“Its time for the true Leftist Progressives to abandon the Democratic "Middle only Counts" Party and set sail to form their own Party and seek coalitions with other like minded folks from the Left. It seems that during Election times the Progressives within the Democratic Camp are used as the main foot soliders for the Democratic Party and we get"promises" from the leaders of the Party that appeal to the Progressive agenda, but after the election is a done deal and the Democrat that was elected then seems to run either to the right of the Party and become a Blue Dog Democrat or a middle of the road nobody. Its the rhetric of the Centralist Democrat Party that keep reminding us that the Country rests politically in the Middle.....that may in fact be a true statement but unless the leftist viewpoint is pushed and discussed we will remain stuck in the middle. Its time to form a new party and tell the Democratic right and Center to go.......fish!!!”

“No Thanks Democrat's, its either a Strong Public Option or nothing...and I'm 57 years old and I believe that all Americans deserve Healthcare Reform.....We need to put a stake in the heart of the Corporate Insurance Business in this country. If we don't get the Reform as a result of greedy or DEAF politicans from either party, then its time to vote them out in 2010.”

“Another brillant historical analysis offered by a Republican Neo-con who perhaps in the long tradition of the Neo-Con forces in this country is "trying" to either put a spin on History or rewrite History in their own image.”

“If my taxes are to go up then they should go up to help support either single Payer insurance or a strong Public Option, I hope the taxpayers aren't going to have to bend over again as we did with the Bailout we "gave" to Wall Street and the Banks who were "too big to fail".”

“I was just hospitalized for another minor stroke and when the fog lifted after my admission I was asked what I would like done should I go into a full cardiac arrest, I told the staff that I wanted to be listed as a DNR, Do not Resuscitate, I have a fear of being put on a machine to continue my breathing and never being able to get off the machine...I have a right to determine what will and will not be done to continue my life in that circumstance.”

“I think we are on the same page on this topic, but I believe that neither Party would expect the other to "give permission" to split apart.

I would also agree that having 4 political Parties would be a boon to the entire political spectrum in the country, it would I think vitalize the national interest in politics, cause more people to become involved in their expression of political solidarity with whatever faction they would or could join. It would reduce the extremist viewpoints of the two Parties, and like you mentioned "bring everyone a little closer to the center".

Out of curiosity who and how would the split take place? Could the common voter urge this split and be listened too in a realistic manner? I'm rather excited at the prospect of having the Two Parties actually listen to the voting public, instead of always have information handed down to us, it would be much more of an advantage to have a"bottom up" dialogue than the normal "top down" conversation.”

“I think this is a wonderful idea, in fact I'm in favor of seeing Bush"s Presidential Library being built in the North Korea Capital, it deserves a "special place", and if the North Korean's don't want it, might I suggest Hell?”

“In actual fact, I believe we are headed for a muti-Party coalition government, the Republicans have in reality two Parties, One Middle of the Road and the other extreme RightWing, and in the Democratic Party there is the Progressive Liberal Faction and the rightwing "Blue Dogs or Blue Cross Democratic faction. I feel that the country is equally divided into these four factions throughout the Country. If the Europeans can have multi-Parties and work out coalitions between groups would best serve the people of United States as well. Its either this or a potential break-up of the United States as we currently know it.”

“Its time to take to the streets and fight. I thought the fight would be against just the Party of No, Republicans, and Blue Dog Democratics, now it appears we must fight Obama and his Admin. as well. I think its high time the Progessives leave the "huge open tent' of the Democratic party and move left into our own Party.”

“Congrat's Senator and Mrs. Franken! Now get in there and fight for the Middle Class, get us a viable healthcare package and vote for Sotomayor for the Supreme Court...and please, if you have time help end DADT and DOMA.”

“Sally Kerns was the one that has been busted twice for carrying a concealed weapon into the Okla. Chambers. She is a prize loon of the Republican Party noted for their other prize loons!!! Thank God for the loons, they are about the only thing to laugh about these days!!”

“Thank God, It high time that crook Coleman hits the road! What a jerk...but what am I saying, of course he's a jerk......He's a Republican!!! The Party of No gets reality slung into their collective face again!!!”

“Poor Michael, I am so sorry to hear of your passing, I loved your music and respected your talent .You will be missed.”

“What is with our Political leaders of this country? They seem to be chasing tail rather than taking care of the business at hand, and for those who are gleeful its another Republican, don't forget John Edwards he's a Democrat. What angers me is the wives of these guys,why would they allow them back into their lives?”

“Before you go Sara please return all those clothes you got from the GOP, they will need them for their next "tremendous Female" they pick to run. Good-bye!! And don't let the door hit ya where the Good Lord split ya!!”

“Good for the Freshmen Democratic members of Congress, they need to listen to the American people, not the White House and not the GOP, we voted for change and change includes ending this costly and ill conceived War in both Iraq and Afganistan. Fight the good fight, end this mess vote against the Funding for the War!”

“Boycott California, is a great idea and I think one that every gay, Lesbian in the rest of the Country would support. Hit them where they live....in their pocketbook!”

“Send the Senator an email telling him what you think of him and his inability to see what the American people want and need, flood his office with calls, send him snail-mail...let him know that the People of the United States will not forget his betrayal of us. I encourage every adult in Nebraska to this this and stop giving the Senator money for future campaigns.”

“Coleman and his Republican backed friends are all slime, may they sink into either a swamp or prison depending upon any democrat putting them in prison.”

“I say let the Old Republicans continue to talk, they are in the minority and the more they shoot their mouths off the more people are turned off by them and realize what nutjobs they really are and have been for the past 30 years. It won't be long until there are no more Republicans except the types your story covers. Let them sink back into nothingness! It would be a blessing for America.”

“If you choose to go after Gays and Lesbians all the while your one who seeks to get your rocks off and stay in the closet you deserve to be Outted.”

“Kiefer, stop drinking, get some help, join AA, do something worthwhile with your life before the booze kills you.”

“My question always has been this, How would a gay marriage or a lesbian marriage manage to destroy a straight marriage? Where is the threat? Let folks who want to have a committed relationship with a member of their own sex, it shouldn't be view as a threat to straight marriage. And if the argument is one of a religious nature, let folks be judged by God not other flawed human beings.”

“I also emailed Senator Nelson and my own Senator from Colorado over the need of adequate healthcare for all Americans. In my email to Senator Nelson I told him that if he continues to vote for the Insurance companies, I would do all that I can to see him get the boot in 2012. I urge everyone to flood his office with emails,phone calls about his choice against the American people.”

“Subpeona Ari by all means, now if he'd actually show up...kinda like Karl Rove and Harriet Myers, I doubt his lawyers would allow him to either show up or testify.”
