[edit] What?

How is the democratic party conservative? --Oniontalk/edits 21:12, 28 August 2010 (UTC)

Compared to everywhere that isn't the US. You should look at it as the rest of the world saying "hi" - David Gerard (talk) 22:51, 28 August 2010 (UTC)
He's right, you know. Name one left or liberal accomplishment of the party since the Civil Rights Acts. ħumanUser talk:Human 03:27, 29 August 2010 (UTC)

[edit] Howard Dean

was actually a New Democrat during the 90s. Supported NAFTA and the first Gulf War, fiscal centrist, etc. I suppose he does go in the progressive category since his 2004 run. Secret Squirrel (talk) 22:47, 16 December 2012 (UTC)

Was last connected to the CPC, I remember. Same with Gillibrand, she was a former Blue Dog and then made a shift to the left. Osaka Sun (talk) 23:03, 16 December 2012 (UTC)


[edit] IP Block Response

Interesting that Osaka went to all that trouble to cover up the fact that he accused me of a fallacy he himself had used and I was just responding to concerning Cohen's Law, hiding the conversation, protecting the page, and instituting of an IP ban just to try and prevent people from seeing his little mistake. I'm actually surprised he didn't try archiving the discussion or removing the material, maybe he figured on waiting a day or two in hopes people wouldn't notice.

And all that to avoid addressing the substance of my points that the Democrats were the ones who controlled Congress, I suppose I should be flattered you need to go to such extremes to avoid debating me, claiming false fallacies and seeking to shut down discussion. --Jzyehoshua (talk) 18:06, 4 September 2013 (UTC)

[edit] April 15th

I fail to understand the significance of "April 15th" in the quote attributed to Ronald Reagan. Can someone explain it to me? Or maybe we could have it explained in a footnote. Corpse in the bed (talk) 08:07, 29 July 2014 (UTC)

April 15th is the deadline for filing US federal income tax returns. Sprocket J Cogswell (talk) 08:28, 29 July 2014 (UTC)

[edit] liberal Republicans are Ike Republicans?

Jesus, who wrote this crap? Nixon must've been a liberal Republican, and Rockefeller a communist. nobsOne who's been there.

"Nixon must've been a liberal Republican." Well... Osaka Sun (talk) 21:24, 5 December 2014 (UTC)
