“I think my message goes out to the entire spectrum of political parties. I'm supported by the Tea Party, the Conservative Party and the Republican Party. I come from a Democratic world.

That's been my world, historically.” IfsThinkingWorldWantPoliticalPartyDogTypeRepublicanMessagesBlueDemocraticDemocratConservativeTeaRepublican PartyPolitical PartiesModeratesSpectrumTea PartyConservative Party Author:Carl Paladino
“The great goal of the backlash is to nurture a cultural class war, and the first step in doing so, as we have seen, is to deny the economic basis of social class. After all, you can hardly deride liberals as society's "elite" or present the GOP as the party of the common man if you acknowledge the existence of the corporate world - the power that creates the nation's real elite, that dominates its real class system, and that wields the Republican Party as its personal political sidearm.” IfsMenWorldFirstsWarRealPoliticalNationsSocialGoalPartyCommonExistenceStepsClassEconomicRepublicanBasesDenyCorporateAcknowledgeElitesFirst StepsNurtureRepublican PartyPolitical SystemsCommon ManGopSocial ClassBacklashCorporate WorldClass System Author:Thomas Frank
“I think that one of the great problems we have in the Republican Party is that we don't encourage you to be nasty.

“The bosses of the Democratic party and the bosses of the Republican party alike have a closer grip than ever before on the party machines in the States and in the Nation.

“I've found him to be a disappointment. Wonderful speech in Egypt, and good intentions aside, foreign policy needs to be firmly grounded in reality, and understanding of a sort of chaos theory...[that is to say] it needs to be part good intention, part political intelligence, and part political savvy and knowledge of international interests and national burdens. President Obama has been extremely short-sighted in this sense, and if he fails, it will be a tragic blow for peaceniks and multilateralists the world over, and a manna from heaven for the Republican party.” IfsWorldNeedsHas BeensRealityPoliticalFoundHeavenUnderstandingPresidentInterestPartyWonderfulFailingPolicyTheoryRepublicanSpeechIntentionChaosInternationalBlowDisappointmentBurdenTragicPresident ObamaForeign PolicyEgyptRepublican PartyGroundedGood IntentionsSavvyShort SightedChaos Theory Author:Munir Butt
