But, under the name of "liberalism," they will adopt every fragment of the socialist program, until one day America will be a socialist nation, without knowing how it happened." He went on to say: "I no longer need to run as a Presidential Candidate for the Socialist Party. The Democrat Party has adopted our platform."<BR/><BR/>Norman Mattoon Thomas (November 20, 1884 – December 19, 1968) was a leading American socialist, pacifist, and six-time presidential candidate for the Socialist Party of America<BR/><BR/>Gregg may have been optimistic and <BR/>ambitious at first but after working more closely realized these people are not just Democrats but against American principles, local rule and capitalism, that made this country great. To move the country to their ideology they can't allow independent thinking people to have any power. That's all they are interested in doing is gaining power to impose their will on us because we don't know what's good for us.Jerryhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13292941061948002178noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6398944192135372562.post-38440233142237753442009-02-15T22:03:00.000-06:002009-02-15T22:03:00.000-06:00Len can't admit that Barry's grand plan to hijack ...Len can't admit that Barry's grand plan to hijack the census hit a big snag with Gregg's withdrawal. Barry wanted a Republican to cover his brazen political takeover of a traditionally nonpartisan job. Gregg should never have entertained the job offer, but since he did, it's to his credit that he refused to be the patsy for a blatant power grab.Chris Wysockihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08108985245945494645noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6398944192135372562.post-67957602690953542312009-02-15T20:09:00.000-06:002009-02-15T20:09:00.000-06:00If by "you" you mean me personally..

However flimsy or not was not the real point of the post. It was to get your view on Gregg's withdrawal. However we can talk about this. Perhaps it is viewed as a flimsy attempt since the most important job, the census, was taken away from him, and perhaps the rest of that department's function is viewed as a nonessential waste of taxpayer dollars. While I respect his leaving Gates in as the secretary of defense, I am under the impression that it is on a temporary basis. Either way I have a lot of respect for that decision. <BR/><BR/>My view point came in on potential difference of opinions on the census policy and whether or not the commerce department was even necessary at all.<BR/><BR/>Thanks for stopping by..Amber Sunshinehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08487471617945987354noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6398944192135372562.post-26350544412653120802009-02-15T16:50:00.000-06:002009-02-15T16:50:00.000-06:00Considering that there are already two other Repub...Considering that there are already two other Republicans in President Obama's cabinet, I do not see how you could view this as a "flimsy attempt [to] reach across the aisle and have both Democrats and Republicans in his cabinet."<BR/><BR/>He already has both Democrats and Republicans in his cabinet.Lenhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15770448199092844067noreply@blogger.com
