Chris Matthews asks DNC Chair difference between Democrat and Socialist

[champions77]

Watching Debbie Wasserman Schultz's "deer in the headlights" look is priceless, but speaks volumes as to how far the Democratic Party has moved to the radical left. Communists in the Obama Administration and now a Democratic Presidential Candidate is an avowed Socialist.

I read that Debbie is Bankrupt----What a shame

[SicEmBaylor]

I've long hated that c*nt.

[SoonerProphet]

I wonder about all these politicians and their horrific grasp of political theory, history, policy, and the general concept of governance. A country run by naves and used car salesmen.

95% of Republicans in Washington are right-wing nationalists not conservatives, and not a damned single one of them can tell the difference between the two. Wasserman-Schultz has the same problem on the Democratic side. I don't think she was evading; I genuinely don't believe she knows the answer to the question.

In an arena overflowing with soulless, brainless, idiots, she stands out as one of the worst.

yes she does, it's nothing...but she doesn't want to answer it.

She'd have been the perfect Soviet.

Funny!

Chris Matthews is trying to get Bernie written off as too far left. He's a tool for the big Dems.

Matthews ended the segment by stating that he thinks there is a big difference. Wouldn't it be nice if someone asked him what the difference is?

My Dad was ahead of his time. 25 years ago he wondered out loud why the Democratic Party didn't change their name to the Socialist Party.

Is there still anyone out there that thinks that the GOP has moved farther to the right than the Democratic Party has moved to the left? If so, please explain how you could come to that conclusion. The GOP is owned lock, stock and barrel by Moderates, or if you prefer Rhinos. You see that in the Presidential candidates, you see that in the Speaker of the House, as well as the Senate Majority leader Mitch McConnell. Pinheads like Nancy Wasserman Shultz would like to have you believe that far right radicals run the GOP, but nothing could be further from the truth. The leadership of the GOP today would be Democrats of 1985.

The Dems are the "Big Tent" Party? Yeah sure. Try being a Pro Life Dem and ask to speak at the next Democratic National Convention, or speak advocating School Vouchers, Charter Schools or Home Schooling? Try advocating the strict enforcement of our borders. Try stating that "White Lives Matter too" and see the uproar. The spineless Martin O'Malley stated that recently and was booed off the stage. He later apologized for stating that. What a weenie. Can you imagine him negotiating with Putin or the Iranian Mullahs?

Reagan couldn't get the nomination today. He'd be too much of a lefty plus he does things like call out Israel, works with Iran, etc. I've been saying this for some time.

Take John Boehner. Boehner, elected in 1990, was rarely called a "moderate" during his first decade in office. And, as we wrote last September, the totality of his record prior to his ascension as Speaker in 2011, was anything but moderate. (In 2010, Boehner received a 100 percent conservative score from the American Conservative Union and had a 94 percent lifetime score. That same year Boehner had a 100 percent rating from the conservative Club for Growth and a 83 percent lifetime rating.) Despite those facts, Boehner is widely regarded by a group of four dozen or so Republican House members as insufficiently committed to the conservative cause -- and is in serious danger of not being reelected as Speaker next year.

Boehner is just one example of a broader trend. Republican politicians who were once considered solid conservatives two decades ago are now routinely dismissed as Republicans In Name Only (RINOS). The defeat of Bob Bennett in Utah in 2010 and the primary challenges to the likes of Sens. John Cornyn (Texas) and Mitch McConnell (Ky.) are evidence of this trend. Conservatism tinged with pragmatism is no longer considered conservatism by many within the party's base. Sen. Ted Cruz, the most visible figure of the 'pure' conservative movement, typified the change within the Republican party in Congress when he recently dismissed Dole, John McCain and Mitt Romney as evidence that when Republicans don't stand on principle, they lose. (Dole's response? “I was one of the top supporters of President Reagan and had a pretty conservative record when I was in the Senate. But he [Cruz] didn’t know any of that.")

Both sides have moved. I would argue that the actual DATA says that the right has moved further from the center. But, you guys don't often like things like science and data.

I guess that's why in 2012 we nominated the former Governor of Massachusetts as our nominee. A right wing stronghold for sure.
Silly.

[SoonerProphet]

It has become a vacuous, empty, and thus meaningless talking point. Nobody in this day and age has time for a well thought out debate. Instead we are reduced to sloganeering and bumper stickers. Words like socialist, fascist, nazi, appeaser, are sound and fury signifying nothing.

[Serenity Now]

I think it has to do with our consumption of media. Most of us don't want to read/watch/listen to news or gather opinions from people with whom we disagree. Over the last 30 years media has polarized as well. Rush is the first polarizing figure that I remember listening to on the radio in about 1991. I think a curve ball that has been thrown at us in general is the baby boomers becoming naturally more conservative as they got older consuming more and more media polarizing media in their ever growing spare time (retired). It has really steepened the polarization in my mind. Both sides are guilty.

[TheHumanAlphabet]

What a stunningly stupid and vapid response by the DNC chair. Clearly not fit for public office of any type...

The right has moved further from the center? You're right, that is to the left of center. In your world, you would probably believe that George W Bush was a conservative, right? And I'm sure that W would consider himself a conservative, most Republicans up in DC would. But when the national debt increases over 5 Trillion dollars during his Presidency and you enlarge the Federal Government with additional programs like Medicare Part D....then you are not a conservative.

Comes a time when these so called Conservatives have to stand on their record, and that record with very few exceptions of one of growing the federal government, spending money and adding to the National debt, and not fighting to eliminate fraud, waste and abuse of hundreds of billions of tax payer dollars, by and large abandoning the very principles that got them elected back in their home state in the first place.

We disagree. I don't see a big line out of the GOP or the self-idnetified conservatives to hold the banks accountable for their fraud over the last decade.

You're right. The GOP talks tough, then does nothing. The Rhinos outweigh the Conservatives, so yes it's hard to do much. Very few Republicans will stand on principle anymore. If they do, the Dems roll out the predictable "GOP is rolling Granny over the cliff" or the GOP wants dirty air and water and they usually back down. Nothing gets done.
