Here's some Obama history from the 'New Party', Chicago Democratic Socialists of America:

Quote:
…the NP’s ‘96 Political Program has been enormously successful with 3 of 4 endorsed candidates winning electoral primaries. All four candidates attended the NP membership meeting on April 11th to express their gratitude… Barack Obama, victor in the 13th State Senate District, encouraged NPers to join in his task forces on Voter Education and Voter Registration.

Does she know that Barack Obama, according to his book "Dreams of My Father" was born six months after he says his parents were maried. No
marriage certificate exists in the state of Hawaii for Stanley Ann Dunham and Barack Hussein Obama. According to a friend of Stanley Ann, she and Obama never had a legal marriage but she gave her bastard son the biological father's name.

When Maxine Waters calls for the government to take over the oil companies, thats not supporting communism? She even called it socialism and had no problem supporting it.

Is Maxine Waters calling for state control of the entire economy and is she a single authoitarian power? And is Maxine Waters the entire Democratic party? Scale might be a bit off since this poll was about the entire Party and its platform.

The thread is about the "democratic Party" and last I checked, Democrats are also supported the federal government taking over health care, along with various other parts of society so yes, pointing out how someone who has been in power for numerous years, a member of the Democratic party who makes no attempt to hide their communistic thoughts is right on topic with the thread.

He worked in the auto industry for 32 years in the US before retiring and voted for Nixon, Ford, Reagan, GB sr, Bob Dole, etc. He is voting for Obama because he fears the erosion of rights that has occured under the Republicans in the last 6 years. So when you raise the spectre of communism, be sure you are speaking in purely economic terms, because the cold war warriors may interpret your poll differently.
jane well my parents are from Communist Cuba and Americans don't have a clue. Senator Obama is not a Socialist or Communist he is far from that. I understand that young man from Poland and politics in the US is basically economics now. Go live under oppression where you don't have a choice and some bureucrat can throw you in jail just for thinking the wrong way.

Last time I checked, our ancesters did that already and it didnt work out. Thats the reason they came here and formed a country that was supposed to be free from opression.

While our opression is no where close to Cuba.. who can fault us for trying to keep it that way?

Just because Obama isnt outright proposing that the government take over the country, that doesnt mean that slowly our rights havent been taken away over the last 20 years. One step here, one step there, soon you know, the ultimate goal has been accomplished.

We are americans, and we are allowed to fight the taking of our rights and the demands placed upon us by our government. We will eventually lose, and when we do, the USA will stand for even less then it stands for today, which is a far cry from what it stood for 200 years ago.
