"Moreover, the Democrat party is so far out beyond left field now."
No, if you read of the working class in the late 19th Century and early 20th Century in the states, you would see that the Democrat party is not "left" in the least. The Democrat party is not advocating a socialist/communist revolution, like the various Socialist and Communist parties were. These parties gained a fair % of the votes in the early 1900's in the US presidential elections.
A critical analysis shows that Bill Clinton, president from 1992-2000, capitulated to the right, and made many concessions toward the right! In fact, Unions, Socialized Medicine, etc. are barely, if at all, spoken of by the Democrats!
Simply listen to what Kerry said...he was as hawkish, if not more so, than Bush on Iraq, and more so on Afghanistan. This is NOT "far beyond left field", this is centrist or right-center field, my friend.

Grace is not common.
