The Constitution Party..
They oppose your right to euthanasia
They believe state and local governments have the right to criminalize "offensive sexual behavior" (i.e. gay)
They think pornography is "a destructive element of society resulting in significant and real emotional, physical, spiritual and financial costs to individuals, families and communities," distinguishable from the American citizen's "cherished First Amendment right to free speech."
They think government should limit the import of drugs
(i.e. drug war at the border and beyond)
They view gambling as destructive
They oppose legal abortion...and Chuck Baldwin thinks he can make all abortion in the United States illegal on the first day of his Presidency all on his own.
no no fletch.
what you say with the bailout was class consciousness. this is one of marx's core principles explained in the communist manifesto.
the middle class became aware that the elite were taking advantage of them. the middle rallied, shouted for justice and wanted the elite to be left for dead. bush's government backed the elite and left the middle to pay for it.
obama will fix that by taxing the elite to benefit the engine of the economy, the middle.
what your seeing now is a rise in class consciousness. middle is tired of being left stuck paying for the elite. thats why there voting for obama.
what's wrong with socialism? nothing.
look at crime rates, literacy rates, and quality of life in socialist countries.
Just curious...where exactly do you live? If it's within the continental United States, then I'm sorry. You're in the wrong place. This country was not founded on socialist values or principles, and there are millions willing to fight with their every last ounce of energy to keep it that way (myself included).
Why don't you pack your bags and head to somewhere that is a socialist nation? In fact, what are you even doing on the internet? Don't you realize there are millions of peope less fortunate than you who don't have internet access? Why haven't you sold your computer (or car, or whatever else your parents had to buy for you) and given the money to someone less fortunate than you?
You never answered my question from before. Why do Americans not look to sneak into Cuba if it's the paradise you claim it is? Why do foreigners literally risk their lives to come to the United States if it's such a shithole?
Oh, and Brazil has a "thriving" economy?
Brazilian economy faces confidence crisis

Congress is way too partisaned right now to get anything done. It's gonna be a one party system until the both sides figure out how to work together.
If Obama has a great first 2 years, the republican party will live the desert for a long time. They'll have no one to contest Obama in 2012.
Too funny. "Read up on" you say so as not to provide any evidence.
I just went and read a few Articles on Brazil. First ones that came up, no hunting for the worst ones. What a freekin disaster. Makes USA, even with the problems we now face look like Eden.
Again Socialism is a FAILURE. The problems we face here are mostly caused by already being too Socialist.
Here's Hope a revolt against Obama down the road brings us back closer to what the Founders had in mind. I'm not like one of these assinine lefty's that roots for the Country to fail, but as I see Obama making us even more Socialist, failure is inevitable.
When some goods or services are essential to our citizens but cannot be furnished by private enterprise then the government is forced into business.
The Army is a socialist organization.
The post office is a socialist organization.
Federal police forces are socialist organizations.
FEMA and that sort of organizations are socialist.
The Park and Wildlife, FHA, FDA and all the rest are socialist.
One industry stands out as failing to meet the needs of all the people at an affordable price and that is the medical profession.
Medicare and Medicaid are already socialist.
Soon there will be much more Socialism in that industry.
The Banking industry probably can be saved as Capitalist.
This is not a total capitalist country as many seem to believe.
Nor should it be.

If the government actually printed and regulated its own money without having to be charged interest, we would be much better off. so in that case, socialism works. But that is about the extent of it IMO. Medical coverage needs to be reshaped, not turned over to the government. The last thing i want is the government giving me mandates on my own health. Just because something fails doesnt mean we should look for the government to make it better, because you know as well as i do Punter that the government is very inefficient.
