		<description><![CDATA[Vadum is clearly one of the great morons of the commentator class.  He writes an an entire article saying that the Democratic Party is Socialist without defining socialism.  Even a freshman at the worst college in America would not receive a passing grade if he made that mistake in an introductory Political Science class.  Since Vadum has received an award for investigative journalism, I assume that he has other skills, but defining political parties and their members is clearly not one of them. ]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[I wouldn&#039;t assume that about them, either. Their party affiliation is only a horse they bet on. And I&#039;m not interested in portraying them as monolithically villainous, either. They play an important economic role. But their influence on policymaking is huge--and again, it&#039;s huge no matter the party in office. 
 
It&#039;s that outsized influence on policy, and its damaging effects (which we used to safeguard against)  that I don&#039;t see the Right even interested in addressing. More likely, to the Right, they think these guys should actually be given more free reign for purely ideological (non-rational) reasons. ]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[I&#039;m one who doesn&#039;t assume that Wall Street wheeler dealers are by default conservatives who tend towards the GOP.  In my experience, big time financial moguls are apolitical who can and will dance with any politician they&#039;re convinced can keep the music playing. For the big money players it doesn&#039;t matter so much who&#039;s in office as long as they can keep steppin&#039; on the dance floor. Cynical but true. ]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[People call that limousine liberalism &quot;hypocrisy.&quot; 
 
But what is hypocritical about saying &quot;Yes, I should be taxed more?&quot; 
 
And how is your portrayal of them as champagne-swilling jet setters not class warfare? ]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[I think there&#039;s a small degree of truth in saying the Left puts &quot;blind trust&quot; in politicians, but I don&#039;t think the Left are the only ones who do.  
  
We have just experienced the private sector gambling with large sums of our money thanks to an environment they created via deregulation, losing it out of greed or hubris or stupidity, all the while claiming &quot;they know best.&quot; We can read the emails and phone transcripts of many of these traders expressing open contempt for their clients. And we know this was all done either legally (thanks to lobbying) or without proper enforcement (thanks to the cozy relationship between big banks and gov&#039;t).  
  
Now there are other reasons for the financial meltdown (including gov&#039;t meddling and our own greed).  But by far the most outrageous has to do with the banking system. I think if the Right were to even acknowledge it, it would not only be miraculous, it would make their party unbeatable. Unfortunately, it&#039;s own version of p.c. mandates no ill be spoken of the private sector. ]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[They were not utopians by any stretch.  
 
I wasn&#039;t making a claim for &quot;the MOST anti-communist.&quot; I was showing that two strident anti-coms were dyed in the wool s-l-ists. Orwell, especially, probably did more than any single person to dramatize/popularize awareness of  the totalitarianism lurking behind communism. 
 
Why is the &quot;s&quot;-word a censor-tripper, here, out of all the &quot;-isms?&quot; ]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Why, you aren&#039;t thinking or showing the least bit of logic. 
 
ID laws are not fascist, forcing real voters to tolerate their elections being stolen is fascist.  
 
Corporatist?  Corporations are people, who volunteered and wanted to work together with pooled resources.  Why would people not be a legitimate vote like other people?  
 
You have so many talking points they clash with each other. ]]></description>
