Did you hear that if the Democrats take over Congress this year they will make the USA a socialist country?

Question

A free-thinking, educated, voting public obviously doesn't serve them well so, from what I hear, the plan is to keep lying to the American people about the economy, the war on terror, etc, so they can take over Congress next year and finish the job of turning the United States into their vision of a socialist utopia.

They tried to get this done in the 90's but, thank God, Newt Gingrich stepped in and acted as the monkey wrench in the dilapidated machine that is the modern American liberal movement.

This is what I heard. Please feel free to correct me if my information is incorrect.

Answer 1

No true, they have done nothing for thrity years. Why do you think they would start now?

Answer 2

Okay.

You're so far incorrect it's vaguely absurd.

The whole country, both major political parties, have moved so considerably to the Right that positions once mainstream for Republicans are now considered socialist for even Democrats to propose. (For example, Richard Nixon was the first president to actively pursue single-payer healthcare.)

That aside, what is your evidence for the idea that Democrats in Congress--notoriously a bunch of millionaires--have their hearts set on turning the United States into a socialist utopia?

And what is your evidence that any party, whether Marxist-Leninist-Maoist as you seem to think, or Centrist-Rightist to Centrist-Progressive as the Democrats actually are, would need to tell lies about the economy and the war on terror to make the current party in power look like inefficient leaders? I mean, uh, have you bought any gasoline lately? Know anyone who's gone to Iraq? Did you sleep through all of Hurricane Katrina and its aftermath? Miss the whole record-government-surplus turning to record-government-deficit phase of the last few years?

I hope you're being ironic, because if you're not, well, you really need to turn off Fox News and pick up a newspaper or something, and definitely take a day or two a week off smoking the Pro-Life Brand chronic or whatever has you confusing the party of the Clinton Clan with the Bolsheviks...

Answer 3

A free-thinking educated voting public went against bush in 2000, and the republicans basically ignored their voice, so don't accuse democrats of doing that.
The federal deficit and debt are at record numbers, and guess what? almost 3/4 of the yearly deficit could be wiped out if Bush's tax cuts for the rich were repealed.
The only people lieing about the war on terror are bush's hand picked officials that falsely claimed domestic calls were not being monitored.

but really, your question and my response are mostly just rhetoric.

Answer 4

Lying Comes Naturally to Republicans
Whenever Republican politicians find themselves in trouble, their automatic knee-jerk reaction is to blame Democrats. If there is nothing to blame Democrats for, they merely make something up - they lie. This is exactly what the Republican National Committee (RNC) chairman, following the lead of his boss George W. Bush, has done and is doing. He is placing the blame of the mean and punitive House immigration bill on the Democrats, when he knows that it is an outrageous lie.
"To be anti- George Bush is to be pro-American,"

I think he's dangerous, and he has to be stopped."

Answer 5

Put down the kool aid, lock out the fox news channel and get a grip on reality, boy. You have lost your way. You are starting to believe your own rhetoric. What ever did happen to the contract with America anyway. I think it lost its way with your criminal leader. The Repuglicans have broken that promise with the election of George Bush.

Answer 6

Where, exactly, did you hear this? Is Rush off (or on) his meds again?

Consider this: Congress cannot pass laws without them being signed by the President. It's called "checks and balances". Look it up sometime.

I am, however, not sure if Bush could find his "veto" stamp, since he's never used it.

Answer 7

Not true. That's just scare tactics from the right, to prevent you from voting out the corrupt and incompetent ruling party.

Rumor

I'm not trying to correct you, but if what you say is true, perhaps you should pack your bags and move to Iraq, where the democratic process is alive and well....

Answer 11

i'm a Democrat and all of the failings you may say approximately Democrats is okay by means of fact there are greater shall we cherry %. for the Republicans. i do no longer take place to love Woodrow Wilson in any respect, usually by means of failings he did and suggested to ladies human beings while they tried to get the surprising to vote. I only comprehend for particular that i myself have been greater suitable off under Democrats than Republicans. each and every of the propaganda in the international won't substitute that. i could desire to tell you that your Republican social gathering has already surpassed a sparkling bill in the residing house for subsidies to the farmers the place eighty% of the wealthiest farmers whose customary internet earnings is $a hundred thirty five,000 and whose debt ratio is below 9% gets an customary of approximately $4 hundred,000 over a 5 3 hundred and sixty 5 days era. Why ought to we subsidize the rich? this could be a bill for $20B a three hundred and sixty 5 days and you % to communicate approximately Democrats. in case you % to communicate coal it relatively is a few thing i'm slightly greater involved in. The coal operators have tried their perfect over the final one hundred years to purchase their way into no longer paying for the damages they have finished to property, illnesses and loss of existence they have led to by means of no longer following regulations that have been meant to save lives and save miners from getting black lung. in case you % to earnings with reference to the coal operators and miners you ought to get closer to the papers in the mining states. seem up Buffalo Creek WV the place in 1971 an entire city became wiped out while a blackwater retention pond burst and killed human beings and destroyed their residences. or merely final 3 hundred and sixty 5 days while countless miners lost their jobs by means of fact of a business enterprise that had around 3 hundred superb judgments against them for infringment of regulations. The Charleston Gazette in Charleston WV has an ongoing weblog with reference to the mines. They stated in an editorial approximately 2 months in the past that there is greater coal mined in the present day with much less adult adult males by means of way they mine and the great equipment that has been stepped forward like non-stop miners. They shave the finished tops of mountains off and sell off the rock into the valley to break the vegetation, kill community animals and harm the water tables. The Republicans have continually been those to enable them to get by means of with this,so which you do no longer persuade me in any respect.
