USA 1, I know exactly where on the political spectrum I stand. It is best represented by the Progressive Democrats of America.

I DON'T ASSERT YOUR POSITION, I offered an alternative to the mainstream Republican party which has yet to endorse what your have had to say.

You cannot insult me with Lies, and that is a simple fact. And you will not insult my positions, you would be exposing your own corruption. Have fun with that, see if you can deny it.

Socialist Party USA - The SPUSA are true democratic socialists -- advocating left-wing electoral change versus militant revolutionary change. Many of the SP members could easily be members Norman Thomas for Presidentof the left-wing faction of the Democratic Party. Unlike most of the other political parties on this page with "Socialist" in their names, the SP has always been staunchly anti-communist. Founded by labor union leader, ex-Democratic elected official and pacifist Eugene V. Debs in 1900, the SP was once a mighty national third party. Debs himself was the SP nominee for president five times between 1900 and 1920. Debs received over 900,000 votes (6%) in 1912 -- the SP's best showing ever. Former minister and journalist Norman Thomas was the SP Presidential nominee 6 times between 1928 and 1948 -- his best showing being 883,000 votes (2.2%) in 1932. The SP also elected congressmen, mayors and other officials throughout the 20th Century (largely during the 1910s through 1950s). The withered and splintered so much that, by the last 1972, it barely existed. The Democratic Socialists of American and the Social Democrats USA --both linked below -- are the other splinter groups from the original Debs/Thomas SP. Activist from the old SP reconstituted the party in 1976 and began to again field SP national tickets for the first time in over two decades. Peace activist and former SP-USA National Chairman David McReynolds was the party's 2000 Presidential nominee, earning ballot status in seven states (7,746 votes - 8th place - 0.01% ...plus a bunch more write-in votes in New York and other states where election officials refused to tabulate individual write-in votes). The 2000 showing was a far cry from the SP glory days, but a major improvement over the party's 1996 showing. For 2004, former Democratic State Senator Walt Brown of Oregon is the SPUSA Presidential nominee. The party's youth wing -- the Young People's Socialist League -- has been in existence since the 1910s. Another official -- and very useful -- SP-USA resource is the Socialist Party USA Campaign Clearinghouse. The SP-USA's Socialist Net is a resource site covering the international democratic socialist movement and the American Socialist Foundation and an SP-USA affiliated educational group.

PEACE AND FREEDOM PARTY - Founded in the 1960s as a left-wing party opposed to the Vietnam War, the party reached its peak of support in 1968 when it nominated Peace & Freedom Party - 1968Black Panther leader Eldridge Cleaver for President. Although a convicted felon and odious personality, Cleaver carried nearly 37,000 votes (ironically, Cleaver ultimately became a Reagan Republican in the early 1980s, and was later a crack cocaine addict in the late 1980s, before emerging as an environmental activist in the late 1990s). Famed "baby doctor" Benjamin Spock -- a leftist and staunch opponent of the Vietnam War -- was the PFP Presidential nominee in 1972. Since then, the small party has largely been dominated by battling factions of Marxist-Leninists (aligned with the Workers World Party), Trotskyists and socialist democrats. The PFP today is small, with activities largely centered only in California. In 1996, the PFP successfully blocked an attempt by the WWP to capture the PFP's Presidential nomination (and a California ballot spot) for their party's nominee. In a sign of the party's serious decline in support, the PFP's poor showing in the 1998 statewide elections caused the party to lose its California ballot status. The PFP finally regained California ballot status in 2003 -- and immediately fielded a sizable slate of candidates. Native American activist Leonard Peltier -- an imprisoned cop killer (or innocent political prisoner, depending on your views) -- was the PFP nominee for President in 2004 (ballot status in one state - 27,500 votes).

I am going to question your comprehension. Again. I made assertions, I am prepared to demonstrate the facts that back up those assertions. Which assertion do you question?
I did not assert that you were a Christian Falangist, I suggested that they agree with what you have said in this forum.
You said you "don't have to insult my positions." Well you better be able to or you are going to have to back away from saying they insult me. EXACTLY WHAT DO I HAVE TO BE ASHAMED OF?

YOU have made the assertion, "you insult yourself with your positions." YOU BETTER PROVE OR RETRACT THAT.

Edekit,

There is no PROVING anything to you. In your mind you actually believe that someone who does not agree with you is a narrow minded uneducated idiot. I have a new word to ASSERT upon you.....you are a LIBERAL ELITIST.

On a different note, i actually watched the democratic debate last night. Your views and demeanor reminds me of GRAVEL.

OK, we have that settled, now what exactly is a "liberal elitist?"

I can't consider myself elitist, I have no power and I seek no power. I am not running for public office, and don't ask favors of office holders. I am not of the elite, I have been a working man all my life.

You really don't get it do you? I DON'T CARE WHAT YOUR OPINION OF ME IS. I COULD NOT CARE LESS IF YOU LOVE ME OR LOVE MY DOG.

If you want to present all the reasons we should be killing and dying in Iraq and Afghanistan BEGIN.

If you want only to call me a liberal elitists. SO WHAT? I don't care if you call me that. I am a liberal. I am not an elitist. Can't be, I have NO POLITICAL POWER AT ALL. None. I am not a candidate for anything, I am a single vote.
But, be aware, I will call you a liar every time you call me an elitist. I can prove that's a lie, just did, will do again if need be.

You regularly dismiss any comment I make with the charge that I am a liberal elitist. I HAVE GONE SO FAR AS TO PUT " I AM A LIBERAL AND PROUD OF IT. WANNA MAKE SONTHIN' OF IT? at the end of every post.

I have not stooped to calling you a "ditto head," the worst insult I can think of. Ditto Heads are proud that Rush Limbaugh thinks for them. I can't prove you are a "ditto head."

I don't call you names. Other than one I can prove applies, and that's "LIAR." You lie. You lie when you call me an elitist.

I think, that if you wish to attack a proposition you should. I think that if you want to attack me, I will DEFEND MYSELF WITH ALL AVAILABLE FORCE. I am no pacifist, not by a long shot. You, and no one like you is going to walk all over me. NOT A CHANCE.

By the way, I had to interpret This "I have a new word to ASSERT upon you." Please tell me if I comprehended correctly. Did you mean, "I have a new ASSERTION about you" etc? If that is not what You meant, I have wasted a lot of space, and a lot of time.
