Al Sharpton: Still crazy... after all these years
Actually, he's very close to making a very good point. Just because leftism is wrong, doesn't mean you can't build a powerful party with it. When the Democrats left their leftism behind, they lost their soul.
Where Sharpton is wrong is not that the D's left for Centrism, but because they left for Clinton.
Clinton killed the Democrat party because he used it as a form of masturbation -- politics, like everything he does, is a means for self-gratification.
The democrats, sensing a winner, were happy to tag along. They realized only too late that Clinton sees politics as an extension of his sex life, and in that they were no different from Monica Lewinsky.
Well, from Sharpton's vantage point on the hard Left, Clinton probably did seem too conservative. Just as, for some on the hard Right, Dubya seems too liberal. All depends on where one stands on the political spectrum.
I fear I'll do some damage One fine day But I would not be convicted By a jury of my peers
Not the Democrats, anyhow
