These bizzare boogeymen, the

P:
In your words, that "small faction" of the party that
are "liberal intellectuals" that establish the "liberal
policies." There is nothing nefarious about it. I
already told you that I valued them and their role...
remember?
And David, do you really think that the elites (leaders
or policy makers if the first term scares you too much)
of both parties/ideologies are benevolent and pure?
If not, get off your high horse and admit that we said
the same thing.

are only a small faction within that party. The vast
majority of Democrats
are members because they benefit from liberal policies
and their affiliation
is often only a matter of self-interest.>>
