re: #448 Ojoe

If the GOP are a right wing party - and i doubt that in the traditional sense - it’s a corporatist/religious/conservative/radical/hodge podge… you will need something that fits as a Leftist party. Mainstream democrats - those pushed on the teevee box and radio are not as far left as the GOP has gone far right.

The Democratic Party is not being run by Kuciniches Obama’s administration of Geithner/Gates and Clinton are arch-managers in their approach - not doctrinaire.

All nations need more than two parties- the plurality of opinion is just not available to be expressed in two.

(Rub Along/Relative)Social Liberal/Fiscal COnservative (old schoool managerial Patrician/One Nation type Republicanism)

Social Liberal/Economic Leftist (Democratic base)

Social Conservative/Economic Leftist (Reformed Religious types - who don’t believe Jesus supported Enron)

Social Conservative/Economic Conservative (current GOP base)
