Obama: Possibly destroying the democratic party?

I like reading the Daily Beast because it offers intelligent perspectives from both the left and the right.Peter Bienart's column today basically argues that the health care reform Obama is pushing today will forever change the democratic party. Throughout the 2008 election I was yelling on the rooftops that Obama was totally misrepresenting himself as a reasonable centrist. Because if he had campaigned on what he actually believed in and voted for McCain would have clobbered him. I give him credit though because he hoodwinked the american people hook line and sinker. Of course it helped that the media didn't do any real investigation about how radical he was and his beliefs were. There is an old chinese (I beleive) proverb that states "You can tell a lot about a man by the company he keeps" and Obama kept some very radical company; Rev. Wright and Bill Ayers to name a couple, but back to the article. Bienart states that with signing on to this legislation he has eliminated blue dog dems and centrist dems who still believe this is a center-right country (which it is). They do this at their own peril because I personally believe that this could lead to a third party fracture. The fiscally conservative/socially liberal dems have no place in this party and they may do what the Tea party people might do to the Republicans. In 15-20 years there could be 4-5 parties that have a legitmate shot at the White House which will make things much more interesting. And frankly I think it would be great for this government. Only time will tell though. But Obama has made it clear, there is no room for moderates in his party anymore.
