re: Why democrats?

After all the old traditional democrats died off and or have gotten real old practically all the people I know who ID as democrats or real liberals are a collection of these:

* Misfits.

* People with issues.

* Gays and lesbians.

* People who feel life has mistreated them such as brothers of really successful business people. Many of these who feel mistreated went to work for the government.

* Speaking of which...government employees.

* Union members.

* School teachers. And yes they are members of the teacher's union.

* Minorities.
