Don't know what cave Pete Stark has been living in–he's so very wrong in every direction!! On just one issue for example, Social Security–it

wouldn't be in such dire trouble, if Congress had

not repeatedly robbed those funds (replacing the

money with I.O.U's.) for unrelated agendas, FOR

DECADES AND DECADES!!!! Because of people like him, Obama, Pelosi, Reid, Murtha, etc., our beloved country is teetering on the edge of big

time disaster!!!! Factor in, uneducated, illiterate, gullible, politically uninformed people WHO VOTE–well, you do see the problem.

Pray for all of us and hope He's listening!!!!!!

Darvin,

You say that the Democratic party is "terminal." Remember in the last election that nearly half the voters cast their ballot for the democratic nominee. The unfortunate thing is that this is a nation full of people that think the government will "change" things and fix all of their problems. I just about lost all faith in this country to do the right thing.

Any discussion or critique concerning the politics of those on the left must be based on socialist ideology. To refer to themselves as democrats is insulting to every ear as there is nothing democratic about their views. They are socialists and we need to refer to them as such.

In 1927, a six-time presidential candidate on the socialist party ticket, Norman Thomas said the following, "America will never vote for socialism. But under the term "liberalism", will vote for every facet of the socialist program."

I wonder how many self-proclaimed liberals know what they are endorsing?

This is the mindset of the socialist. To the socialist, the people governed are nothing more than the means of funding the government. Since most people would protest having their earnings (for which they have traded a piece of their very lives) confiscated without some benefit, the socialist makes promises of "programs" that will cover everything from medical care to retirement to ensuring that everyone has a nice place to live. But since when has the government done anything that the private sector couldn't have done better or more efficiently? To the socialist, money isn't part of the fundamental right of private property. Democrats say that they only care about "the people" and making sure that "the people" are taken care of. But Goldwater got this right all the way back in 1964….the Conservative is the one who cares about the people and providing the best way for people to succeed. The Socialist only cares about the cost of a person and his or her earning potential. How much can we take away and how much must we give back? Normally, the Democrat socialists are smart enough to use their party-approved euphemisms. Mr. Stark is apparently twice cursed…stupid and wrong.

The democrat party is terminal. They're dying. They've shot themselves in the foot one too many times. They've moved so far to the anti-U.S. left that they can never return. This is a "Stark" reminder for us. Its really time to stop reacting to these poor, pathetic losers and simply ignore them.

Its also time for good, responsible folks to begin the process of forming a new "2nd" party to replace the deceased. If good folks don't fill the void in representation, then scoundrels will see to it. DD
