85. I have questions
Edited on Mon Jul-18-11 08:54 AM by TomClash
Exactly which "Far Left" policies do the voters reject? And what percentage of the total number of policies does that consist of?

Which politicians on the "Far Left" are we talking about?

I suppose I'm on "the far left" and I come into contact with the poor and working class every day. How do you explain that?

I read a lot of blanket and trite assertions in this piece but where are the facts to support them?

What is the role of corporations and media conglomerates in all this? Don't they play a role in framing the debate more conservatively due to their power and money?

When you disrespected Ted Kennedy I stopped reading. Bad back and all, that guy stood for hundreds of hours in at his brother's chair on the Senate floor to fight for an increase in the minimum wage, which he succeeded in obtaining. We have catastrophic health care because of him. There are hundreds of other progressive laws that bear his imprimatur.
