Economy's Rise Has Political Factions Vying Over Who Gets Credit

If you were a Republican for 50+ years, of course you would agree with much of what the Democrats are doing.  That's been the aim of the DLC/Third Way/No Labels (the Democratic establishment elites that have been controlling the party for the past 20+ years):  To turn the Democratic Party into the Republican Party of old, minus the rightwing extremists but including conservatives and neoconservatives.  They've been out to marginalize both the rightwing and the base of the Democratic Party (liberals) so that they could control government from the "center" (it's not the center, in fact, but right of center), for "the next 100 years".
