Suggestion for Democrats

Now that voters have very clearly expressed their desires, a word of caution needs to be offered to the Democrats. It was not the extremists who swept them into office. It was the moderate Democratic, Republican and independent voters. If Democrats show a Pavlovian response to the extremists every time they ring the bell, Democrats are going to wind up right back where they started.

Democrats just saw what happens when extremists pull the string. Try serving all of the people, not just the radical fringe, which will never be satisfied. I suspect that a good place to start is tackling the bald-faced theft, bribery and self-enrichment problem that has become a way of life in government.
