Hillary Fundraiser In McCain Camp

It looks like the leftist wing of the Democratic Party is starting to tick off the centrists.

"I believe that Barack Obama, with MoveOn.org and Nancy Pelosi and Howard Dean, has taken the Democratic Party — and they will continue to — too far to the left," Lynn Forester de Rothschild said. "I'm not comfortable there."

I have to agree with Lynn Forester de Rothschild that the Far Left of the Democratic Party is what turns me off the most about them. They seem to look down on the majority of Americans that they want to "help." They are also very defeatist when it comes to dealing with the world. Instead of pushing for American leadership they are welcome to cede it to the Chinese. If you think Guantanamo is bad the Chinese still have a Gulag-like system in place. I'm pretty sure no one is praying to Mecca or able to read the Koran in a Chinese Laogai.

Also the Chinese have cracked down on political dissent in Tibet and are about the only country that support the repressive regimes in the Sudan and Myanmar. The Chinese have come a long way but sometimes people forget that they are still a Communist system where a Chinese version of MoveOn.org or Code Pink would not be tolerated and their leaders would be jailed and reeducated in a minute.

I would love a return of the Dems to a JFK stance. He advocated a strong US hand in the world. He wanted intervention in other countries when it was in the US interest to do so. He also knew who the enemy was at the time (Communism) and was strong enough to confront it. He also basically believed in the the American people and did not have contempt toward them.
