maybe gain a few. But they are so far to the left on family values, taxing and foreign polocy they can expect to loose votes in a major way next time around
Actually, as far as I'm concerned, the Democrats are to the Right of Republicans on social policy and foreign policy. After all, it isn't the Democrats that advocate government intervention in society and in foreign affairs.
Actually I understand what you are saying from a libertarian prespective. The DemocRAT party does try to control every aspect of our lives with nanny state regulations. That's pretty fascist your right. But overall they are such economic leftists in addition to being anti life and anti family that you pretty much have to lump them in with the extreme left.
You make a very good point though. In fact I would consider becoming a libertarian if they werent so strongly pro drugs and pro abortion. I just wish the Constitution party gets a foothold. Until it does I will have to be satesfied with being a republican.
