The New Democrats have called for that under the previous government, and will call for that again under this government.

He was one of the white Democrats who started out as one of the conventional segregationists and then made the transition to biracial politics.

The Democrats are the party that says government will make you smarter, taller, richer, and remove the crabgrass on your lawn. The Republicans are the party that says government doesn't work and then they get elected and prove it.

Absolutely no winners have emerged from this. All sides have been damaged - the democrats, the government, Beijing and Hong Kong society in general.

The Democrats are going to have some tough resource issues this year. With the numbers in state government against them, the Democrats are just not a very good investment at this time.

The basic credibility of this government is really up for grabs and open for question without the Democrats doing anything but pointing a finger.
