    You must have misunderstood. I was referring to extremists, not merely those that are more liberal than say, a moderate Democrat. Pelosi, Rangel, Schumer, left, no doubt. Maybe more left than some others, but no extremists by any means. Reid? PLEASE! A Mormon from a conservative state. Hardly extremist. Johnson and Hastings, I've never heard of. Not much in the way of party leaders like you have in the hijacked Republican Party.

    But here you have Rubio, Paul, Cruz, Lee, Bachmann, West, and others. Real fruitcakes and/or whackos. And party leaders, not some near-anonymous congressman. Those who you have, and will, consider for POTUS.

    Is that a joke? Ted "Dr. Suess" Cruz? The three stooges Lee, Bachmann, and West, who give the real Three Stooges a bad name. They can't see "right" with a telescope! The goofy Rand "The Plagiarist" Paul and the continually semi-comatose Rubio, the king and prince of the Tea Party Fooldom.

    Which one of the clowns is your party going to run for President? ANY would be my preference and we'll just have a rerun of the last two elections.

    Nah, Pelosi is a whore in the Congressional church. She stopped the impeachment and investigations of Bush inc. for treason and war crimes.

    Yeah, definitely a conservative hugger.

    Oh please. It's a disgrace to the impressive and admirable leftist tradition to call these people radicals. They are right-wing party hacks who just happen to be on the other side of the corridor to you.

    There is no sense of proportion or scale to your argument.

    Anyone to the left of Harry Reid is so irrelevant as to not warrant discussion. American government spends more of its GDP then commie china and Reid wants more. Who would you put up that has been cronier (new word!) or spends more in the history of all humanity then Harry Reid? Give me one name.

    I sure am no Obama fan, but lets not blame him for something that isn't his fault. Number one, he can't close Gitmo because the Republican Congress won't give him the money to do it. (Thanks Republicans)

    As for the Patriot Act. We some times see things differently once we're in the hot seat (Presidency). Obama and the Democrats, when they controlled Congress renewed the Patriot Act. They did it, as Bush did, because our intelligence has told them that it is vital to our security. We are fighting an unknown enemy that is spread out all over the globe. We don't know who many of them are but we know who some are and if they contact others, either by phone or computer, we want to know who they are. The Patriot Act is what we need to do that, and the President and Congress now know it is vital to have it. That is why neither Democrats or Republicans will repeal it.

    As for using using drones to kill our own people, that isn't true, unless those Americans have left this country and fought for the enemy. Any other reason would be a mistake.

    We need those drones to kill the enemy hiding out in Pakistan. They are hiding there and sneaking across the border and killing Americans and Afgan citizens. It's the safest way to dig them out and save American and civilian lives.

    You really didn't follow the 2012 election closely, did you? The Neo-Cons weren't all that popular in the primary. Between Ron Paul, Hermain Cain and others, the more progressive right was increasing popular. Unfortunately, the more "traditional GOP" gets more coverage, more exposure and Illiterate America(which wouldn't know a political thesis if it hit it in the face) voiced its support for the likes of Santorum and scum.

    So we were forced to gag and choose between the remaining neo-cons, and the direction was Romney. They actually plea'd for the progressive right's support. But a Centrist will never align with a Neo-Con. We have about as much in common as a housefly does to a mosquito. Early projections were that Romney would lose by 6%.

    That's precisely what happened. And I can say it's because the Progressive Right stayed at home. And in my personal opinion as a Centrist-Nationalist, I supported Mitt Romney the economist, not the "president". If Romney had been offered a cabinet seat in the Treasury, that would be an excellent place for a guy of his caliber.

    He just isn't presidential material.

    In political terminology, yes you'd identify "progressive" with the Left. I use the terminology in this case, to mean that they are the future of the GOP.(If a two-party system is to be prevalent, and if the GOP is to be a part of that system).

    The Left, in all irony cannot tell the difference between a Neo-Con(who gets more support from the Belt States) and the Libertarian Right. They honestly THINK we have something in common with these scum. Pfft lol.

    While I like all right wing people, I also think we should stick to the right labels and have been disappointed with the spending neocons are comfortable with.

    I'm a far leftist, and I care little about abusing the fk out of Muslim extremists, I am concerned only with my wallet and pocket book issues, I also care little or not at all about womens, gay and minority issues! I voted for Obama twice, because they said he was a socialist and I wanted a socialist, to deal with health care, education, income inequality and beat down Wall Street in an ugly manner, and he did none of that, because he's a right of center moderate who paid off his big donors! That's why I hate his guts! He could hang the dikhedz in Gitmo from their toes, and I wouldn't give a crap, I have issues with that az whole, but it/s not that stuff.

    Obama and the people that OWN HIM, PAY HIM and COMMAND HIM as to what he must do, are right of center moderates that favor the top 1% over the unwashed masses.

    So NOW you admit that the things Democrats wanted and voted to have implemented were ignorant and short sighted. OK, I can't argue with that!

    Yes, because we all know just because you say something at this true, or you don't even back up with facts means it's true. Using your logic, I can say that all GOPers would love to kiss George Bush's butt. Doesn't it seem kind of silly when we take things to that level of extreme, to somehow say that the opposing side is so extreme that nothing can get done?

    I was on PF when the conservatives here started talking about who they wanted to win the primaries. I had my money on Mitten winning the primaries but losing the election. I don't know f I agree with your terminology to describe everyone but I otherwise agree, that's what happened.
