You and I are both human beings. Each of us have arms and feet. Many similar body parts. So what is your point ? The difference is what matters.
Dee said "GHW Bush signed a tax bill that raised taxes a little, and helped us have a balanced budget for the following 6 years. Was GHW a liberal for raisning taxes?" He was a one term President because we read his lips.
Is funny to watch you try and take the high ground. I recall your hatred comments. Maybe you have cleaned your actions. Would be good.
Bill Clinton did not balance the budget. He wanted to expand government. Look to first 2 years of Bill administration then notice after Newt and the boys. Newt gave Bill his bragging rights today.
I recall your past comment, your inclinations now of being appalled are disingenuous in appearance. Cry on someone else’s shoulders not mine.

Every day, all over the net, George Soros funded and paid shills like DeeToo copy and paste the Democrat Party line and propoganda. Full of nothing but lies, half-truths, and fallacies, they attempt to influence the public discourse and keep their liberal "ideals" alive, regardless of resistance of the American People to a left wing socialist government ala the Soviet Union or Eastern Europe.
The Soros Shills like DeeToo (R2D2?) make the same silly points, the same stupid statements, and the same tired arguments, none of which make any sense.
Freedom of speech? Sure. Credible? Not even.
Just like the false accusations of racism and blame thrown out daily by the current poor excuse for an Administration, it's not working any more...
Guess the Democrats will just have to go back to cheating on elections while accusing the GOP of doing it, their usual tactic.
Liberalism is a mental disorder! We should provide treatment and our pity for liberals - not put them in charge of anything! Take the checkbook away from the irresponsible Democrats, and let the adults run the country once again!

Maybe it has something to do with backlash toward the sex in the street parades and the glorifying of gay, transgender and drugged out hedonistic lifestyles that one commonly finds in cities like San Francisco, Portland, Los Angeles and New York.
I guess the rest of the country just can't seem to get with the times.

The American are not one's to be ruled !!! And that is what liberals want. They want the Government to have the last say in everyones lives !!!!!! They think they know what is best for everyone and we should just shut up and go along ! Now what is your point !

Many who say they are against liberals don't really even know what "liberal" is. Many "conservatives" want to spend more than the Dems, just on different things, so does that make them liberal spenders?
Obama is in favor of many things supported by Dwight Eisenhower. Was Eisenhower a liberal? Nixon tried to get single-payer healthcare passed. Teddy Kennedy fought against it. Was Nixon a liberal? Kennedy a conservative? GHW Bush signed a tax bill that raised taxes a little, and helped us have a balanced budget for the following 6 years. Was GHW a liberal for raisning taxes? Isn't balancing the budget supposed to be fiscally conservative? Jimmy Carter andd Bill Clinton both tried to cut back on military spending and decommission old weapons and bases. Isn't that fiscally responsible - trying to balance the budget? Is NOT spending money liberal?
The article, and all those trying to villify things based on labels that ultimately mean nothing are a waste of good air and columns. People who can't see that a label is a lazy way of trying to discredit something without anay real definition have not been watching the news the past two years.
Fools and lazy people like labels.
