    It is absolutely not hyperbole. I say exactly what I mean and mean exactly what i say. The "few if any" is referring to those ideals that the Dems may disagree with the Communist Party.


    Again click on this link and tell me what if any does so the Dems disagree with:

    Can you show me where the Democratic Party supports this please?

    I don't recall a plank in any Democratic platform calling for the end to free enterprise.

    Now your original claim was the goals of the two parties were virtually word for word. It should be easy enough to find the Democratic nearly word for word equivalent to this.

    Cynthia McKinney said she would support the government taking over the oil industry.

    The Dems as a whole wants to take profits from the oil companies and any big business to redistribute them to "the working class".

    Their policies are anti-free market, marxist, and shameful

    I missed where they want to nationalise these industries. Taxing profits is not even close to 'word for word' the same as nationalisation.

    I also was unaware that Cynthia McKinney spoke official Democratic Party policy.

    Could you please point out where the Democratic Party wants all colleges to be free please?

    Just grabbed a couple of issues in a quick read-over of your link.

    It doesn't get any closer. The government is confiscating the profits because they believe the "working class" deserves them more than the companies.

    McKinney has recently moved to the Green Party. But her views are mroe of the same as Obam, Clinton etc. Take from the rich, that which belongs to them, and give to the poor, that which they do not own nor did they work for, because they deserve it more. This is Marxism 101

    Okay now that you have made it clear that taxing all profits is communistic I see that both major parties are communist. If that is your contention I might agree.



    Let's have quotes from Obama, Clinton or the party itself that calls for nationalisation of the oil companies. That was your original contention that the goals of the two parties are virtually word for word the same, not the words of a former Democrat who is now Green. If you contend the Greens are similar to the Communists I might again agree with you.

    This is some of the information I posted years ago on the BB regarding the Progressive Caucus of the Democratic Party (which is updated from my original sources):

    There is no doubt that there are socialists in the Democratic Party, but that is not the topic of this thread.

    There are fringes in every group.

    While I am not happy with the Repbs this is a false assertion about them.

    I see you skipped over the rest of my point. And let me say that I should have originaly worded it as "point by Point' rather than word for word.

    Again windfall profit taxes are communist in nature. Wanting to tax the rich with a higher percentage is communist. It clearly fits with Marx's ideology. As far as McKinney she was a Dem who switched to the green party to get the nomination.

    The Congressional Progressive Caucus (CPC) is a caucus of progressive Democrats, and is the single largest Democratic caucus in the House of Representatives. Hardly a fringe group.

    Please define what the topic of this thread is, then, if socialism in the Democratic Party is off topic. Maybe I missed something.

    Well, to be honest, we have all been off topic for a while.

    The topic of the thread was that the CPUSA, a petty organisation 0.01% of the American population supports Obama. It really had nothing to do with the supposed similarity between the CPUSA and the Democratic Party at the beginning.

    Forgive me - I was wrong. I just reread the OP and that was part of the discussion.

    I apologise.

    I provided you with the link to the CPUSA webite and their "Bill of Rights Socialism." I assume you have the ability to find both BHO's official campaign website and the DNC's official website so you and read the info for yourself.

    The question is not how many members are in the CPUSA. The question is how many Communists are actually members of the DNC radical left and are pushing their Socialist Agenda?

    California’s most influential black lawmaker, Democrat Representative Maxine Waters, made the threat during recent congressional hearings with oil company executives. She said the federal government would take over their industry if they failed to do something to stop the escalating price of gasoline.
    Waters told the president of a major oil company to “guess what this liberal would be all about? This liberal would be all about socializing -- uh, uh, would be about basically taking over and the government running all of your companies.”

    BHO’s Education Plan:
      • Create the American Opportunity Tax Credit: Obama will make college affordable for all Americans by creating a new American Opportunity Tax Credit. This universal and fully refundable credit will ensure that the first $4,000 of a college education is completely free for most Americans, and will cover two-thirds the cost of tuition at the average public college or university and make community college tuition completely free for most students. Obama will also ensure that the tax credit is available to families at the time of enrollment by using prior year's tax data to deliver the credit when tuition is due.
      • Simplify the Application Process for Financial Aid: Obama will streamline the financial aid process by eliminating the current federal financial aid application and enabling families to apply simply by checking a box on their tax form, authorizing their tax information to be used, and eliminating the need for a separate application.
