The essential difference between liberals and conservatives is that liberals could not exist without conservatives to defend their freedom and support them economically. GM should not have been bailed out. Screw em, they screwed the American worker for 20 years. But nationalized banks and healthcare, that would be a great day. ;-) However, that is not happening in this administration (and probably not any anytime soon seeing how conservative modern democrats are), so I think perhaps someone's facts/beliefs are a little skewed. Ill throw this out there one more time. Obamacare is based on Romneycare (Republican), and Romneycare was very similar to laws enacted in NYS in the 90's by Governor Pataki (Republican). So, please lets not get Obamacare confused with national healthcare when it rather reeks of similar Republican plans. #resist |

If she was looking for center-right parties -- she needs to go to the Democratic National Convention. The Republican National Convention is for Right/Far Right. |

Good deal, we get to have an overt British action attempting to influence our domestic and international policies. LOL, I thought that was figured out somewhere around 1776 and 1812. |

Maybe the problem is that the USA has lost it's direction, a piece I found in the Telegraph; If running a business is now an electoral disadvantage, this isn't the America I thought I knew And didn't Calvin Coolidge say "After all, the chief business of the American people is business." And from the other party "It's the economy, stupid" James Carville, campaign strategist for Bill Clinton. |

Calvin Coolidge at best is controversial, and most consider to be lack luster. The Carville quote is out of context. The business of government is not to line the pockets of transglobal corporations. |

OK, where did you get the information on nationalizing the banks, that's a new one. So you've never heard of the Federal Reserve? While they are not actually government entities, they dictate to us what we will and will not do. They bought this country during the FDR regime. I'm surprised you didn't know that.. |

The essential difference between liberals and conservatives is that liberals could not exist without conservatives to defend their freedom and support them economically. The two are very different. One is enacted in a state, the other is national. You are not allowed to do it nationally.....unless of course you have a crooked judge that passes something that was not voted on. |

If she was looking for center-right parties -- she needs to go to the Democratic National Convention. The Republican National Convention is for Right/Far Right. Coming from a far left/Far lefty. |

Judged by the standards of the rest of the world, the current Republican outlook is only one step to the left of those who shave their their heads and have swastikas tattooed on their foreheads. The Democrats are at the same level as the "conservative" parties in most other democracies (middle right). To brand the Democrats as "socialist" shows a complete lack of understanding as to what the term really means. The most successful governments are those with with a "centre" position. i.e. Business friendly but still with a social conscience. T.A. |

Allen, from your posts it isn't that you are a conservative -- or rather if you think of yourself as a conservative, you've essentially maligned conservatism as much as the TeaPublicans have mangled the Republican party. Research, research, research. Something you progressives tend to forget, avoid or don't care about. Check his upbringing and school records. Very telling. |

Boy are you lost. BTW, the left is more communist that socialist. Not by the standards of some who post on these boards :-) Maybe the definitions change according to region but usually Socialism is regarded as "Centre Left" while Communism is "Far Left". T.A. P.S. On re-reading my post I can see how you might have been confused. maybe I should have said. Judged by the standards of the rest of the world, the current Republican outlook is only one step away those who shave their their heads and have swastikas tattooed on their foreheads.... With the understanding that Fascism is usually regarded as the "Far Right" |

Research, research, research. Ha, some of us have done our research. You want the guy that has a questionable tax history, made his fortunes out of buying out companies and shutting them down and keeping his money stockpiled in offshore accounts, and has been known to harass people in a disturbing fashion for being different... Yep, lets put the guy in office that would be there simply to look out for his own interests and his friends'. Perhaps our increased taxes can go directly towards buying him another car elevator, or multi-million dollar home (lets just cut out the middleman). This is a guy I want running the country, yep, an honest man that always paid his share. Is he looking out for you, or just himself? Research research research. (And while we argue about politicians that claim 40 Million in income, we have even bigger criminals making 40 Billion per year, that need to be regulated better and taxed higher.) #resist |

Apparently, it is a vile act to be born, brought up by parents (a few different dads?) and get an education. BTW, AlienIN, try checking out MY school records. Yeah, then, do you research on a little thing called FERPA. |
