Wake up technomage...the long term goal is to become the Democratic Party of the last 60 years while (after the purge of the far left in the DNC) the Dems become the Republican Party of the last 60 years.

And since time moves much faster today, it won't take 60 years to take over again. Once all the old, FDR loving farts are dead, the Hillary wing will take the young with them and move centrism back into the majority and, get this, actually ATTACK the GOP as fiscally irresponsible, pork barrel addicted, unaccountable bureaucrats, etc.

And, of course, the GOP will just stock up on KY jelly and just beg them to use a condom...again.

Fantastic point.

One of the things I was meaning to do today was to see which D Senators voted against CFR.

I'd say that is one HELL of an easy way to appear principled in an election year - come out and say that your opponent voted for the Incumbent Protection ACT and gutted the 1st Amendment.

I could use that as the basis of saying that if he/she was willing to gut the first, then if you love your gun, vote for me because I'll fight to protect the 2nd, 4th, and 5th.

This is GWB's 'Read my lips' moment. He promised not to vote for it in the election, did it anyway, and then had the thing turned to granite tablet law by the monkeys on the SCOTUS.
