Again this isn't team sports.

The blinders are firmly on if you cannot see were the problem lies.

You keep using team names like Republican and Democrat.
That tells me you have blinders on tight and drink the Kool-aide daily.

Progressive and Conservative.

Progressive, if you research your history, is the same as Socialism and Communism.

Yes there are Progressive Republicans. GW.Bush, John McCain, Lindsey Graham.

There are also Conservative Democrats. They have been labeled "Blue dog"

You will never in your life get it, unless you get off the R & D hang up.
Though it does sound like your here to perpetuate the confusion.

Why does the left think that socialism and communist principles work?

China is becoming capitalist, that's why they are experiencing a growth spurt.

That's why they can afford things like becoming the largest producers of solar panels in the world.

The left just can't grasp the fact that tax revenue increases when more people are paying taxes, not by how high the tax rate is.

The Republicans are as split as pea soup, and they have little to offer for a Presidential candidate. Romney, is the most sane of the bunch, but the fundies would rather die than elect a Mormon. Who else has toyed that they might run? Newt. Good ole Newt, working on his 19th nervous breakdown.
Palin won't run. She likes to tease, but she's too afraid to actually put her money where her mouth is. Besides, her popularity has waned substantially, and she knows her skill is with stirring the pot of her fundie base, not with producing tangible results. The repukes have their work cut out, and they definitely lack unity. They have become the party of two........the business-as-usual repubs. and the the fascists tea cups with the likes of Palin and Bachman. They are so splintered that they gave two separate rebuttals to the SOTU.

Obama is in like Flynn. After the SOTU, Did anyone take note that the Dow jumped to a point higher than it has been since 2008?

Palin and nuts like Bachman are our best friends.

Romney is as Progressive as GW Bush is.
Not Conservative enough for the direction this nation needs to go.

How statesman-like or in this case stateswoman-like is it to use the term "WTF" about anything, much less the president of the US? But then why does this lack of class not surprise me?

She has no solutions for anything---just a lot of catty, little girl trash talk.
Very well said, WW.

The reverse is true because Jews and Christians both try to follow the ten commandments doing the best they can.

Democrats, socialists, progressives, communists and so forth for sure all violate one of the ten commandments by their actions and goals.

"THOU SHALL NOT COVET THEY NEIGHBOR'S GOODS"
Yet they want to confiscate money from the wallet of the other guy so they can spend like crack addicts.

It's too bad Berny Madoff got caught as early as he did, he could have lined Obama up as his biggest investor. Heck, I wouldn't be surprised if he isn't running some money making scheme from behind bars that Obama isn't capable of falling victim to. Gore at least is taking him to the cleaners although even his scam is starting to fall apart.
I don't get people denouncing Palin as being stupid and out of touch and unprepared and at the same time tout Obama as being a strong leader. They're on the same level!
And Obama is most successful when he's aping Bush's failed policies and liberals just lap it up and hoot and holler about how brilliant the guy is.
Bottom line Obama has no ideas on how to turn the country around because if he did his own supporters would abandon him, en masse. So he'll pay them lip service and go with his "no change, no how, no way" agenda until TSHTF and he's left the country a complete disaster. And no, I don't expect the republicans to do more than say " I told you so."
