What would it take to make the GOP a "coalition" party like the Democrats?

[Redfish]

Yes, I agree.

What about food and drug safety? Would you be satisfied if, for instance, meat inspections in Arkansas or Illinois are done with the same rigor they would be in every other state?

How about the Atomic Energy Commission? Is that another bloated federal agency that is way too intrusive? We saw what happened after we deregulated the banking system. How are those Savings & Loan shares doing? And after we deregulated the airlines, I suppose it's tougher to book a flight on TWA or Eastern or Pan Am. So what could possibly go wrong with other industries undergoing deregulation?

Some economic activities thrive under regulation. Regulation does not mean repression. Instead regulation creates a level playing field.

I'm not convinced that Tea Party types have thought their agenda through any deeper than slogan on a bumper sticker.

The problem that you and RW and others on the left have is that you do not understand the tea party agenda.

Smaller less intrusive federal govt does not mean no federal govt

individual freedom does not mean ignore the sick, old, and helpless

Sane fiscal control does not mean cancelling needed programs

lower taxes does not mean no taxes

states rights does not mean no federal laws

Was the country better off when there were thousands of local banks or as now when there are only a few huge mega banks?

was the country better off when there were dozens of airlines or as now when there are a few huge ones?

Competition works, liberalism kills competition.

Freedom works, marxist collectivism does not.

Redfish, American social market democracy is not Marxist collectivism is your first and major error.

You want to show us how our social market democracy is Marxist collectivism?

You cant, because it is not.

I didn't say that we are currently practicing marxist collectivism. That is where leftists and statists like obama are trying to take us. Obamacare is a big step in that direction, its a very good thing for the country that it is a miserable failure so far.

Study the writings of Marx, Lenin, Mao, Castro, and yes, Hitler. Control of medicine is a mandatory first step. See the Lenin quote in my sig.

I don't care if you like the GOP or the Teaparty, but at the moment they are the only ones trying to stop Obama from "fundamentally changing" this country into his version of european socialism.

If thats what you want, fine. But you deserve what it will do to you and your family.

Redfish confesses that we are not practicing collectivist Marxism today.

His supposed quote from Lenin cannot be traced to Lenin at all. The closest one can get is at least twenty years after Lenin's death. "In the book, They Never Said It: A Book of Fake Quotes, Misquotes, and Misleading Attributions, by Paul F. Boller John George, there is section dealing with this: That the Library of Congress was unable to find any record of Lenin ever having said what Lawrence Sullivan claims he said." http://ebookee.org/Paul-F-Boller-Jo...eading-Attributions-quot-repost-_1813982.html

I image that Lenin was guilty of having a major communications and transportation network, and a modern military, and so forth so on.

Redfish, quit quoting Dr. Ben Carson. The guy is a loon.

Collectivism is collectivist.

Obama is collectivist.

Why would anyone be talking about socialized medicine in 1917?

The ONLY party that can win the presidency is THE WELFARE PARTY, aka, the democrats. You guys constitute a clear majority.

.

Since the Republicans have become the party of welfare for the rich they have assumed their proper place in politics

Like I said , the republicans and the democrats are the SAME PARTY - welfare for their respective constituencies.

.

They are not the same party . Your Ron Paul underwear is to tight cutting circulation to your brain.

I cannot find confirmation that Lenin actually said that.

See, unlike you and others on the left, conservatives admit it when they make a mistake. I am sure Dr Carson would do the same thing if asked.
