"We Won!" (Communist Party USA headline/story openly heralds Obama victory)
Peoples World (Official Paper of **Communist Party U.S.A.**) ^ | 7 November 2012 | Stewart Acuff, People's World Writer

Though many of the state margins were narrow President Obama ran the table winning every swing or battleground state with the possible exception of Florida where votes are still being counted as of 5:30 this morning.

President Obama also won the popular vote by 2 million votes. The President won 303 electoral votes to 206 for Romney. We knew about 11 pm that the President had won when Ohio was called for him.

Democrats also held the Senate. Elizabeth Warren won with a good margin in Massachusetts. Claire McKaskill won in Missouri beating Akin-he of the legitimate rape comment. Joe Donnelly also won in Indiana beating Republican Mourdock. Warren won by eight percentage points. Donnelly won in Indiana by 6 percentage points. Sherrod Brown won re-election. Tammy Baldwin won becoming the first openly gay Senator. Democrats picked up seats in the Senate.

Progressives like you worked their hearts out all over America for our people, our country, our president, and progressive Democrats. We fought and beat the tea party, the oligarchs and massive rich, Karl Rove's strategy, ALEC, the Koch Brothers, and all those who would tear down democracy and destroy the middle class and the labor movement. Women spoke strongly. Latinos spoke strongly. The LGBT community spoke strongly. And AFRICAN-AMERICANS fought back against the neo-poll taxes and disenfranchisement.

And as always our labor movement provided the President a foundation of support, energy, and strong presence.

The truth for progressives is that we are slowly winning the battle of ideas, future constituents, policies of justice. This election was won with progressive constituencies and a PROGRESSIVE AGENDA.

The President won with huge healthcare reform that we must continue working on and commitment to the middle class and acommitment to workers and unions and collective bargaining.

Republicans wake up this morning scratching their heads realizing they have lost 5 of 6 Presidential popular votes.

Now we must begin to think about how we build on this great victory to build a big struggle on America's biggest issues - inequality, investment in America and jobs (the agenda Dr. Richard Levins and I laid out in Getting America Back to Work), collective bargaining, honoring workers, respect for every person in America.

We in the labor movement must continue to protect and expand collective bargaining - and to lay the foundation for the opportunity to create a struggle and perhaps a movement that addresses the economic issues of the middle class and THE POOR. We have to think outside our membership and act like the voice of all working families embracing new forms of organizational structures that work when the all or nothing NLRB fails or is irrelevant. We must act with boldness. NOW IS THE TIME TO END 35 YEARS OF WAGE STAGNATION and TO PUSH HISTORY FORWARD.

Sure, but as they look around and want things for themselves (a new car, a family, a home) they’ll realize why it is so difficult to get ahead.

I also noted that the presidential race was much closer than I thought it would be in Michigan given the demographics which tells you something:

2,490,290 Obama to 2,097,107 Romney

The Russian Commies would not celebrate a Gay senate victory.

Even The Party has fallen prey to political correctness. :-)

“Republicans need to stop using red as their color (”red” states).”
___________________________________

I never understood how Republicans got stuck with RED, and Dimocraps, Blue. I do not think that the Republican party had anything to do with it.
It should be just the opposite.
Maybe some FReeper knows the story.


I disagree. I think the Republicans very much have earned their “red” designation—at least as much as Trotsky earned his before getting the axe.

What we have now is not communism/socialism..what we have now is pre-socialism. First they have to Destroy the old system.
You know the old antiquated system that sustained millions in freedom. The old system that built a solid infrastructure.
This is the best of time in a dying countries history to be a socialist.
There are still a lot of freebies to go round because the total cillapse of the old system.
Soon we will not have enough heat to stay warm or refrigorators...after awhile you may look forward to going before the death panel.
Now turn in your neighbor if you hear, or even suspect, him slanding the profet 0bama (state).

OK...You have just reaffirmed my decision to have bailed out from the USSA.
Apparently the Repubs are no better then the Communist Dimocraps.

Well, look at the bright side. If we go communist, then we won’t have an immigration problem. Emmigration, now that will be a problem.

>stayed home because Mitt Romney wasn’t the perfect candidate.

Yep. The mental midgets are safe and warm and their “principles” are intact. I wonder if they realize that their ignorance has made it even harder for them to force rape victims to bear and raise their rapists children?

At least todd akin and his family have a good retirement package thanks to us working taxpayers.

“Thanks a lot to all the a-holes who stayed home because Mitt Romney wasn’t the perfect candidate.

Communist across the globe are in your debt. “

AMEN. Those morons need to be spit at and ridiculed every time they poke their stupid heads up around here, until they leave FR or change their screen names out of pure shame.

I have already started ridiculing some of the vilest offenders.

Republicans need to stop using red as their color (”red” states).

Up through Ronad Reagan's elections in 1980 & 1984, Republican states & victories were ALWAYS coded as blue and DemocRAT states were listed as red. However the media realized that red is always associated with communism, and in the transition to 1992 when the serial rapist & adulterer Bill Clinton ran against GHW Bush Sr, the partisan MSM media abruptly changed the colors and color coded the Republicans as RED and DemocRATs as BLUE. And apparently the Republicans said or did nothing about it, and that is how the colors for the two partys were reversed and altered.....by the liberal, socialist, partisan MSM.

If our GOP congressmen don’t find some balls, we should change the color to yellow.

I agree. Let's use WHITE. Just to piss them off.

The MSM picked up on the jokes about how “TRUE BLUE” was appropiate for Republicans and “RED” was appropiate for democrats,only it wasn’t a joke it was an accurate statement.

I had read somewhere that the colors red and blue were alternated with each presidential election until recently.

This should make every decent person in America sick to their stomachs. It does me, and it makes me very angry.
