The Democratic Party and The Three Bears..

[kentuck]

The old story about Papa Bear, Mama Bear, and Baby Bear tasting the porridge. One thought it was too hot. One thought it was too cold. And one thought it was just right.

After the election, we will see Democrats discussing the Party in a similar manner...

1. but what about

the bed and the chair?

I don't think you can make a "blanket statement". On some things - definitely "too conservative"- and by that *I* mean too conservative in process.

On some things, I think they're liberal (though not too liberal). - and again, I think even though philosophically they're "more liberal", they're too conservative in trying to make that happen!

If I had to pick, I'd say they were more "moderate". Now I'd personally prefer a bit more liberal, but I can deal with moderate over conservative any day.

2. They are too 'conservative' AND too 'moderate' which are essentially the same thing.

The new 'moderate' position is to the right of Reagan - it's insane and unacceptable for a Dem administration.
