How electable would a far-left presidential candidate be?

[AvgGuyIA]

It would be a refreshing change to have Sarah Palin as our next President.

 

[DriftingSand]

It's nonsense that Obama was elected twice? Where the hell have you been?

Obama is so moderate that the far left, the Socialists, and the Communists won't claim him. How long will it take you to figure this out? He is Moderate Left, that's all, and it's why he won, twice.

If Obama could get away with it he'd be and outright Marxist dictator.

That's so damn dumb there is no response. Grow up.

You CAN'T refute it. That's why there's no response.

You can't refute the utterly stupid, that you got right.

I think you mean to say that the utterly stupid can't refute the truth. It's why you're still dancing.

What you guys need to understand about this far-right/far-left comparison is that the moderates are now seen as the far left. The reason is because the far right has moved further to the right. It's no longer about tax cuts and strong defense...it's about invading other nations that didn't attack us and secession and civil war if they don't get their way.

Whether or not the Democrats can hold the left wing is not important in this binary system...who else would they vote for? That the GOP willingly gives up the middle is likely the key reason that it has won exactly one popular vote since 1992.

LOL. The "far right" can't move any "further right." I'm as right (correct) as I've ever been. The problem is that today's GOP is yesterday's Democrat Party and today's Democrat Party is yesterday's Socialist Party.

[depotoo]

His history showed he was a progressive, but he attempted to distance himself from his past actions, and the media helped him in that regard.

We talk a lot about right-wingers being unelectable in a general election. Is America ready for a presidential candidate who's going to fight for unisex bathrooms in K-12 schooling (you nuts can go to hell), go to war on gun rights, present plans for wealth distribution, and fight against the freedom parents have to raise children according to their religious beliefs?

Got to get rid of that "belief kids belong to their parents rather than the community" (WTF LOL)

It's a shame Hillary's got 2016 in the bag. It's going to be a long time before we see a competitive Democratic primary where the candidates need to out "progress" each other. This is a touchy issue the Right has had to deal with for a while but the left has been able to generally avoid.


Gonna be fun to watch Dems and Hillary pretend she's a passionate progressive rather than a left-leaning centrist though

Apparently, they're pretty electable considering the fact that Obama was elected for a second term.

BO doesn't campaign on far-left ideology

Yes he does and yes he did. He's the most leftist, traitorous Marxist this nation has ever had to endure.

I wouldn't call supporting gay marriage (and some general LGBT causes) and insurance reform campaigning on far-left views. He may personally have far-left views, but I wouldn't say he campaigned on them.

Seriously? Who sent us into Viet Nam? Who sent us into Korea? Look at Clinton's list
Bosnia 1993
Haiti 1994
Croatia 1995
Zaire 1996
Liberia 1997
Albania 1997
Sudan 1998
Afghanistan 1998
Iraq 1998
Yugoslavia 1999
Yemen 2000

The fortunes of this generation were forever changed by the needless deaths of thousands of servicemen and women; the blowback from the hundreds of thousands of needless deaths of Iraqis and Afghans at the hands of George Bush is not yet know. The only "known known" of whatever happens in the future in terms of payback for our great Iraqi mis-adventure is that you guys will blame the Democrats for it. The GOP is never responsible for anything.

You're comparing drone strikes to the commitment of tens of thousands of soldiers. I'll take hypocrisy over naivety any day.

 

[depotoo]

So, the fact more have been killed under Obama than Bush, means what?
And no mention of the US deaths from Truman's Korean excursion or LBJ's into Viet Nam.
Korea- Us deaths 33,686
Viet Nam- US deaths 47,424
Afghanistan under Bush 575, under Obama 1779

"How electable would a far-left presidential candidate be?"

He wouldn't be electable at all, just as a far-right candidate wouldn't be electable.

Americans despise extremism, be it left or right.

So why are the Dems itching to have Liz Warren and Bernie Sanders run?

Well, at least you moved your silly diatribe up to the 60's....fifty years ago. It reminds me of the chuckle I get when you guys bring up Ted Kennedy when women's issues arise.

So what are you saying...we should have let the Nazi's rule Eurpoe and Japan bomb Pearl Harbor uncontested? Is that the principle your grasping for so desperately in trying to salvage what little hope you have left to score some points?

Romney is not conservative. SHow me one person in the GOP who said he was.
I appreciate your compliments about my expertise, esp coming from a tranny like you

You're the authority on black cock...you mention it every time you can for some reason. I think you were probably a crack baby or started smoking the pipe at the early age if you know what I mean.

Who says he's a conservative? Mitt Romney for one.
