		<description>The Rubublican’t must think we’re “still” stupid.  They think, well, they voted Buooch in the second time …..

Socialism is ACTUALLY A PROMOTION from where we have been in the last 8-years!  Can we say Fascism?  Buooch and Cheney were Fascist leaders who took our rights away via memos to the DoJ and cramming down crap legislation because they had majorities.

Main problem is that our politicians take TOO MUCH MONEY from lobbyist and special interests.  The Rebpublican’ts take MORE than the Democrats from big oil, insurance, banking, pharmaceuticals, etc., etc.  We need a PUBLICLY FUNDED campaign system with NO outside contributions to our politicians.  If they take a “bribe” they get canned!

Another point:  When the gap between rich and poor widens, the populace usually pushes to MORE socialism!  This is human nature when one part of the populace feels screwed (always the lower and middle class)!  So, the Republican’t need to only look at themselves for the way the populace feels right now.  They’ve voted to take away too much from the populace and given to big business creating the gap we are all now unhappy about!  Socialism is created by populace unrest.

Last point: America is a hybrid country where we can have a mix of programs: some capitalistic and socialistic!  The only reason some are complaining about socialism is because they want it THEIR way which is excessive profits and salaries for useless management on the back of their workforce.  And when there are lay-offs, who are the first to go?  The workers who carried the company the ENTIRE time.</description>

		<description>Man O man, it has got to be a sad day to get up in the morning and put on your republican face and report to republican head quarters for work.  Or republican training on Rush butt munching.

Hmmm?  Unemployment or a paycheck?

Remember, the party of God, apple pie, family values, defense funds, smaller Gov&#039;t and such?</description>

		<description>Why is socialism or socialist such repugnant words in the American or should I dare say Republican vocabulary? This country provides every child under the age of 18 a free education, a socialistic program if I&#039;ve ever seen one. Is not WIC (Women, Infant, Child) Program a socialistic program? What about Social Security, is that not a socialistic program. What are the Republicans afraid that this country will become entirely socialistic? Well the politicians have helped this country along down the road towards socialis, by allowing our economy to go south, literally. Our government has allowed corporations to outsurce the American worker&#039;s jobs to foreign shores for the sake of a larger profit margin. Maybe it&#039;s time for our government to take care of WE the people, since the pliticians have sold our jobs to foreigners. WE the people need the socialistic programs to provide us with affordable health care for all Americans. WE the people need to end the retirement system given to our elected congressmen and senators and put them on Social Security. Now that would be a starting step forward towards a progressive state.</description>

		<description>Um. I must quibble, Progressive Republican. &quot;Progressive tax policy&quot; is dated back to, at least, the French Revolution and U.S. income taxes have been progressive, in theory, since the inception of Federal income tax. 

Tricky Dick didn&#039;t invent nuthin&#039; aside from overt criminal activity in the White House. And even there, one could look at several past Presidents and conclude that Tricky Dick just &quot;invented&quot; getting caught through his own incompetence.</description>

		<description>Hey Repube dipsh*ts! &quot;Democrat&quot; is a noun. &quot;Party&quot; is a noun. A noun can&#039;t modify a noun so you sound like morons when you say &quot;Democrat Party&quot;. I guess it illustrates the intellectual bankruptcy of an ideology that&#039;s so is so wrong even your grammar is incorrect.

It&#039;s good to see, though, you continue to take a wide stance on issues of no importance like what the other party calls itself. Heck of job, there Repubes.</description>
