Unhinged and Ununified

Clearly democrats and republicans disagree on a number of issues. Now it's obvious the dems cannot agree even within their own party. Hillary Clinton recently called for an ideological cease-fire among the different feuding factions within the democratic party.

Clinton Angers Left With Call for Unity
Senator Accused of Siding
With Centrists
Sen. Hillary Rodham Clinton's call for an ideological
cease-fire in the Democratic Party drew an angry reaction yesterday from liberal
bloggers and others on the left, who accused her of siding with the centrist
Democratic Leadership Council (DLC) in a long-running dispute over the future of
the party.
Long a revered figure by many in the party's liberal wing,
Clinton (D-N.Y.) unexpectedly found herself under attack after calling Monday
for a cease-fire among the party's quarreling factions and for agreeing to
assume the leadership of a DLC-sponsored initiative aimed at developing a more
positive policy agenda for the party.

What kind of party gets angry when a call for unity goes out? What kind of party thinks it's unwise to side with centrists in a bid to find common ground? What kind of party would rather divide than unite?

A party that is doomed to occupy the dust bin of history, that's what kind of party.
