Take a look at the 08 races and you learn that republicans will probably lose even more seats soon. The country is going to be dominated by democrats for at least a decade. If they do well then longer. I just hope its centrist Clinton democrats. But I'm not at worried about the Dems. They don't seem as inclined to cater to the wackos in their party the way the republicans completed turned their back on America because they thought catering to the religious wackos like Trauma would be a good idea.I'm a little worried dems might have too much power soon. If they pick up the presidency and more seats in 08 they will dominant american politics like the GOP could never imagine doing. Too much power is never a good thing. The GOP just got a whiff of power and they lost their minds.
I think that this class of Dems is exactlt what this county needs right now.
As for our nuts, most of them are now green, it is now time for the Republicans to find a party for their nuts.
they are extremest,
the Dems are for higher taxes on the rich, and social government spending, the Greens want very high taxes, and very high social spending.
Also, the Dems are for environmental issues, and the Greens basically believe we should be one with mother nature. The average American can't relate. They relate more with Bill O'Reilly than they do the Greens. The Green are basically a college party, the members are future Democrats, but until they mature and realize the real world wouldn't support many issues they stand by, they have the Greens. The Republicans are a right wing party, but there are many people that are not on the level of a Pat Buchanan, those who are trying to basically cut the government to just the military and the post office, have privitazed police, a volenteer fire fighting force, and bringing family values to be run by the Christian churches. The average American can't relate, but this is who the extreme right wingers are. But instead of them having their own party, they vote Republican, and so we have Bush who tried to appeal to them, and the average American. What ends up happening is a Republican president then has to justify a war by claiming God told him to do it. A Green is not a Democrat, and Buchanan is not a modern Republican.
My main thing was that, yes the Greens are not mainstream, and there are far left, but the biggest thing is that they take away voters from the Democrats. This is not bad, but I think that the right needs their own party, one that takes out their far right wing people. This way we can have more balence of power, along with some areas like the Bay area who would vote Green, and have areas in the south that will vote extreme right, and those parties would have some greater influence.
