Wasn't the first time by a long shot.

It's good to know what the opposition thinks. The Green Party platform is quite instructive, too.

The Democratic Party platform (the 2000 version can be found here) is, naturally, quite a bit more vague about means, concentrating on ends. But Democrats can only win by pretending they aren't leftist.

Still, I have yet to see a major Democratic Party idea that did not enlarge the role of the central government at the expense of local government or the individual.

Your ideas about making the process of government difficult certainly appeal to my libertarian side, but I also have to remember that we are engaged in a war for Western civilization, no less critical than the Cold War was. I don't think the Democrats will do as good a job fighting this war as the Republicans will.
