I never know what to make of these claims. The Dems often really suck, but 1) they've always been good imperialists, and 2) though the New Deal and Great Society are long dead, there are still big differences between D and R on labor law, minimum wage, tax policy, and health care. Look at the current fight over expanding the Child Health program - Ds for, Rs against. As I keep saying, to no apparent effect, the differences between the two parties are wider now than they were in the 1950s and early 1960s. It's a mathematical fact.
