"The Republican Party can still be reformed from within, the Democrats have passed the point of no return."

Since the early 90s, I have regarded the Democrats as a quasi-criminal enterprise, akin to the Mafia. Just look at the conduct of most of their members. To be fair, the Democrats weren't always so. Zell Miller, Patrick Moynihan, and some others were the last of a breed that gave respectibility to the Democrat party.

The scary part is with respect to the attempt of the Rockefeller Republicans to turn the Republican party into a caricature of what it was once regarded--a bunch of chubby dudes in suits smoking cigars in a backroom looking to stick it to the average person.
I would not be surprised, as some others have noted, if a populist party does raise in the US--nature abhors a vacuum.
Side note: re: my post 168 with respect to the conduct of certain individuals and the intervening posts. Your honor, the evidence is overwhelming. I rest my case.
