Which branch of the Democrat party is more to blame for its failures?

[Jake]

Simply put, what was the George McGovern wing, that turned into the Mondale wing that shifted to back Dukakis and then turned into the Kennedy wing until Michael Moore opened up. Now it can be referred to as the Cindy Sheehan wing. These people drive Americans away with their hyper-partisan, extreme anti-war stances and those that preach unfetteref abortion rights, radical social revolution, and that criminals should be treated better than a fetus simply make it worse. Some Democrats have simply kicked the party left on key cultural issues and have caused the Democrats to be known as the abortion party or the anti-war party. Whether that's a fair depiction, I don't know. It's what Americans think though.
