You talk in vague, insulting cliches that don’t mean anything. Please stop — I come here for good, honest healthy debate, but I can’t even figure out if you’re a Democrat or a Republican. You talk about “our party,” yet you baselessly call Mary a socialist, which is a favored ploy for most Republicans.

I’m willing to share my political beliefs; you don’t. Yet, I am the coward.

In the words of my teen: “Whatever.”

It would be nice if you would start your own party and get out of ours. Liberals believe in what the Democratic party was. Not what it has become. You want to go off the cliff? Fine. We want our party back.

A tip: calling someone a coward doesn’t give you courage.

People like DonnaC strike me as the type who don’t understand the value of even the most benign consumer protection or government regulation. They also strike me as the type who don’t think for themselves, and that malleabilty allows the Valentines, Becks and O’Reillys of the world to convince them to vote against their own self-interests.

Mary, your words convince me even more that the time is right for progressives, The Republican brand-name is so tattered that not even Tea Partiers want anything to do with it, and the Tea Party is such an disorganized mess that once one gets past the populist rage, one sees a dearth of productive ideas. There are many good Republicans out there, but they don’t have a party any more.

This country faces a lot of challenges — many of which were exacerbated by the previous administration. Fortunately, the varsity is back on the field.

Do you listen to the radio show you do each day?

Or is it just as I suspect, all you people who like to throw around the terms “socialist” and “socialism” really have no idea what it really is.

And you better tell me both when and how I’ve “advanced that the liberals not not progressive enough?” Examples would be nice.

You know better than anyone what socialism is. But you hide behind the liberal sign. How many times have you advanced that the liberals not not progressive enough? We know what you mean Mary.
