Can anyone define a Republican or Dem

[BenjaminES]

WAY left of center, limey.

You don't even know where center is anymore.

Let me help: Obama is right of center. If you disagree, lol, take high school civics again.

EDIT: And I say this as someone who is really way left of center. But according to republicans these days I'm a communist.


yup, a communist who believes in free enterprise. Wait how does that make me a communist? Oh yeah I think things like healthcare should be allowed

Republicans want to take your money and give it to the rich in exchange for their vote
Democrats want to take your money and give it to the poor in exchange for their vote

[bmore_ken]

lol Really?

Yeah I kind of scratched my head on that one too

[CajunRaven]

Republicans are about "me"
Democrats are about "we"

That's why I'm a Democrat.

Now this here is funny.

lol Given that the current President is really all about "me, me, me" -- more so than even his predecessors. Have you never listened to him??

Nonesense. Obama uses the word "we" all the time. And when he talks about jobs created, he always says "created by the private sector". Most Presidents take credit for all job creation on their watch. So I'm not sure where youre coming from...

[Sprightly]

When he's campaigning, yes.

"created by the private sector" since we took office.

No way is the Tea Party the far right religious nuts. They have their own identity and have split the party into 3 separate areas. The Religious right and the Conservative right could get along at times but the Tea Party is one that stands by itself. What started out to be a good thing has been embraced and taken over by the Coke's and the power rich right. Led by none other than the same characters who ran Bush;s campaign. Money, money money.

If Carl Rove could be a dictator he would love it but instead he finds ways, first the religious right with Bush and now the Tea Party...In this he gets to control the Government.

The Tea Party is primarily 'anti-liberal' and predominately a social-conservative movement made up of what we used to call the extreme religious right. While there is a lot of rhetoric about cutting spending led by their de-facto leader Ron Paul it is only spending for what they see as liberal programs.

You need no further proof of the strength of the religious right, social conservative faction in the Tea Party than a recent Tea Party Patriots straw poll in which the leader of the religious right in Government Michelle Bachmann received 28% of the vote while Ron Paul barely got 3%. I would respectfully suggest that those percentages are a pretty accurate reflection of the make up of the Tea Party from the religious right and and as the Tea Party like to think of themselves, fiscal conservatives.

As for how the Tea Party started it was only a grass-roots organisation for a matter of weeks or months as a bottom up type of movement with no funding. So in moved the Koch brothers and others to fund the movement and turn it on its head to a top down organisation as close to being a fascist movement as this country has seen for some generations.

"created by the private sector" since we took office.

Incorrect. They usually say, "since the end of the recession"

Look it up...

Here's a hint. "center" is average, median, normal, etc.

Republicans who think you are a communist are idiots. No lack of that on the right.
