@ronald6838 The best hope is to vote in more progressives. Not all democrates have sold out to corporations but most republicans take their marching orders from lobbiest or the party leadership.

@kaihinkong The Republicans have already stated that they are not going to do anything diffrent. And crazy Michelle Bachman has said that they will issue suponeas and conduct (White Water style) investigations. They will just engage in two years of gridlock.

@SteelMartini who cares? I am so done paying more and more taxes that I make less than the people I employ.

so why are there no solar energy pledges? Why did Bush in 2001 say THERE IS A BUDGET DEFICIT?? (I didn't know that, so it was a surprise to me, I blamed Bush, and then I watched Bush give speeches against the refusal of Dems to cut back). Remember, Bill Clinton said, if you want to live like a Republican, vote Democrat. ?!

First, only you've been calling yourself conservative, but I never admit that I'm a liberal. In fact, I consider myself as an independent and moderate. So don't put names on me!

Second, just knowing that Communist and Marxist are synonym doesn't means you know what they mean. And let's assume you know what it means, then what actions did Obama administration do signify them as communist?

Third, how does telling YOU didn't properly answer my question means lazy and weak minded?

[flyboymd82]

@kaihinkong LMAO Such a typical liberal- lazy, weak minded & wants conservatives to do EVERYTHING for them! SO SO SORRY you had to do a bit of research for yourself!

Communist and Marxists is the same thing! Karl Marx(Marxism)Wrote the "Communist manifesto"! LMAO! YOU tell ME that I don't know what they mean? Thats GRAND!

@flyboymd82

First, are you having reading disability?

I told you to give me evidences!

Not to just give me a name and told me to look it up myself!

Second, I took the effort and google them. But other than seeing comments and articles that accusing them are Marxist, I couldn't find ANY quote from them that said they are "marxists" themselves.

Third, since I give you the respect and do the research. Then had you look up the definition of "Socialist", "Communists", and "Marxists"?

[SteelMartini]

It worked last time, so why not? Republicans create a mess of things, get booted out of office, obstruct democratic progress, then make gimick plans and promises to fix things if elected. It's like a chronic cheating boy friend who always sweet talks his way back into the relationship. Remember "Contract With America"?

@drkevincampbell The Tea Party was created by corporate lobbiest. Tea Party Nation Corporation." registered with the Tennessee Department of Commerce. The followers are simpletons who are too dense to figure it out and if told wouldn't care anyway. Dick Armey and Freedom Works are the driving forces behind it, basically a republican organization.

@kaihinkong Look up Carol Browner and Van Jones. They BOTH describe themselves as 'devout marxists'.

I'll be awaiting my apology.
