Just HOW is it "dangerous" to have one-party rule with dems in charge?
Edited on Mon Oct-27-08 07:23 PM by SoCalDem
when it was "all the rage" ,and very much desired for the years that republicans ran the whole show.. and look at what a fine job they did:puke:..

What they forget about is that even WITH one-party rule with dems in charge, MANY of the dems are NOT progressive, liberal or "radical"..

and they also leave out the part about how RIGHT-LEANING the media is, and the SCOTUS is, and all the life-time appointed judges are.. Many of these judges go all the way back to Nixon..

Republicans think they OWN government, when in reality, they are abject FAILURES at governing.

Nixon...FAIL
Ford...FAIL
Reagan... until we get his papers, we'll never know the extent of FAIL
GHWB...FAIL
GWB...FAIL

1. The Repubs only know how to use fear. One trick ponies.

2. Tweety was going on and on about one party rule and how good it would be
so that something can get done and so that when things go wrong its clear whom to blame. Ha, where the fuck was he when it came to blaming the Rethugs when they held all the marbles?

Republicans know how to get in office; they know how to plunder once in office. They know nothing about governing.

5. The maj. of print and TV news media leans left
Right-leaning media? RU kidding me? Maybe radio. The majority of news outlets lean way left. Fox leans right but they are one cable news channel. Network news and most other cable news are liberal by far.

6. I don't know about "dangerous," but it's not actually POSSIBLE.
To have "one Party rule" you'd have to assume that the Party actually voted together, supported the same issues, opposed the same stuff generally, and had some degree of organization or structure to make it work.

Democrats?

Not so much.

And proud of it.

helpfully,
Bright
