I don't care what you wish to think. I've know about the affair for some time, as most of D.C.

What prominent national political figures of 2015 are "communists"? Do you even know what a communist is or do you just think anyone who is not a Tea Party lunatic is automatically a "liberal commie"?

You just like to argue, that much is obvious

The Democratic Party is, and always has been center-left. What's changed is that more and more Americans are adopting a center to center-left view of politics.


This mentality is why we keep losing. You can't win elections by insulting and degrading people. Ironically enough the people most dependent on the Federal government are White people in the Deep South and the Midwest.
Really? Then why do the Democrats win ANY elections? All they, and you, seem to do is insult and degrade Republicans and conservatives.

In fact, I have yet to see a post of yours that is even remotely critical of liberalism or the Democrat Party. Please drop the charade.

If I'm not mistaken, there hasn't even been a vote yet. Did I miss something?

Why should McCarthy automatically be the next Speaker? He isn't the right guy, which was obvious when he threw his Party under the bus with his lies about the purpose for the Benghazi investigation, which has always been about getting to the truth, not about damaging Hillary's campaign. After all, when this investigation began, it wasn't known if she would even run. Only some people assumed she would, but she never hinted that she would, and it wasn't until April of this year that she announced.

Someone who lies and in so doing damages the credibility of an ongoing investigation by his own Party isn't worthy of such a high position. He acted stupidly.

They will elect a Speaker, and they are not going to hold an election till they have the votes. Until then, Boehner will remain the Speaker.

And Democrats don't win because they're 'centrist'. They win because they provide handouts and freebies to a mostly politically and financially illiterate populace.
Sanders is a social democrat -- in the European tradition. If you are trying to peg him as a disciple of Marx, you are mischaracterizing the truth.
