You implied that it was only Republicans that are partisan and opposed to social change.
notice, no implications about democratsthe part about the republicans being partisan and opposed to positive social change
what's not to agree with
no. i STATED that the republicans exhibited their partisanship and resistance to significant social change
nowhere did i mention democrats
do not misrepresent what i have to say
you are barely able to express the ignorance you choose to post. i do not want such misinformed drivel associated with my posts
here is what i said. exactly as it was said
notice, no implications about democrats
Someone tell Reid that it was the Republicans that freed the slaves.
Someone tell Erod the Lincoln would not have been a Republican today.
Anyone who has ever taken a U.S. History class know that the parties have switch sides Left-Right over the years. The Republicans were the liberals and the Dems were the conservatives.
The Dims (no spell error) fought the civil right movement until they so they con never win.
You agreed with Reid....a partisan Democrat.
You obviously have never cracked a U.S. History book. Perhaps you should not comment on matters on which you have no background or understanding.
You might want to do some research on two 'Dims' named Kennedy and Johnson. (Hint: The were Presidents)

i can't stand reid
yes, he is a partisan democrat
he is also a crook
but that i agree with his comments regarding the republican partisanship and opposition to positive change for America's society in no way implies i defend reid or his ilk
as i said before
you are barely able to express your own thoughts
don't even attempt to dissemble mine
i will will expose your lies in every instance
as i have again on this occasion
but that i agree with his comments regarding the republican partisanship and opposition to positive change for America's society in no way implies i defend reid or his ilk
By the way,what positive change are you referring to?
health care reform is the first example which comes to mind
what reforms has the republican party offered up to improve access to healthcare for those who are now without it?
They have offered plenty.

You mean the republican constituency is different from the anti-civil rights and pro-slavery folks?
And how does the fact that the parties have played musical chairs with each-other change the point?

Reid is an elected official, and Senate majority leader, and an asshole.Conservatives express outrage over Reid slavery remarks -- yet routinely claim progressives enslaving America
Conservative media figures have attacked Senate Majority Leader Harry Reid's (D-NV) remarks linking slavery to Republican opposition to health care reform legislation, but have routinely attacked progressives and the Obama administration for creating "slavery" and enslaving the public.
Conservatives frequently accuse Obama administration, progressives of creating "slavery"
For instance:
* Beck: Recipients of federal aid have been "taught to be slaves"
* Beck: Progressive policies create "slavery"; "slavery to government, welfare, affirmative action, regulation, control"
* After ranting about how "illegal immigration is modern-day slavery," Beck compares himself to Ben Franklin
* Beck says he can "make a case" Rathke brothers are "enslaving people through ACORN"
* Beck: "The government's irresponsible spending is turning us into slaves"
* Tax deduction change latest Obama proposal Beck claims "involves enslaving people"
* Beck: "You know what this president is doing right now? He is addicting this country to heroin -- the heroin that is government slavery."
* Beck says of stimulus package: "It is slavery"
* Beck again compares recovery bill to slavery
* On Fox, Forbes' Ozanian refers to Employee Free Choice Act as "pro-slavery bill"
* Breitbart's BigGovernment.com publishes blog post comparing health care reform proposal to slavery
* In rant on health care, Levin equated Senate Finance bill with "economic slavery"
* Limbaugh: Democratic Party "obsessed with your death," "party of abortion and euthanasia, slavery and not liberty"
* Limbaugh's guest host is latest radio host to compare current policies or proposals to slavery

what's not to agree with
I guess its an assumption that these folks tend to stand on the right, traditionally.
And the second point, how is that an assumption why would their having changed places make any difference when its the opposing political forces they represent that have not changed?
