Sen. John F. Kerry told state legislators Friday the Democratic Party doesn't need to undergo an extreme makeover, saying "the last thing America needs is a second Republican Party."
Kerry is correct - there is no benefit for the democratic party (as a unit) to align their message closer to republicans. Additionally, and thankfully, nothing good will result with a further slide to the left. With Europe as the sandbox for a more advanced socialism, why should we follow suit when the outcome of statism is clear? Americans are not blind. Democrats can't change their message - the party is dead (not that republicanism is alive and kicking either).
The 21st century is about decentralization. The political party model, which relies on restricting the rights of one or more "groups" in order to benefit a select few can not survive in an era where the individual has more power than the group.

You really think they are dying off?
they don't give a shit? I hope they do give a shit. The republican party is recreating the pharisees where of thinking and laws.
"Let's law all freedoms and civil liberties away" "Let's control the masses by an avalanche of THOU SHALT NOTS".
The New London vs. Kelo case will certainly cause trouble for the Democratic Party. SCOTUS would not overturn the "right" of governments to take property from one private owner to give to another. Do you see people marching in the street saying "Please take my house and build a shooping center there!" Of course, is the GOP smart enough to cash in. Stay tuned...
New London, that is my wife's hometown, the area in question is just down the street from where her family lives.
It is truly sad....
