Mel Martinez of FL votes along with Snowe and Collins of Maine, those other RINOS in the Senate. We need to replace these fakes the next time they run for re-election.

The Communist Congress would pass, and President Obama would sign, legislation seizing the oil industry. That legislation would include a provision barring any federal court, including the Supreme Court, from ruling on the Constitutionality of that legislation.

See how simple that would be? Vote for McCain, despite McCain.

Maurice Hinchey

He was particularly noted for his work on protecting the natural environment. For fourteen years he chaired the Committee on Environmental Conservation. One highlight of his tenure was the passage of the country's first law concerning regulation of acid rain.

he no longer bills himself as a conservative or even a moderate Democrat. In fact, he is one of the most liberal members of the House, and one of the state's most liberal congressmen outside New York City. For example, his website states, "He was one of the first and most outspoken opponents of the 2003 war in Iraq."

He now serves on the powerful Appropriations Committee, a post that helps him deliver federal support on programs important to his district.

Hinchey is a member of Congressional Progressive Caucus, a group of liberal congressmen.

Representative Hinchey has been one of Congress' strongest voices in support of medical marijuana. The Hinchey-Rohrabacher medical marijuana amendment -- which has been introduced in the United States House of Representatives every year since 2003

Do you think it had to do with our families? My Late Father, was in the military-Army./Just Asking - seoul62......

I'm not so sure. I grew up in a family of libs, and we even lived in the "Berkeley Metro" area in the 60s and early 70s.

It’s 1984 - The Movie. Oceania must control the supply of oil.

“Destruction of the family unit was a primary goal of Ingsoc {aka Liberals}.”

Winston will meet Parsons and O’Brien in the Ministry of Love {aka San Fransiko}

If you have “defective memory”, you will be “re-educated” on the concept of “Doublethink.”

And, remember: “...any single act of thoughtcrime is the ‘gateway drug’ which will inevitably lead to all the others.”

“This is an election for Democracy over Marxism.”

Been saying this for a spell and Obama is their linchpin. All the leftists know it and are going full blast for him.

What is taking folks here so long to recognize that threat?
Oh they want to preserve their vote for the perfect candidate scenario.
Sorry forgot.

Okay, let’s turn over the country to the marxists and then we’ll fix it later.
Later being maybe in 50 or more years.

I can't believe that they're so open about it.

I can. We have at least 100 million narcissists in this country who are totally ignorant of history and political philosophy.
