Would you agree that there is not much of a center Left presence in the Democratic Party?

George Sorros and moveon.org have deffinately started to sink their claws into Pelosi and Reid.
But not all are infected. Liberman is a good example.

Absolutely not. The Democrats have moved right, trying to pander to the Republicans who call them too liberal. Hillary was a Goldwater Republican and in many ways, still is. But, like Hitler calling the Nazi "Socialist" Party, when in fact they kicked the Socialist out and he was far Right, not left, people fell for it them and fall for it now.
whether it is a democracy, or a fascist dictatorship, or a parliament, or a communist dictatorship. Voice or no voice, the people can always be brought to the bidding of the leaders. All you have to do is tell them they are being attacked, and denounce the peacemakers for lack of patriotism and exposing the country to danger. IT WORKS THE SAME IN ANY COUNTRY."

not really, only the ones that think family and childern should be protected get label as Communist/socialist. The Dem have thier greed people also, sometime you have to look close to see the truth about both Dem and Rep. Rep are not bad people for the most part just misguided. They think that they can control family and poeple. They think that saying something is wrong will make it stop. That doesn't even work on little kids. Dem on the other hand can sometimes reason to much, that is were they are weak. They let poeple be free to make thier own mistakes. Not like th Rep who only want things thier way. You can not be right if you are different think is not my cup of tea so to speak.

No, I think that is republican propaganda. The only ones who thing the communists or socialists have taken over the party are people who listen to others talk but don't research ideas on their own.

No, I think there are a lot of them but they are getting the craps of the right wing nut jobs which make the democratic party stick out like sore thumbs.
Both parties need to rehabilitate their images and the lines need to be redefined, with a third party added.

No, actually the Democratic party has moved much more toward the center when compared with the 1960s, 70s, and 80s. When one is on the extreme right (nearly fascist) anything to the left seems very liberal.

No I do not but I really do not have the time right now to go into it. I have a test in Great religions of the World that I must study for, but I will converse with you some other time.

No.
but i can certainly see why you would think that way. when people like you move as far to the right as you have, everyone else appears to have moved to the left, even though they haven't moved anywhere.
Pretty much the reason why more moderate conservatives, are being denounced as liberals.

No not in the least. They're just the loudest. And most of the democratic politicians republicans refer to as socialist/communist are extremely far from being such.

nope.
i disagree with your statement completely.
but i understand that cons want to create this perception, basically because they have run out of qualified candidates to run for office.
hey cons - wouldn't life be much easier if you just got articulate, candidates with just a little integrity?
it sure seems like it would be a lot easier...
