Do you believe that the democratic party becoming more attached to its radical leaning side is a positive thing?

Yes or no are acceptable answers

Where do you get this more from? Same people involved here. WTF? The premise is simply not factual.

Quote from the original link

Pelosi will lead Democrats "in pulling on the president's shirttails to make sure that he doesn't move from center-right to far-right," said Rep. Lynn Woolsey, D-Calif., a co-chair of the liberal Progressive Caucus in the House


Anyone who believes that the President is center-right is seeing the world through very far left colored glasses. The Progressive Caucus is the far left of the party and when they are speaking for you as the minority leader, well you dont have to be a math whiz to add 2 and 2 together.

She's talking about his position while compromising. 2 weeks ago, he was considering extending the tax break for the rich (a far Right position.). If he extends any of that tax break for them(at all,) guess what? That's Center-Right.

Tax cuts are now considered a far right position?

For people making over 250k, yes, extending the Bush tax cut is a far right position.

See, this is a good example of how Republicans aren't into negotiation, or compromise. The President freezes Fed Gov't workers pay, and what happens? They simply call for more cutting of the Federal workers pay etc. There's no new offer to have the rich give up something, only more attack on the middle.

40K in benifits times 1.35 million employees comes to a lot of money. Not only are the workers overpaid there are far too many of them. Freezing their inflated pay and pensions does nothing but insure their fat pay and beni's. How about reducing their pay 20% and reducing beni's by 30K and allow Americans to feel they're getting some value for their buck and allow Gov. workes to receive raises according to factors like job performance? Now there's a novel idea I suppose is anti-democratic and middle class. LOL

The vast majority of people making over 250k are hardly considered the mega rich.
