Just because some members of both parties are the cause of some of our problems doesnt mean both deserve equal blame.

We've had 12 yrs of Democrats and 20 yrs of Republicans from 1980 to 2012 so think about that....

What a hack.

If you don't understand the problem you aren't likely to fix it.

I'd like somebody to point out some problems with progressives and liberals.  There's alot of shit talk about left wing politics but no substance, which only solidifies the liberal spirit.  Who wants to cave to a bunch of know-nothing shit talkers?


I'm waiting.

No need to wait long. We can start with Keynesian Economics. Then there is that little part about spending other peoples money to pay off their own debts. Then there is the part that we can spend more, go into debt more. Then borrowing more money. Then we can take a look at how they like to think for others yet can't get their heads out of their azzes. Talkin about shit-talkers. Been that way ever since their creation.
Talk about equality for all but then look to prop up a minority's rights over that of the majority.

Then we can look at the social issue of the liberals being responsible for the breakdown of morality.

You guys have said rich people are majority democrats but then why would they want to raise taxes?

Always blasting Obama for class warfare and saying he wants to redistribute wealth well then why would the rich side with him?

You cant get your story straight either he is doing the work of the rich or he is fighting for the poor depending on the situation conservatives use both arguments. Look at my other thread you guys wont even admit the majority of the rich are republicans. That is fact!

poll after poll says the same thing

http://www.cnn.com/ELECTION/2006/pages/results/states/US/H/00/epolls.0.html


This is one poll that puts them at 45% and 53%. Hardly reason to speak of them coming down heavily on one side. As I said earlier, "the rich" are not a monolithic block. The poor, however, appear to be if one were to judge by your poll.
