Now reflect that in the late 30's and up until after the attack on Pearl Harbor, the Republicans were a bunch of head in the sand isolationists at best and Nazi sympathizers, led by Charles Lindberg, at worst. It was Democrats who stood up for this country and the world, declaring that they were willing to pay the price that history demanded of them.
In the leadup to the war, President Roosevelt risked sure impeachment and conviction if his actions to import the British secret service and half of their government into the United States was ever discovered. Churchill was able to prevent Britain from throwing in with the Nazis in large part because of Roosevelt's courageous, secret and very illegal support. King Edward did not abdicate because of the "woman he loved" he abdicated because he was a Nazi sympathizer who would have allied Britain with Germany. Churchill brokered the abdication and his flight to Canada just for that reason. Source: A Man Called Intrepid.
It would be stupid to write off Democrats as permanently the party of the socialist, tree hugging pansies.
First, they aren't pansies. If they are successful in withdrawing from Iraq and if Al Queda strikes the US again, you will never imagine a fiercer and more final attack than they will launch. The Republican war has been a patty cake war. You ain't seen how its done until the Democrats receive the predictable result of telegraphing weakness.
Although they talk the socialist line, they are pragmatists. When confronted with hard reality they will do the right thing. There are no socialists in an economic storm. Socialism can only survive amidst capitalist prosperity, living as a parasite. Look at the changes in Europe right now, going more conservative just about everywhere.
And their anti-capitalist tree hugging ways will change as private enterprise finds ways to be more environmentally friendly without all of us living in caves. Solutions always come from capitalist private enterprise, not government. After the problem is solved, government falls into step and tries to claim credit, most of the time doing the right thing for the wrong reasons.
We're not talking about the eventual result, only the price tag.
