You made the best statement. I like the OP but it is a naive post. We can have overlapping agreements with the Left on certain things but our core philosophies and ideologies are different. Joining together with them will help the Left in the long term especially when the right is very weak.

The party and the philosophies of the Party are two different things. John Mccain is a Neocon but if you check the history of Neoconservatism; the founders were former democrats who were disillusioned with the democrat party and joined the republican party while approaching things from an area of big government and love of foreign wars.
