The thing that really bugs about the Dems. is that they just keep pushing their leadership further and further left. Between Obama, Reid and Pelosi, you have some of the most liberal, one-sided people in Congress and these are the people the Dems have/want for leaders. They talk about unifying the country, yet their leadership is so completely and utterly extreme left, that it's tough to believe them. The Dems don't seem to have a McCain type of person in any position of leadership. They seem to have an agenda of pushing everything left and are going to start leaving a growing portion of Americans behind them. I think that this is going to eventually leave a lot of people in the position of Pres. Reagan (and myself) when he said "I didn't leave the Democratic party, the Democratic party left me." (or something close to that). Most of your average "man-on-the-street" Democrats are newhere near as liberal as their leadership is, yet the Party keeps putting people into positions of leadership that are pushing the Dem party further and further left and are going to eventually leave their constituents with no choice but to find another party (as happened in the late '80s when the Reps. had their big resurgence based on Dems who followed in Reagan's footsteps).
