If the election of 1988 were held today...

So what are you doing in the socialist party?

Heh.

I believe that government exists to protect our rights.  Well, one of the rights we have is the pursuit of happiness - we have the right to make a decent living from honest work, and not become the chattle of huge multinational corporations, to be discarded when we no longer fit into the bottom line.

Wake up and look around.  The forces of unbridaled capitalism are taking away the livelihoods of millions of Americans.  Manufacturing in the US is almost dead, because we have to compete with cheap overseas labor, itself abused with attrocious living conditions and miniscule wages.  Our nation is so far in debt that we're being bought up with foreign capital.  So our slavemasters aren't even Americans!  And those of us who can make a decent living live in constant fear of bankruptcy due to lack of or inadequate health insurance.  I make a very nice wage, have no debt, and save about 25% of my income.  But I am one bad illness away from being wiped out financially.

Do you want to go back to the late-19th century?  Do you know what life was like for the common American back then?

You can't escape socialism.  Our schools are socialized.  Our highways are socialized.  Some things just make sense to run collectively.  It's time to re-evaluate our economic ideals and join the rest of the civilized world.

Hey, what do you think about Feingold running for President?

Hey, what do you think about Feingold running for President?

He's twice-divorced and voted against banning partial-birth abortion.  There are Democrats to bring the message of economic revival to the heartland.  Feingold is not one of them.

I really like him, I've always liked him, but there is zero chance of him being elected President.  And his vote on partial-birth abortion really pissed me off.

I didn't realize it was his 2nd divorce. As for partial-birth abortion, it's an ambigious term that include a lot of 2nd trimester abortions, and does not include exceptions for when the women's life was in danger. Anyone who advocates "state's rights" should have been against the ban.
