Yea, have you noticed how the very same people who insist Liberals are elitist snobs are so quick to regard Liberals as stupid?

Like, I thought the Liberals ran all the universities? I could go ask the folks at Bob Jones University as it's not far from where I am today, although as I'm wearing a pink shirt I probably should avoid that part of town.

feelin' the love now! Dad, not avoiding you, you just seem determined to have me tell you that any servivce member that's registered democrat is unpatriotic and that's not what I've suggested, this is about ideaology, not affiliation, some of you only pick out the parts that you want, then attack with , McCain is going to enjoy huge support from dems that realize that their party is swung so far to the left that they hardly recognize it, there are 20% of the voters for hill and o that claim they'll vote for him if their guy gets the boot and then there's the the freakshow that will be the Democratic Convention

I really don' know how to respond to all of this fan mail except to say this...it's real simple

one party stands for, is currently guided by Marxist principles of massive dependence on government, they've never made it as clear as they do now, I believe that this is in direct opposition with the prnciples that this country was founded on and that it is UN-AMERICAN...even prior to the slow down of the economy local, state and the federal government are struggling to deal with obligations, both current and unfunded future obligations, I believe the estimate for unfunded federal obligations over the next 25 years is 54trillion, think about that, if you are a Marxist your solution is to soil and trash American industry, corprations and current systems in place to the degree that you create enough outrage, real or whipped up to gain approval for more and bigger government solutions... sound familiar??? election of either of these two democrat candidates will result in massive expansion of government in the lives of every American whether that means providing you services whether you like it or not or taking more of the money that you work to earn in order to pay for their bloated socialits dream.."YEAH, BUT SCOTT...BUSH LIED PEOPLE DIED, PATRIOT ACT TOOK AWAY MY FREEDOM"....shut the f#%$ up...name one liberty or freedom that any one of you has actually lost under the partiot act....

didn't think so..
still waiting for anyone to name one or two of histories great Marxists and their benevolent contributions to our world

The Dem party is no further to the left than it was under Clinton. You're just regurgitating talking points meant to associate anti-Bush rhetoric with the mainstream. Rhetoric that's shared in a less virul way by many if not most independent voters as it's rooted in very real incompetent and corrupt policy decisions.

"One party" huh?

This assertion, which I might add seems to be the bedrock of your entire argument is simply just wrong.

Both parties behave in a manner that inflates the size of government, but only one party is honest about it. The Republicans who have controled the House and Executive Office for the good part of the last 14 years have done little to seek guidance from the founding fathers and instead have made corporations dependent on the teets government, all in the name of shareholder value. The net is a middle class subsidizing 100 Million dollar paydays for the priveleged few.

What a hypocritical thing to say. Go read your own posts and reevaulate this statement.

By your definition I'd thankfully add FDR to the list.

Then why did YOU bring up party affiliation....that is where I've been going with this. You made a statement that, in your own words was "Black and White" Democrats Support Marxist ideas.

I'm just looking to see if there is any "Gray Area" here....obviously there is

There certianly is gray, ScottW just has a massive rounding error in his math.

Take for example Tammy Duckworth, a major in the National Guard who left both her legs in Iraq only to return home and run as a Democrat for the US House.

What was she fighting for?

I'm glad ya liked it Robert, it was meant to be funny, Spence is my buddy...pointless to have these discussions then be angry since none of us have any actual ability to do much about it, my customers and I will yell at each other regarding politics and then they'll cut me a check and give me a hug, you realize that the pundints and pols that scream at each other on tv are clinking beer bottles back stage afterward....then it's very interesting to me to see how folks feel, so much can shape a world view, I really believe that if folks can get together like this with clearly differing views and let it all out without actually slugging it out it can be very productive, I've learned a lot just in this small exchange but I really hope we're not cutting into anyone's fishing...PEACE
