The Tea Party is supporting Jeb Bush (top fundraiser so far)? And the TP clearly does not have much influence. If they did Boehner would be gone.I look at the GOP "base" as the section of the party with the most energy and influence, for better or worse.Bullshit.Yep, both parties are now totally controlled by their bases.The majority of voters are registered as independent, it's like they don't exist to either of the 2 parties.It's pretty clear that the question will soon be "what's the difference between a social democrat and a socialist"?
The progressives are essentially social democrats, looking to countries like Sweden & Germany as role models, so their task is to draw a distinct line between that and a more pure socialism. That can probably be done.
The Democrats have moved left, the Republicans have moved right, and the rest of us are standing in the gaping hole.
.
Are you suggesting the same "base" that supports Jeb Bush (biggest fundraiser to date) also supports Donald Trump (currently polling #1)? What base would that be? And does the same base control Scott Walker (in top 3) or George Pataki?
Right now, that's the group that identifies most with the Tea Party.

This is HILLARIOUS! Chris Matthews is obviously a shill for HILLARY!, but it is quite amusing to see him nail Debbie Wasserman Schultz. She will not answer his question to tell the difference between being a Socialist and a Democrat.
She doesn't say she "doesn't know". She evades the question.
And rightly so --- you can't possibly answer that question in the 0.4 seconds of space Droolmaster Matthews allows for responses.
Piffle. You can try to spin it however you wish, but she clearly looks dumbfounded when asked the question.
There's nothing to "spin" -- have you ever watched Chris Matthews? He doesn't do interviews. He does monologues with question marks that can't be answered because he's already talking over the second word of your response.
Everything that's wrong with television dumb-down is encapsulated in that spittle dripping out the side of his mouth. Superficial bullshit.
Debbie did his show. If she wasn't up for handling the questioning, she shouldn't have put herself in that position.
But it really was GRAND!
We need more such interviews and spectacles featuring her. Between her and Hillary, the nation is getting a good idea what the Dems are all about.
I don't think you do Matthews to "handle the questions". Even Superman couldn't do that using his Kryptonic powers of Super-Speech. You do it for the same reason you do any other TV show -- face time. You prolly put one good sound bite together, practice saying it real fast before the red light (symbolic, that) goes on, and then hope to blurt it out real quick when a fly lands in his eye. That's about all you can hope for.
I dunno Boe, if you're looking for intelligent life on a TV screen.....
Pop quiz: what's the difference between liberalism and conservatism? You have 0.4 seconds... GO. Time's up.

Which definition of Liberalism? If you mean Classical Liberalism, it's similar to Burkian (real) Conservatism - as in a sea of individual rights with islands of limited government power.

Sanders' presence and popularity obviously establishes the Democrats' ideological proximity to "socialism", and their denials are pretty silly. Whatever.
However, I think he's a democratic socialist, which is not the same thing. If the Republicans can't figure that out and deal with at that level, they're going to start giving "socialism" a better name in this country.
There's a distinction there, and I can't tell if the Republicans see it. Can they?
Agreed, and I'll bet the conservatives are making a mistake by not seeing the distinction.Sanders' presence and popularity obviously establishes the Democrats' ideological proximity to "socialism", and their denials are pretty silly. Whatever.

The issue is that the term "Socialist" has been perverted into an emotional hot button that has little to do with its actual essence (see also "communist", see also "liberal") and thus has to be defined before any such examination can ensue -- which cannot be done in the 0.4 seconds allotted, even with the digital compression they use in advertising. It's impossible.
I doubt if 20% of the wags on this board could define these terms even without a time limit. That's part of the dumbing-down of discourse, the superficial crapola that hacks like Matthews only accelerate with their hackneyed hackitude.

While we continue to slowly lose our freedoms with continued elections of the socialists aka big government who are in both parties.

No you didn't. All you could do was to ask for a definition of the question, and even that exceeds the allotted Chris Matthews spittle time. That's the point. It can't be answered in that context.
It's like saying, "we've only got ten seconds before commercial but before we go, what's the meaning of life?"
Classical liberalism believed that government was a bigger threat than Capitalism. The horrors brought on by Capitalism in the Industrial Revolution proved them wrong once and for all.

The above poster said earlier today that the power to discriminate and deny rights should be returned to the states;
that's a perfect example of what a perverse definition of 'freedom' the RWnuts have come up with.
