Reply #7: We need to build a coalition

This is from Bob Burnett posting on Huffington Post:

The Democratic Party is pretty unruly assemblage composed of a wide-variety of interest groups: identity groups such as feminists, GLBT activists, and racial and ethnic minorities; environmentalists; labor unions; anti-war activists; groups that are concerned about economic issues such as globalization and the rising power of multinational corporations; and special interests, such as crazies who believe that everyone has the right to adequate healthcare. If you came from another planet, such as France, and studied the two Parties, you might conclude that Republicans are like cows--totally willing to line up to be milked--and Democrats are like cats--always going their own way.
