corporate, and the Democratic Party of the neocons is not my party.

There is the Democratic Party of Principles and the Platform, who "know" that there are values which define what is important for the community, and that define the way things ought to be in order to bring a satisfactory life for everyone and a community and world in balance, for seven generations or more. But proposals founded on principles and values compete weakly against the power of immediate gratification, and struggle for the scarce resources which is almost always the case, so they are a small Party which rarely seems to have much impact - and attracts few members from those others who want it all, now, for themselves.

1. But, you see, we can't use that as a measure in considering
the Chair, since it is all about raising money and getting out the message...

But what if the message and money is from "the Democratic Party of neocons"?
