The extremists of the left don't have anywhere near the influence that the christian taliban (Please realize that I mean this for a small sect of christians who effectively control that party only. i.e Falwell, Robertson, Dobson) has over the Republican party.
At least not anymore. Not since the 80's. Loss of absolute legislative power forced them to finally get back to democrats at large. Republicans are now completing the cycle.
Abortion stonewalling has been softened. Democrats are nowhere NEAR environmentalists (to my personal chagrin). If they were the Green Party wouldn't be the same size of the Libertarians. The anti-gun is a marginal influence.
Really, what interest group of the democrats can anyone say has the kind of influence of the Christian Coalition et al?
