and please, do not give me any easily available (and dismissable) conservative talking points that any dumb-*** that watches oreilly or listens to limbaugh could put forth, such as the koala-fuker did

to people like janice, i have heard rush limbaugh before.. he is on in my area from 11 to 3 everyday.. i can listen to that message anytime i want

*and abortion itself is not the reason liberals seem to cling to it.. it is the value of personal, not collective, decision/responsiblity that fuels that fire.. which could completely be another question, which i think ill ask

I feel the same way. I dont completely agree with republicans, but I have no idea what democrats stand for, so I have no idea if I agree or disagree.

You asked an honest question so I will attempt to give you an honest answer. You are right the democrats don't have any new ideas. For at least the last 12 years their whole platform has been if the republicans are for it we are against it. The only thing I see democrats standing up for is higher taxes, no military spending, and abortions. These are all things that appeal to their extremely liberal base. These things do not appeal to the majority of Americans so when democrats want to be elected they hide these ideas and bash President Bush or bash Republican ideas. They don't seem to grasp the fact that there are problems in this country and we need to solve them not with words but with actions. They do not understand that I feel I know how to spend the money I earn better than the federal government does. The democrats do not seem to have any solutions. These are, in part, the reasons I vote Republican.

The "Socialist Communists" is the true name and many fine Dems are proud Of it! The "Hollywood Party" works as well as the name "France" is already taken.

You want serious and yet call someone a Fuker?
Yes at one time the Democratic Party had a serious agenda and Like FDR and JFK added a social temperance to Capitalism. Since then the dam has busted and they are a collection of every extremist movement minus the Nazis on the extreme right! Read Ron Regan's response to his decision to leave the Democratic party to become a Republican for a great and wise answer. Read Why even Patton the Democrat became a Republican! When Social Temperance becomes a fight for the Likes of NAMBLA it is time to move on!

perhaps you might refer to l frank baum or the wizard of oz book to get a name for the party as cut and run and the cowardly lion seem to be uniquely suited for each other.

Excellent question....easy answer.

First I want to say that I am an independent, and do not belong to any political party.

The correct name for the democratic party is the communist party. The agenda of the democrats is simply to turn the US into a communist regime.

The following is a list of 45 goals necessary for the communist takeover of America as presented to congress in 1963 (Congressional Record appendix pp.A34-A35 January 10, 1963). Some have no bearing on society today as this was over 40 years ago. The vast majority, however, are EXACTLY the same as the current communist (democrat) agenda:

1. U.S. acceptance of coexistence as the only alternative to atomic war.

2. U.S. willingness to capitulate in preference to engaging in atomic war.

3. Develop the illusion that total disarmament [by] the United States would be a demonstration of moral strength.

4. Permit free trade between all nations regardless of Communist affiliation and regardless of whether or not items could be used for war.

5. Extension of long-term loans to Russia and Soviet satellites.

6. Provide American aid to all nations regardless of Communist domination.

7. Grant recognition of Red China. Admission of Red China to the U.N.

8. Set up East and West Germany as separate states in spite of Khrushchev's promise in 1955 to settle the German question by free elections under supervision of the U.N.

9. Prolong the conferences to ban atomic tests because the United States has agreed to suspend tests as long as negotiations are in progress.

10. Allow all Soviet satellites individual representation in the U.N.

11. Promote the U.N. as the only hope for mankind. If its charter is rewritten, demand that it be set up as a one-world government with its own independent armed forces. (Some Communist leaders believe the world can be taken over as easily by the U.N. as by Moscow. Sometimes these two centers compete with each other as they are now doing in the Congo.)

12. Resist any attempt to outlaw the Communist Party.

13. Do away with all loyalty oaths.

14. Continue giving Russia access to the U.S. Patent Office.

15. Capture one or both of the political parties in the United States.

16. Use technical decisions of the courts to weaken basic American institutions by claiming their activities violate civil rights.

17. Get control of the schools. Use them as transmission belts for socialism and current Communist propaganda. Soften the curriculum. Get control of teachers' associations. Put the party line in textbooks.

18. Gain control of all student newspapers.

19. Use student riots to foment public protests against programs or organizations which are under Communist attack.

20. Infiltrate the press. Get control of book-review assignments, editorial writing, policy-making positions.

21. Gain control of key positions in radio, TV, and motion pictures.

22. Continue discrediting American culture by degrading all forms of artistic expression. An American Communist cell was told to "eliminate all good sculpture from parks and buildings, substitute shapeless, awkward and meaningless forms."

23. Control art critics and directors of art museums. "Our plan is to promote ugliness, repulsive, meaningless art."

24. Eliminate all laws governing obscenity by calling them "censorship" and a violation of free speech and free press.

25. Break down cultural standards of morality by promoting pornography and obscenity in books, magazines, motion pictures, radio, and TV.

26. Present homosexuality, degeneracy and promiscuity as "normal, natural, healthy."

27. Infiltrate the churches and replace revealed religion with "social" religion. Discredit the Bible and emphasize the need for intellectual maturity, which does not need a "religious crutch."

28. Eliminate prayer or any phase of religious expression in the schools on the ground that it violates the principle of "separation of church and state."

29. Discredit the American Constitution by calling it inadequate, old-fashioned, out of step with modern needs, a hindrance to cooperation between nations on a worldwide basis.

30. Discredit the American Founding Fathers. Present them as selfish aristocrats who had no concern for the "common man."

31. Belittle all forms of American culture and discourage the teaching of American history on the ground that it was only a minor part of the "big picture." Give more emphasis to Russian history since the Communists took over.

32. Support any socialist movement to give centralized control over any part of the culture--education, social agencies, welfare programs, mental health clinics, etc.

33. Eliminate all laws or procedures which interfere with the operation of the Communist apparatus.

34. Eliminate the House Committee on Un-American Activities.

35. Discredit and eventually dismantle the FBI.

36. Infiltrate and gain control of more unions.

37. Infiltrate and gain control of big business.

38. Transfer some of the powers of arrest from the police to social agencies. Treat all behavioral problems as psychiatric disorders which no one but psychiatrists can understand [or treat].

39. Dominate the psychiatric profession and use mental health laws as a means of gaining coercive control over those who oppose Communist goals.

40. Discredit the family as an institution. Encourage promiscuity and easy divorce.

41. Emphasize the need to raise children away from the negative influence of parents. Attribute prejudices, mental blocks and retarding of children to suppressive influence of parents.

42. Create the impression that violence and insurrection are legitimate aspects of the American tradition; that students and special-interest groups should rise up and use ["]united force["] to solve economic, political or social problems.

43. Overthrow all colonial governments before native populations are ready for self-government.

44. Internationalize the Panama Canal.

45. Repeal the Connally reservation so the United States cannot prevent the World Court from seizing jurisdiction [over domestic problems. Give the World Court jurisdiction] over nations and individuals alike.
