Which is OK. At least the Dems don't move in lock step like the machine like GOP. In fact, they just recently goose-stepped off a cliff. :laugh:

For all the rhetoric about Bush and 1984, I'm surprised leftists get behind hate crime laws. Those are chillingly Orwellian. Talk about thought crimes.
And enough with the silicone breast implant crap. They're perfectly safe for anyone who doesn't already have a predisposition to Jerking Knee Syndrome. Europe has known this for decades, too bad Americans are still scared of the big bad bogeyman waiting to jump at them from out of the breast implant.

Genx's response scares me.. he actually thinks this is "far left." As for the OP.. it is possible he was being sarcastic...
In other news, in spite of the Democratic victories, religious conservatives are still free to not have abortions, and not have gay sex! All they want!.
Good, the better to make the Radical right as uncomfortable as possible as they made the rest of the Country that didn't support their agenda of destroying America

Thats retarded. You do realize that if the Dems take the party to the far left and start pushing that agenda that the Republicans will get voted right back into office right?
Maybe you should start looking at what is best for the country and not think of the next two years as a time to get revenge.

"All Americans must be prepared to endure serious threats to their freedom of speech, their right to make employment decisions as business owners and their religious freedom in the business world," Sheldon said.
Oh cool, so discrimination and intolerance are rights, which people feel are really worth fighting to keep. Pathetic.
I have to agree though, a lot looks like total BS here.
"...and a multi-pronged push to reduce unplanned pregnancies. "
Uh oh, they're trying to reduce the number of unwanted children in the country, some of whom may be born to parents on Welfare, thus draining more money from the US economy. Damn those wily politicians!
"requiring that emergency contraception be available at hospitals for rape victims"
Psh, "victims." Yeah right, they had it coming, let them get what they deserve.
"ensuring that sex education for young people includes accurate information about contraceptives."
Knowledge is the enemy of effictive government.
"Improving options for working mothers through enhanced family leave policies and child care options."
Legislation to help parents spend time with young children? What vicious bastards these Democrats are!

What? Your responses become dumber every day. I have said for a long time that I wanted Republicans to lose control of at least one branch, I'd much rather have gridlock. If the Dems take it to the far left then no I won't be happy.
Are you going to continue ignoring my question? What makes you so different from the Republicans if you want the Democrats to do the exact thing that you claim the Republicans did? You are no different then the same people on the far right that you constantly cry and moan about.
Yes it is an anecdote, but after seeing what happened I cant imagine there needs to be more legislation to make things right.
Well gee, if this is 'far left' I would hate to see what 'far right' is...probably bringing this nation back to the Civil War era.
Give it up, the righty agenda failed and failed miserably. All the bolded statements are considered either moderate or slightly left of center, which means pretty much reasonable.

I am different in one big way.
I love America and will do everything I can to protect her unlike your heroes that do everything they can to destroy America.
But wacked out foaming at the mouth right wing was fine all these years. You'll take what you get and shut up. And like it! :laugh:

I think that one of the things that the far right fans seem to misunderstand is that swing voters were sucked in by 30 years of very carefully formulated rightwing thinktank agitprop. Conservatism was marketed as a brand, and achieved a certain amount of brand loyalty, no matter the quality of govt that it delivered... It's like being a Ford Guy or a Chevy guy, even though Fords range from pintos to town cars, and chevys the same way... So long as it had a conservative label on it, then it had to be good...
Except that swing voters don't really believe in the tenets of the rightwing- even though many still think they do... Swing voters figured out that they were driving pintos, even though they'd been promised a Town Car... and opted for a different brand. They're not too sure about it yet, but they'll give it a try, because they were sick and tired of that crappy pinto...
Those who lost faith, and that's really what it is, will never look at "conservatism" the same way ever again... particularly if the new brand works out as well as they hope... face up to it, it'd be difficult for Dems to do anywhere near as bad a job as we've seen from repubs...
Who've apparently learned nothing, still putting out the same tired model as they have for years. The Bolton model is a great example, as are the renominated federal court appointees... they wouldn't sell before, what makes anybody think they'll sell now? It's not like the price can be marked down repeatedly until somebody takes it off your hands...

The difference is that we have the last six years as evidence to back up that claim, that neoconservatives (that's who he meant) are destroying America for their benefit. I thought that was an undeniable fact by now. Guess some didn't get the memo.
Well anyway, glad to see more oversight. Sad to see that we can't get rid of even more useless oil tax breaks (I think there are a couple that just got voted in by the Pugs last cycle), but this is certainly better than what the Republicans would offer.

Thank you sir. :thumbsup:
Interesting strategy they are using now.
Trying to claim they never supported their heroes to begin with.
Glad to see their obfusication is not working. :laugh:
