“I think both Parties need to go broke !!

and you are right we need a brand new party !! to be headed by real Americans for America !!

and to be guarded from infiltration by the Demarcate,s and the Republicans !! because I am an American first and for most and will not be pitted against my fellow country men and women !!

over B.S. any more !!”

“fanned. Without a doubt this will happen. It has happened several times before in our history that third parties have become very relevant. I think that we should have a party whose main point is to establish a multiparty system where there would have to be a run off for the top two candidates to establish over 50% of the vote.”

“Democrats, Draft Dean!”

“When people say stuff like "primary a sitting president on our side" I know they have absolutely no political acumen whatsoever, and no sense of the electorate. I would love for Obama to be more progressive, but wasting time and money on a primary that Dean is certain to lose does nothing but feed gory MSM headlines.”

“"Time for Dean and others of equal stature to start exploring a primary challenge in '12."

I agree.”

“Convince your district to vote progressive. The congress has more power than the president. Start there.”

“Presently, Green is too definitive to be effective; it brings back memories of 2000, when Nader and Gore both refused to negotiate and America ended up with a minority and sadistic fascist President Bush. Green, in and of itself, is too narrow of an issue. In union there is strength, to borrow a labor quote, but you must have a large enough base to be effective.
In 2000, Nader became an environmental tyrant of no real significance in a democracy but negative enough to cost Gore the narrow election.
The purpose in politics should not be to be a spoiler but to become a positive power. Political power is the same as power in Physics, it moves things. Unfortunateley, America's 2 party system waters down both parties to establish a majority and then Blue Dog Democrats betraay their own party.
Actually Green should be an issue for everyone and every party excent but flat-earthers. Green is certainly a Progressive cause however; just not effective when going it alone.

“There aren't a dozen real progressives in Washington with any government influence. What Durbin Poison is talking about is the center left Democrats who are supposed to be liberals but will vote for any military expenditure and back off any liberal position at the drop of a campaign contribution.”

“what a classy guy.”

“Cramdown was NEVER going to happen.”

“KAAAAAAAAAHHHHNNNNNN!!!!!!”

“LOL!

Or dropped d3ad!”

“Collapsing the "empire" will give way to rebuilding the Republic.

Let's hope the collapse happens soon.”

“How would closing bases in Japan, Korea and Germany pay for anything? Those countries contribute greatly to keeping those bases open. What would be saved if we would close Ramstein or Okinawa?”

“You cannot possibly expect President Obama to close every military base around the world and just pull away...to indict him and demerit him for that...I find that ridiculous.

It's more than a call of "courage" to even attempt to do such a thing...decades of involvement and literally TRILLIONS of dollars have been sunk in such efforts. You can't possibly expect him to pull up tents and bring everybody home.

That was never in his platform...so why set up a strawman that he should have done this then slam him for not doing it? It boggles the mind!”

“Thank you. Begin to withdraw does not equate to a withdrawal. We are still at post surge levels in Iraq.”
