Reply #97: The only issue I have is that the "far left" is tough to find lately...

[TreasonousBastard]

although there are a lot of wannabees out there-- the far left was the hardcore Socialists and Communists that have slithered off into the background.

I prefer calling these others the "whiny left" who don't really have a clear political philosophy or ideology but do loudly complain over the latest issue of the day not going their way. Ands refuse to learn how to get their way.

A couple of points could start a lively debate, but it's particularly depressing to see #'s 2 and 3 trashed. One would think that liberal politicians magically appear in conservative districts. For instance, I'm no fan of Ben Nelson, but I don't live in Nebraska so have nothing to say about it and consider the rest of us just a little lucky they didn't put a wingnut Republican in office.

And 1 & 7? Who really wants to argue with that?
