Of course, many of the Democrats just elected are Democrats in name only, being in some cases farther to the right then the Republicans they replaced.

Michael: Jodie, how's my schedule look for today? Jodie: You've got a conference and dinner party at the Japanese Embassy regarding wildlife protection. Michael: Oh, yeah...sorry, but I'll have to cancel that. I'm heading out to save America!
that's the problem with a two-party system - it's easily as bad as a one-party system, just the bad part takes longer to develop. Is there a liberal party that was electable at all in the US ?
Call me cynical, but I think this country's political party system only proves that there is more than one way to hell. Not that I could come up with anything better.
carefully re-reading previous posts here leads me to the conclusion that while the Democratic party is actually liberal, many (or some) of their elected officials do not follow what the party should be.
i belive that MOST of our officials start out with good intentions but somewhere along the way they fall because to few (that are in postions of athority) will stand in what they belive now of days. its a lose of backbone some say as for zombies ? "Is there a liberal party that was electable at all in the US?" there is and it has gotten more votes every year, but not so many that the Democrats or the Republicans see a threat in it to need to change there ways. i really dont care for politics personaly because all you do is choose the lesser or the two evils at the time.
