With the current liberal demcrat party just about everyone would be called too right, but when compared to the right your quite a lot left.

basically the only way you're getting a left wing activist judge in there is if Bernie Sanders wins and wins a majority in the senate as well.


The Republicans should be forewarned: obstructing a President from fulfilling his constitutional duty of appointing a new Supreme Court judge might just backfire on them come their own elections.


Being as they threw out decorates and elected republicans with the he idea of preventing obama's over reaching left leaning goals,I pretty sure they'd love their elected representatives not allowing a liberal appointed to the court there for killing all freedoms we have left.

We can only pray the next judge is a right leaning conservative.


Well, then be prepared to not only say goodbye to Obamacare, but possibly also the rest of the social safety net. Conservatives have never been on the side of the needy or disabled.


Do you have Obamacare, Kraichgauer?

Matter of fact, I do. And contrary to what you righties say, I have few complaints, as having no coverage would be considerably worse.

I actually consider myself right down the middle.

I'm a registered Independent. I have conservative-type views. I have liberal-type views.

I would say my politics depends upon my situation, and how the candidates affect my situation.

most people opposing universal care either don't know or care just how generally unaffordable private healthcare/insurance is [outside of the gov't exchanges], as they generally are either already wealthy or well-covered by an rich employer-provided Cadillac plan that covers everything. IOW "I got mine, to hell with you!" a basic plan for somebody my age [with pre-existing conditions] would cost nearly a thou per month. that is equivalent to a full-time after-tax minimum wage all by itself!

When did I ever threaten to hurt you, or anyone, for that matter?!?!?!
As for your earlier posts:
Conservatives are the ones who often could care less about the less fortunate, and who often hate anyone different.
And the chosen? Who might that be?
As for veterans - - both parties in fact, in the words of Ricky Ricardo, "have a lot of 'splaining to do," in treatment of veterans. But again, it's people just like you, who legitimately need the social safety net, who conservatives call eaters and takers. Do you seriously want to align yourself to people who despise you just because they filled your head with paranoia that your guns are going to be taken from you? By the way, they're not.

Never said you'd did, though nights still young.

The left doesn't give one rats ass about me and other less fortunate if they aren't liberals. And even liberal less fortunate so they could care less. They care about votes and cooperate bribes. Money money money.

Omg you are so biased and refused to listen to anything I say. It's the left coming out and saying "we want to ban all guns" that scares gun owners!! !! !! !! !! ! Go tell you party to back the f**k off s out guns, never ever ever again mention gun bans, gun tell, common sense gun control or any other related wording they use and through their eleitist anti gun agenda in the trash and maybe then we can talk about other stuff.

this all reminds me of the story of the union man, the worker and the CEO who walk into a room with a table that has a plate of cookies on it- the CEO gobbles all but one of the cookies, then whispers to the worker, "psst, watch out for that union man, he wants a part of your cookie."


When the right tells the story, the CEO is the hero, and the working man needs saving from the union man.


Except the left works for the same CEO. Obama and the left have helped out tons of rich billionaires screw over America. Given ton of bail outs and forgiven tons of companies debt all why screwing over the little guy. Do you think Bloomberg and his billionaire friends give a rats ass about any of us lower peasants who live in the mud. Nope if they did they'd be spending their money to help people Bloomberg alone could get every homeless person off the street into homes and provide them with liver able incomes and still be filthy rich. Instead they stockpile their wealth in banks and buy fancy expensive boats the size of small nations which they almost never even use. So don't act like your side is so wonderful and pretty of the peasants,p. Neither party is they both work for the rich 1% and only goal is to make themselves richer. Congress gave themselves pay raises while millions live in the street and soldiers are paid crsp. Why does a senator deserve 200,000 a year on top of their millions of cooperate payoffs,

They should make a thousand s month and have to work other jobs. They serve at our pleasure not to make tons of money. It's a duty not a job.

I really, really don't want Trump to be President, though. I'd rather have Ted Cruz (whom I really don't like) than Trump.

I generally oppose universal healthcare. Most individuals when they are healthy or fit would see little benefit in having their taxpayer money utilized for health services when little attention is given to them. Ultimately, the choice to get any form of health insurance should be an economic discretion by an individual who calculates his or her risks and forms a final, and intelligent, decision on that matter.

You must not know Ted then.

He shouldn't even be eligible to hold the office

People will come around with Trump, the guy busts balls and its obvious to me but I guess not to all shocked gasps up in the peanut gallery.

I have certain views. Whether they are "liberal" or not is really up to an individual.

I would call myself "socially liberal," but somewhat financially "conservative."

I believe in the national security of our nation--I believe we have to keep track of certain people (not because they're Muslim--but because they are radicals) but I do believe that many immigrants, if they are paying their taxes and not bothering anybody, should have a chance to be American. The reason why America is a great country is because of immigration. That's what makes us unique.

Like I said, I can't stand Cruz--but I'd rather have HIM than Trump. Cruz caused our Government to shut down. I get scared when the Government shuts down.
