it's a Nazi thing

[unhealthytruthseeker]

"The Economist" in favor of socialism? Ha!

[punkeratheart]

@unhealthytruthseeker Yes, I realize I'm replying to a year-old comment........but I just looked at your screen name, and I thought to myself "oh god, that's ME!". I've spent the past decade+ reading and listening and watching and studying and researching all the worst and most vile, deplorable, disgusting, evil actions of corporate, government, intel, and military entities, and I have panic attacks that last entire days from it. THAT is unhealthy! I guess I overdosed on truth!

[fedornavid]

you are a lame fat shit.

[Xerxes4242]

@NoogLeader Well, it can be confusing.. there's left and right economically, and left and right socially.

Generally speaking, left economically means higher taxes but with more programs(health care, old age security) and right is lower taxes but fewer programs.

Socially, left is like.. gay right, relaxed drug laws.. "progressive" thinking, where right is your crazy old Christian men.. no gay marriage, no women/black votes..(that's far far right though).

Hope that helped a little bit:P

@Xerxes4242 I just want to have an explanation of Right and Left. What is the Centre? What do the terms mean. I keep hearing them but they don't tell me anything about what they are.

[Xerxes4242]

@NoogLeader They say a lot, but in the USA party, your democrats are right-centre-right, and the republicans are right-right-centre.. if that makes sense... so there's not much difference in the USA.

[GooberSpunk]

This is bullshit. He was a Democrat for how long? Most politicans these days are career politicians, so NONE of them turncoat just because. There's always a hidden agenda.

Sorry-ass turncoats can't be trusted, so stop defending them. Calling the right wingers stupid for not wanting him? It's not that they don't want him because he voted for cash for clunkers, it's beacuse he's STILL A DEMOCRAT!!!

[NoogLeader]

Someone explain this right left crap to me. I can understand Liberal, Progressive and Conservative. I can Understand Republican, Democrat, Green Party, Tea Party and all that crap. But what is the difference between the Right and Left. They have no explanatory power to me. Why do people use still use the meaningless right left labels? They don't say anything.

[SquallCloud]

And with the supreme courts help, the ruling class doesn't even have to play at democracy anymore.

[rumisouth]

Ah. Here we are: the cloture rule. The GOP is being stupid, but they've also been the Party of No. Which, thanks to miracles and turncoats, gave us 60 Senators -- exactly enough to pass reform.

Two senators decided to play spoiler. So exactly how does Obama "betray" the left to get the best bill possible?

[SketchyBack]

There are people on the right who want Griffith to win and people who want someone more conservative, and there are people on the left who want Specter to win and people who want someone more liberal. I'm sure you'll find Progressives who'll never vote for Specter and will go Green instead. Doubt this story warrants 5 minutes of talking.
