I don't believe it

It gets even more confusing when you realize that there isn't a consensus among democrats. We don't agree - which is why the party is having trouble winning elections lately. Clinton was a moderate. The liberals didn't agree with him and the far right hated him. Lieberman is a conservative dem. Look what happened to him this week. There doesn't seem to be a place in the Democrat party for us "common sense" folks anymore.

I think that the republican party is also moving in that direction. To be honest, it is getting harder and harder to see unity in our politicians no matter what party they belong to.

The problem is that "moderates" don't really serve the best interest's of the entities with money. The ability to please the power holders, and make the public buy it, is strictly the art of the politician. There are many agendas out there, and a lot of money available to push those agendas. A lot of money changes hands for favors done. It's to be expected.

Show me a modern president who came out of the oval office poorer than he went in, regardless of the economic situation. I'm guessing it will be tough.
