14. The Greens are around because of Republican Lite.
Edited on Sat Oct-11-03 05:06 PM by Cascadian
Have you ever thought about that? The Democratic Party needs to come back to it's labor and socially progressive roots. If that means a modern version of FDR or Truman then so be it. The DLC which dictated this move to the supposed center, has alienated many Democrats to join the Green Party and voting for Nader. It's as if the leadership has forgotten the working class and poor. No. Don't blame Nader because of 2000, blame the DLC's misguided policies and blame Gore for choosing a milquetoast running mate.
