How I dearly WISH the Democratic Party WAS leftist. Actually, Fancy's question is FAR more to the point: if you are NOT a HardRight extremist, why on earth would you vote Republican at this time? Lots of conservatives and centrists AND the few ever-hopeful leftists are voting Democratic and serving as Democratic officeholders. How many liberal Republicans are in office on the national level right now? Or even center-left? GENUINE centrist?


The modern Republican Party is by far the most homogenous political group in American political history. "Leftists". {chuckle.... as if}
