Liberals Admit The Democratic Party Is Out Of Ideas.....

"Right" and "wrong" are subjective terms.

No, they are terms with solid and definitive meaning. Relativism strikes again.


We live in a Constitutional Republic that uses a form of democracy called "representative democracy". Republic and democracy are not mutually exclusive.

The Constitutional supersede the "representative democracy" concept.


"The most epic election seen in many cycles"? What makes it so "EPIC!!!!". :lamo
But here is a pretty good, and very logical explanation: How can Republicans be less popular than Democrats yet headed for a landslide? - Vox

You have lost more seats now then since the 1920`s...And popularity only matters in High School kiddo.

Ok thanks captain obvious to pointing out that its the supreme law of the land. But you do admit we use a form of democracy called representative democracy?

In other words its "EPIC" because......

So just because an idea is "new" it must be better while ideas that are tried and true are some how "outdated" really does show the child like feeling of the left..

yeah....you have it right...

However, none of their ideas are actually new, and none has ever worked. I mean how was the nation bettered with two year unemployment? It didn't, but their supporters were kept in line.

Im fairly certain finances are the decisive factor in determining enrollment at private schools. And my life choices will help to assure that its not a factor.

Private schools here are subsidized to balance the scales.

BTW, is that a right or left thingy?

The dems in congress had their butts handed to them. Remember that? It was awesome.

I heard that it was the single largest defeat handed a sitting president in history. I heard that despite the progressive's bleat they would re-take the house and win he Senate, they actually lost both, just shy of the veto proof mandate.

I also heard that Obama's hands are tied, that he is the lamest of lame ducks, and that the Democratic Party is scrambling on how to fix the problem in time for the 2016.

Is any of that true, or just more right wing slander the progressives always imagine?

So on top of factual and cultural, now we have moral relativism...Nice.

If it so, why do we blame our leaders and not the voters?


In other words its "EPIC" because......

Because of the number of seats and position you have lost...That is why.

Left are people who favor statist, Right are people who favor Liberty..Sorry did not understand the post..

Oh, stop it. There are plenty on the "left" who favor liberty; there are plenty on the "right" who favor statism, when it serves their purpose. This whole idea that the left-to-right and statism-to-liberty scales are analogous is preposterous.

Seems to be the usual "right is perfect; left is pure evil" dreck that so often seems to float to the surface of this forum like a giant turd in the toilet of discourse.

Really? They are? So why do they want to ban this and that and control everything?

They are Neo Con Statist and we are purging them.

Only if people do not want to be measured and put on that scale

Only the "left" wants to ban or control certain things?

I did away with my lean because I got tired of people arguing against the lean rather than the statement. I prefer to let my words speak for themselves. Far too many hacks around here play Lean Police and pretend that because X person has Y lean, then what they have to say is automatically invalid.

Only? No, More then the right? Yes.

Hell you live in NY.

Home of styrofoam ban

The SAFE Act

The Bloomberg Soda, Salt, and Formula ban attempts.

You have banned Fracking and screwed your state out great jobs badly needed up North.

You have the highest property taxes, highest gas taxes, never ending regulations that increase the cost of living.

But hey "what difference does it make"
 

So you could not defend it, so you did not want to publish it...So you are to the left.
 

I did all that? Wow, and here I thought I was just some regular joe. Didn't realize I was the ****ing governor, mayor of NYC and state legislature all wrapped up in one fleshy container.
 
I see you've met the newest anti-leftie, anti-GOP elite, anti-Boehner, anti-teacher Union, pro-Gov. Walker, etc.
Check out his stuff in the gun threads . :lamo
