The democratic party has now become the party of liberal elites, armchair socialists, and out and out marxists.

Take, for example, President Obama's adopted home state.

With the worst credit rating in the country, and with the second-biggest public debt per capita, the Prairie State "has been doing back flips on a high wire, without a net," according to the report.
