Democrats Invent "Tea Party".....

....the Repubs have become unhinged over the years because the Democrats have been moving ever to the Right, taking over what used to be Republican ideas...as for instance Obamacare, a copy of Romneycare....Bill Clinton vowed to hire even more police than his republican opponent...and on taxes, welfare and especially foreign policy, the Democrats have been taking over Republican issues slowly but surely as a way of getting that "center" part of the national vote....no other way could they have won national elections except by BECOMING neo-Republicans.

And that's what forced the Right of the Republicans off the deep end...they got shoved off by the stampede of Democrats to center-Left Republican positions...had they not moved farther to the Right there would eventually have been no need for a Republican party because the Democrats would have swallowed it up.

This has been the long-range strategy of the Democrats...their way of becoming popular, as they saw it....they dumped liberal and progressive ideas long ago in favor of winning....with probably some vague notions of "doing the right thing" once in power...but once in power, and knowing how you got there, it's awfully hard to then put on your Progressive suit, which could lose you your newly-won office...and so the Democratic move to the Right is the new reality....and it's worked...the extreme wing of the Republicans are increasingly un-electable, nationally, and may soon be that way in the States as well...and then we'll all cheer because Democratic "principles" will have won out...only they aren't Democratic at all...they're warmed-over Republican positions adopted by Democrats as a way to appeal to confused-as-hell voters.

The Republicans developed their "Southern Strategy" as a way of taking over the once-Democratic South...and the Democrats developed a "Republican-clone Strategy" as their way of fracturing the Republicans...and we, we lose every which way because these guys are all out for themselves, not us.
