In reply to the discussion: Chris Christie Hits Back At Rand Paul Remark On Sandy Aid [View all]Blue Silent Majority
(4 posts)57. I don't want a Republican either.
The Republican party in in its current "bat-shit crazy" state is not sustainable. Inevitably the two parties will realign, I was just offering a possible path to realignment. I think there are a lot of people on DU (I've lurked here for a while) would love to see a more progressive Democratic Party.
Look at it this way. If we were to get say, single payer healthcare, a living wage and a tax system that's actually fair for the poor and the middle class would you care what party was in control of the House or the Senate when each bill passed? Would you care if the President was a Democrat, Republican or a Whig as long as he/she signed those bills into law?
