The rumbling rightwing

[Seawytch]

There are no similarities between Democrats and commies, but I'm not going to argue this red herring shat.

You have it precisely backwards. These days, nothing distinguishes a Democrat from a commie. Nothing.

Yes there is. You can tell them apart by the pin they wear. Dems have a US flag, Commies a hammer and sickle.

I'm hoping you are just making a poor attempt at a joke and don't truly believe that liberals, progressives or Democrats are anything akin to Communists.

People who make comparisons of Democrats to "Commies" are as ridiculous as people who make comparisons of Republicans to Nazis or gays to pedophiles.

You did not need to put 'commy' in there.

That's true. They're all commies now.

Sorry but you're facking stupid, how many of you rightwing dipshats have ever been to a Communism country? My mother and her parents are from Poland and lived there during the Soviet occupation, she says you rightwingers are facking dumb for calling Democrats commies.

Your mother is correct.
The dems have demonstrated a desire to lead the country to a communist economy, however at this point they are simply socialists.

You may not have found it funny.... being a left winger.... but yea, it was a joke. It was mocking the accusation that the democrats are communists.

I'm kind of tired of Democrats and Republicans. Frankly, the country would be better off without all of you.

Politicians in general much like lawyers should all be removed I think the world would be a far better place.

What's the difference between a "progressive" and a communist?

Half-Polack. There's the problem right there.
Communists believed in state planning for industry, in state allocating resources to favored industries, picking winners and losers, and in the need to "provide" for its citizens.
In a famous exchange, Gorbachev was visiting London and saw all the people and asked Thatcher, "How do you make sure they all get fed?"

The Dums are really very little different, believing in all those things.

Maybe that's the difference between a liberal and a conservative. The liberal would pick a book up. The conservative would read it.

The liberal would write the book, the conservative would criticize it without even reading it.

I disagree a liberal would demand someone else read it for them

Andrew Reinbach: The Right Wing Crumbles

The purists that drove the right wing tide think they're within reach of their goal of shrinking the government, and are urging each other forward regardless of cost. In the process, they're ignoring political pros who thought the right could be controlled, and who now seem to know they need to chose country over party and survive, or party over country, and perish.

Looked at this way, there's really only one outcome here; the GOP will chose to survive and will survive, though chastened and diminished. Meanwhile, the extreme-right wing House freshmen who say they came to change Washington, don't care if they're re-elected, and have the votes to block any deal they don't like, will lose the former and get the latter.

The main driver of all this is the right's long determination to starve the beast and force the government to shrink, the evidence of how far they're willing to go being the fiasco over the national debt. The right's been telling us for 50 years that this was their goal; but it was so fantastic that nobody took them seriously.

Now, alas, we know better. I'll bet you all the money in my pockets that nobody over 30 ever imagined they'd see the day Republicans would ignore the interests of corporate America, but here we are. Not only are GOP freshmen in the House dismissing increasingly frantic calls from business to avoid default -- they don't even believe it would be a bad thing, much less the door to a global catastrophe.

I could help but notice this below from a link from that story

http://www.nytimes.com/2011/07/17/us/politics/17debt.html?_r=3&hp

Some Republicans say they do not worry much about being punished by their constituents for playing hardball with their votes on the debt limit and thus pushing the nation to the brink of default. And besides, they doubt that the consequences of a default would be as dire as Mr. Obama and many economists say.

Representative Jeff Landry, a freshman Republican from Louisiana, said, “I don’t believe, if we fail to raise the debt ceiling, that we will default.” Even if the debt ceiling is reached, Mr. Landry said, the government has more than enough revenue coming in each month to pay principal and interest on the debt.

That means they don't give a shat about the people that voted for them, they care more about their personal agenda, the Repugs and rightwingers in USMB will ignore this shat.

Flaylo.....in one of your Posts you claim to be the most unbiased poster here......ok....when will we see an example of this?.....every thread you start is something bashing the Right.......when are we going to see you picking apart some of the shit the Democrats do?.......why do you always disagree with the right leaning posters here......and always agree with the Left leaning ones......hey just askin......

Since a book is, apparently, more than conservatives can handle...not enough pictures I guess...here's a nice, simple web site...

They're partly right. When it comes down to it, the Tea Party will vote GOP over a commy Democrat any day. BUT...if there is a primary, they might lose there.

There are no similarities between Democrats and commies, but I'm not going to argue this red herring shat.

I beg to differ, the Democrat party is full of communists, Marxists and the like.

Oh, and weren't you leaving?

[Patrick2]

Screw the republican party. The RINO establishment that has controlled the GOP since Reagan has been in thrall to corporate interests, which in turn are the lap kitties for the leftwing. The tea party congressmen are right - they have to do what's necessary to save the country, instead of letting the debt endlessly expand, statism and libfascism endlesssly erode freedom.
