My Way News - Romney Continues Assault on Democrats

[hobbit709]

1. And Romney wants to be Vlad The Impaler

[C_U_L8R]

2. Mitt - It's economics for crying out loud

If all you've got to say for yourself is a bunch of name calling
you may as well go home now (wherever the hell home is)

[Gman]

3. They are so ignorant of the differences between Socialism and Marxism

although there is some intertwining, they are both distinct and different. But these uneducated fools speak to the other uneducated fools that will vote for them in the primary and they all look like uneducated idiots. But they look like they're saying something profound to the uneducated fools that will vote for them in the primary.

The inmates truly run the asylum.

[durrrty libby]

6. That's right. They throw out scary sounding sound-bite bombs,

hoping the dopes will chew.

[dugggy]

10. Socialism is worse than Marxism!

I should know since I lived in a socialist country
before emigrating to the US.

[whistle]

4. What is difference whether it is socialism for the wealthy or socialism for the

...poor and middle class, theses repugs should be held to account and called on their lies.

[MichaelHarris]

5. Ya know

the wack sacks on the right, the so-called Religious Right hate socialism for one reason only. Well the smart ones, the dumb-ass one's don't even know who said, "religion is the opiate of the masses". They used that one Marx line to hate an entire nation, an entire political ideology. They used that one line to hate a generation of Russians.

Having said that they are truly too stupid to realize how true that statement really is. Rent checks due? Pray. Baby needs shoes? Pray. 12 pack of Bud too much? Pray.

If it wasn't for these religious nutsacks I wouldn't have so much to laugh at. They truly crack me up.

7. Try the whole soundbite: Karl Marx proposes that it is the opiate as it dulls

severe pain as well as being addictive.

The actual text in English is : "Religion is the sigh of the oppressed creature, the heart of a heartless world, just as it is the spirit of a spiritless situation. It is the opium of the people."

It is not from the Communist Manifesto, that has "A specter is haunting Europe," and "Workers of the world unite!"

The text is from Marx's (sole author, not with Engels) Critique of Hegel's Philosophy of Right

8. I don't think so

I think they do it to raise the spectre of the USSR and the threat of dictatorship, which is closely associated with Marx for obvious reasons.

9. oh my goodness. This is exactly what the

warped right said about bill clintons plan "putting people first" during the campaign, and then once elected he took this economic plan and passed it with the help of Gore. ( shame shame on those dems that voted against his plan in 93) but praise those that did and more praise to those that voted and were defeated because they thought it was the best for America.
Yes HRC will be attacked but one thing HRC will do our last two candidates did not do and that is FIGHT BACK....She already has with Obama twice, and now with the stupid ass from the Defense Dept. She will not let a whole news day go by without responding....
This is what the dems need. A fighter. One that takes no prisoners and one that will heed the expression. "if you going to be a bear, then be a damn grizzley"....

I do thank you

11. Wow, Romney is a nutcase

'Hillary Clinton just gave a speech the other day about her view on the economy. She said we have been an on-your-own society. She said it's time to get rid of that and replace that with shared responsibility and we're-in-it-together society," Romney told the crowd. "That's out with Adam Smith and in with Karl Marx."'

Karl Marx?

Let me quote from another Marxist by Romney's standards:

"Up to 1974, then, (British) Conservative governments made efforts to maintain national cohesion, and nearly all of them saw that the best way of protecting the social fabric was to improve the condiction of the least well-off...For them there were important areas of politics that could not be left to the market without unacceptable social consequences...

Not only in economics was Thatcherism a return to 19th-century liberalism. Public provision was now frowned upon; individualism was all....*In the event, government was not tamed but became more authoritarian, and, so far from market forces proving benign in social matters, citizenship was devalued and society damaged.*

Social policy is generally supposed to be about collective action to enhance welfare and to invest in people. On that definition, Thatcherism scarcely had a social policy...

Nothing in logic, equity or history suggests that the state should confine itself to providing a free market...The relief of poverty, and the maintenance of social well being are not optional extras or luxuries...The welfare state, when properly devised and administered, is not a dead-weight on society; it is the opposite."

From Ian Gilmour: Dancing With Dogma; Simon and Schuster, 1992


Ian Gilmour was a *Conservative* MP from 1962 to 1992.

12. "Starting" to hit her hard? The Right have been incontinent about Hillary since forever.

Her Presidency will be eight years of pain for the Right.
