    It has always been a free pass on the Democrats — no accountability, nothing.

    Tax cheats are welcome and even promoted. Others with ethical issues — Barney Frank, Chris Dudd, Clintons, etc., are exempted from the house ethics laws, never mind their own conscience (they dont’ have any).

    But most of all, it’s the people who actually put these losers who are wrecking our lives into office that I really hold responsible.

    Want to know what’s really going on here?

    This is how they think…

    “I was early convinced that socialism was an excellent way of life, but I thought it might be reached by various methods …Today I have reached a firm conclusion: Capitalism can not reform itself; it is doomed to self-destruction. No universal selfishness can bring social good to all. In the end communism will triumph. I want to help bring that day.”

    W. E. B. Du Bois requesting membership in the Communist Party USA, 1961.

    Join the Party of change, struggle and commitment to freedom and equality, the CPUSA

    Our country is facing its greatest crisis since the 1930s. At the same time, the moment is filled with great hope and possibility. The crisis was caused by capitalism and Wall Street greed. The solution to it is being born in today’s unprecedented mass movement for change.

    Capitalism breeds racism, unemployment and war, but it also creates the possibility for solving these problems, but not without struggle involving millions of working-class people. The Communist Party understands this and has a program that calls for fundamentally transforming our society and using its great wealth to meet human needs.

    Today we believe that all people – Black, Latino, Native American, Asian and white – must unite and fight for an economic recovery that puts peoples needs before corporate greed. This recovery must be one that places affirmative action and good paying union jobs at its center.

    Today, the CPUSA is involved at the grass roots in the fight to bail out Main Street, not Wall Street. We are also involved in the fight to end the war in Iraq, and in the movement for national health care, ending immigrant bashing, police violence and anti-LGBT hatred.

    • If you want to work for an end to racial and class injustice: JOIN THE PARTY!

    • If you are tired of our government’s imperialist policies of war and aggression and want peace: JOIN US!

    • If you are for an end to poverty, unemployment, homelessness and hunger: JOIN!

    We are confident that a new society whose values go beyond capitalist profit and greed is possible. Join the party and help make Bill of Rights Socialism a reality.

    I heard one Dem (forget who it was) who went on the floor after the vote to explain his “no” vote. For him, there just was not nearly enough for schools and social programs. But, it was the tax cuts that really tweaked his nose.

    I guess at least one of the Democrats who voted “no” did so because the bill wasn’t Socialist ENOUGH!

    It seems that some republicans want to go back in time, to the early 1790s, and have a 1 party system again. Heck, they can even resurrect an old party name from that era…the democrat-republicans. It would seem fitting.

    The only ones who really know what’s in it are the Communist Party members who wrote it.

    What President Ronald Reagan rightly called the “Evil Empire” is not just about the Soviet Union/Russia. It’s about Socialism/Communism in any country where it operates.

    The “Evil Empire” (the Democratic Socialist Communists) are in control of our government. And while they completely own the Democratic party, they also have a significant presence in the Republican Party.

    Shame on the traitorous three that crossed over. I wonder which one turned for the least amount of money from Der Fuhrer? Any Republican who voted for this anti-American socialist/Marxist “wish list” should be thrown out of the party and have immediate recall proceedings started in their home states. They were elected as Republicans to follow Republican ideals. They have turned and acted in their own interests and not of their constituents. Recall them NOW!
