The days of the old democats are gone. They used to be a party for the working man, keeping corporate america at bay so that they would not become more powerful then the feds and institute their own brand of socialism - corporate america was seen as a form of government itself that needed control by the people.
Some people could understand that and relate, now they are the party of gays, minorities, enviros, immigrants, and a host of other rag tag victims looking for the proverbial free ride. The working man has been pushed aside to pander to the few and the freaks.
They once stood with america and for it, even though one may have disagreed with how. Now they stand for whatever group of freaks happens to cry the most.
Work with em? Why? They are not working for the common man anymore - they work for the freaks.
That is a very well-reasoned, succinct analysis of the past and present situation of the Democrat party. Expressed this way, it should be clear to people in the party how distorted their position has become. Thanks.

DEMONcrats view bipartisan ship from Repubs as weakness and simply a temporary ploy when offered by the Dems. The Dems see politics as a continous series of battles in a war. They are not bipartisan and never will be. The Repubs must offer the public a clear choice and difference and at the same time we will pick up the few conservative Dems that are left.
Bipartisan work can only be done when you are dealing with men of honor. The Democrat leadership is without honor.
