Time to get new experts

'For 40 years, the Republican Party has feasted on the secular humanism, feminism, distrust of the military and permissiveness that caricature such communities. For 40 years, the Democratic Party has been burdened by its inability to break free of those stereotypes.'

Great- I found some expert reporting from one of Times expert reporters. As someone who just arrived from Mars then, I take it that this Democrat party of which it speaks has not had any members of the House of Representatives, Senators nor Presidents elected in those 40 years. Oh they have? They control both the House and the Senate? They had a two-term President in the 1990's you say? Does not compute, does not compute. So this poor put-upon Democrat party has dominated both parts of the bicameral legislature and had numerous Presidents... despite this Republican Feasting of which you speak?

Could it be that the stereotypes are still viable because the facts upon which they are based still hold?
