One party with two right wings. Correct.

Carter had Nixon’s domestic problems and legacy.With a touch of the jealous Ted Kennedy and the Democrat Senate Klan that triped the Carter addminstration that started the ball bounceing dragging the American Citizen to jobs without benifits cuts in pay don’t worrie the middle class will pay for your Insurance and food stamps.Who wants a good paying job.The selfesteam, taxes your able to pay or the ablity to grow your retirement.Who really wants a good paying job where you produce goods we use every day.China does such a good job at that.

Leaving aside the fact that your comment about “Hillarycare”, while perhaps technically correct, is woefully incomplete and misses the major differences between the plans in toto, what’s your point?

No one I know is against mandates per se. They are against mandates that come without a robust and open-to-all public option that makes the system on of the commons rather than one of profit for the skimmer industries like big insurance.

Whether Hillary Clinton’s plan included mandates is entirely irrelevant to the current debate.

The problem is the run-away, big-brother, nanny-state government
that is responsive to the Corporate Big Money, not the voters.
The Republicans love the Massive Federal Government for their wars of foreign interventions.
The Democrats love the Massive Federal Government for their one-size-fits-all social programs.
It’s all unconstitutional as there are only 23 enumerated powers given to the Congress.
Let the revolution begin.

Exactly my argument OFG. Glad to see it stated so succinctly.

OMG! Shadegg is my rep. This is the very first time I agree with him. I guess it goes to show that prayer does affect change. One down, two to go.

do you mean the “republican wing” of the party?

maybe I am confused, but I have been operating under the assumption that we have a One-Party system here in the US, but that it has 2 wings: the “democratic’ capitalists & the “republican” capitalists…

Is that not correct?

So this is the pattern, from here ’til collapse: The Democrats take over until they blow it, then the Republicans take over until they blow it, then the Democrats again, then the Republicans again…

The Democratic party today is further right than it was during the 90s. Obama is to the right of Clinton’s DLC.
