From today's BS email: "Now they will try to move the Democratic Party even further to the right."

That line is used by a candidate in the Democratic primary in his daily "send me your money" mailing.

I don't know the Koch brothers, but I do know this: one of the most significant realities of modern politics is just how successful they have been at moving the Republican Party to the extreme right.

Now they will try to move the Democratic Party even further to the right.

The Rockefeller Republicans, also called Liberal Republicans, were members of the Republican Party (GOP) in the 1930s–1970s who held moderate to liberal views on domestic issues, similar to those of Nelson Rockefeller, Governor of New York (1959–1973) and Vice President of the United States (1974–1977).
