It's Happydale for the Democrats

Excellent!

And you didn't even mention "the party of abortion on demand" or "no school vouchers".

Is Terry MCAuliffe the Peter Lorre character in your scenario?

Appropriate. In my more cynical mood, it seems more like the plant in the Little Shop of Horrors...

A lot of people do not realize that the Democrat party has changed. It is no longer the party of Jack and Bobby. It is now the party of Teddy. Compare Jack and Teddy's response to ocean-based incidents and you'll see a clear difference.

I'm glad I figured it out realatively early in life. (age 22).

People still clinging to the glory days of the Democrat party remind me of the guy at the high school reunion still wearing his letterman's jacket.

If the Democrats are not careful they will go the way of the Whigs. What, you don't remember the party of William Henry Harrison and Zachary Taylor? My point exactly.

Wonderful Gerard,

Like you I'm a Dem who found himself in a room with a bunch of crazy people shouting "it's all about oil," who seized on the mistakes inevitable to momentous events as signs of conspiracy, etc. I backed out of the room, not slowly but fast, and I've stayed out. I too shake my head and wonder what happened to this group of people not without talent and the capacity to dream. I can only conclude that G.W. Bush stoled their thunder. He stands for freedom and liberation and for quashing the forces of darkness. The Dems would rather throw in with the forces of darkness than admit how much W has done them the better.

the democrats are becoming more and more unhinged, as all of their old plays lose their effectiveness. i don't think most people expect genuine morality from their politicians, but they do expect a basic level of competence. and this is the fundamental problem for democrats -- they are grotesquely incompetent. if anyone can identify a place where democrats are doing a good job, please do so. the recent ejection of two derelict govenors (cali and nj) are good examples of what i am talking about. look at two of the institutions where democrats still hold sway: govt employees and teachers unions...not exactly exemplars of quality. sometimes i listen to this hard-left radio station (kpfk?) for grins; the sheer amateurishness of it is appalling. the palpable air of superiority, by guests and staff, is what makes it so funny to listen to. this same phenomena occurred with the hitler youth; they were so useless and so insufferably self-righteous, that the other nazis complained about them. a neat trick if you think about it :)
