Do 'Conservative Democrats' want the 'Far Left' to leave the party?

Edited on Fri Oct-31-03 09:04 AM by Q
- In thread after thread we've seen numerous posts where 'conservative' Democrats complain about 'liberals' and trash anyone to the left of them. They call them everything from 'far left' to radicals to extremists and accuse them of destroying the party with their 'out of touch' politics.

- We hear the same thing from the DLC and other conservative Democrats.

- Would they be happier if we simply left the party? Is that what they want? I ask because many on the left are beginning to feel they're not welcome in the New Democratic party.

- If the Democratic party needs 'all the votes they can get' to defeat Bush*....why are the conservative Democrats trying to purge liberals, stifle their voices and keep them from leadership roles in the party of the 'big tent'?

- Well?
