No, they aren’t getting their way on anything substantial. They have, however, managed to pull this country further to the left. Think about it. Only a few short years ago Republicans and conservatives were horrified at the thought of Nancy Pelosi becoming Speaker and having power. She was considered a far left loon. I don’t think she’s changed her political opinions about anything, and, yet today she has become the moderate voice of reason within the Democratic caucus. The Gang Of Four is being vilified and made fun of and attacked from every angle. They seem to be trying to bring this country to the brink of a civil race war. To that end we all hope they fail miserably. But in the meantime the country has very subtly taken another step or two to the left. So the question becomes: s the Gang of Four winning without anyone realizing it?
