WI-Sen: Marquette: Thompson leading Baldwin by 8

[freepcrusher]

The idea that to the 'traditional American' the difference between Marxism-Leninism and Anglo-American-style tepid social democracy isn't 'gigantic or important' is one of the worst things I've ever heard about American politics and public life.

The democrat party is influenced by Marxism.  It tries to co-opt it into the American democratic tradition.  There's obvious problems with that.  Traditional Americans see the influence and call it what it is.  ...This isn't exactly rocket science, you're just really defensive and paranoid about it.

On the gay front, it is a huge political advantage.

you clearly don't know much world history. Both parties are essentially "classical liberalism" with the main difference being on how it should be carried out. Obviously guys like Chris Dodd or Max Baucus are supporters and beneficiaries of the capital system as they have plenty of connections to the business world.

The Democratic Party has about as much influence from Marxism as the Republican Party has from Nazism.

Both are ridiculously childish claims.

I try to stay away from it, but democrats are playing with fire and I won't let people pretend they aren't.  For instance, tell me how Obama's concept of "fairness" isn't influenced by Marx.  Are say French Socialists influenced by Marx?    

well if you insist then whatever I say is fair game. I could easily argue that the GOP is descended from Billy James Hargis and Fred Schwarz (both of which I doubt you've heard of).
