Again, there are no extreme liberals in office as we speak. The media always claims there is but there isn't, and gerrymandering is a corrupted sytem. You can say what you want, hold your opinion as true but the facts are still there in plain sight.

Ok... here is what I got out of your statement "I'm right even though I have no proof and nobody else agrees with me...?

Even really liberal people admit their are liberals in congress.   Unlike most conservastives, who actually feel there are no conservatives in washington... which is the real reason the tea party was formed.  Lack of fiscal conservatives.

What's your point with the map?  That the Democrats got killed because they pursued an extremely unpopular and very liberal agenda?  

My point is arguing with people like you - who are afraid of mexicans, still think pot is like meth, view gays as second class citizens, and screach out "tax cuts" but we all know its for the rich, don't beieve in science or global warming would not be an issue, and think that god will come to America one day - is fun. Glad I only have to hat you and not live among you.

Bahahaha. You really don't know who're talking to.

Kasz posts a lot on politics and such. Go to his post history and spend a little time reading before you throw out some ridiculous labels and generalizations.

Yeah, that's always a funny... the random generalzations.

FYI Teo.  For legalization of Mariujana... which i believe i said in this thread.  (Edit: Yep I did... in this thread 2) "It will fail because everyone who would vote for it will be high and forget to vote. (not joking, i know a bunch of people like this)   Hope it passes.")

And for Gay marriage.

As for Tax cuts... yeah tax cuts generally are one of the few things governments can do that have shown to be effective at boosting economies.  Of course it's really pointless if you don't match that with spending cuts.

As for the "afraid of mexicans" that's not even worth dignifying.

Currently a lot of liberal economists are saying the new round of quantative easing is STILL not enough.

So, a over TRILLION dollars total being injected into the economy isn't enough to fix it....

At this point even if Kensyian economists are right and you just need to spend more money to get an effect, the amount of money you'd need to spend is so comically high it makes the idea of cycle economics a joke.

How are we going to save up these trillions of dollars?

I'm your basic socially liberal, fiscally responsible type of person.

Which ironically is generally show to be on average the smartest and most successful. (Though i'm far from successful personally.)

Did somebody say that there are no liberal democrats?  wth

So, because Kasz argues - correctly - that gerrymandering benefits incumbents and not simply conservatives, you presume to extrapolate his every political belief from this? That's pretty fucking batty.

I wish I could say I'm surprised that you hate someone (even if you can't spell the word) who dares to disagree with you, but of course, this is sadly very common among the "tolerant" crowd.

My guess would be that he himself is very liberal.

There is a very well known phenomena that people generally unknowelegable about something will without a doubt place themselves right in the middle of the pack.

Rich, poor or middle class, if they don't know the average salary they'd say they are "Middle class".

People usually describe themselves as "Slightly above average looking" etc.

I imagine he thinks there are no "super liberals" in congerss because he agrees with the most liberal democrats.

So you're saying that Dennis Kucinich isn't even among the Top 100 most liberal people in the House because you've heard from other people in his district that they don't like him? Do you have an actual list that might rank the House members in some way as to support your claim? I'll take Political Compass, I don't care. I'd just like some actual proof.

Also, Kucinich was hated when he was a mayor too. But that's an entirely different matter.

His voting record in 2008 was the 187th most liberal according to the National Journal. Their more recent vote ratings are behind a paywall, but if anything he has probably moved down and not up over the past couple of years.
