So which U.S. party is left wing?
none JLM...none....

our whole country is completely left of the States

you have been in this forum too long if you think it represents your average Canadian

I consider myself moderate and compared to 95% in here I am so left they can't see me

There are likely five of us in here who are left...the rest are so far right it is beyond my comprehension

my guy is fairly far right and when he reads posts in here he is amazed....

Maybe that isn't such a bad thing, here in Canada I'd say there are far too many people who thinks the world owes them a living! :)

With all the hate ... oops, I mean love, being directed at Hillary, I can hardly wait for the "Rand Paul closes in on a landslide win" thread that is sure to come here, soon. Sorta like the Romney landslide thread that we all laughed at. :p

oh brother, how many thousands of husbAnds have used that one As their excuse.

It's sad when a man is driven from his hearth and home to seek shelter in the arms of compassionate women who can comprehend the magnitude of the hardened heart from which he fled. Such is the story of William Jefferson Clinton who reached the pinnacle of political power only to be brought low by a shrew who refused to be tamed.

A shrew named Hillary who attempted to force all humanity to worship at the altar of a false goddess. Will no one rid us of this shrew spake King Henry II. Where are the four knights who would rid us of this shrew?

Rand Paul Keeps Saying that a Secret Scandal Will Wreck Hillary Clinton “Soon”

In a speech yesterday to the anti-abortion Susan B. Anthony List, Kentucky Senator Rand Paul made his third oblique reference to a scandal that—according to him—will grievously wound Democratic frontrunner Hillary Clinton.

"You ever hear 'em ask Hillary Clinton, this money she's getting, whether it influences her decisions?" said Paul, referring to media questions about donors to the Clinton family's charitable organizations. "There's going to be stuff coming out about the Clinton Foundation and their donations from different companies that get special approval from the Secretary of State. Coming out in the next couple of weeks."

“There’s going to be stuff coming out about the Clinton Foundation and their donations from different companies that get special approval from the Secretary of State.”

Paul had debuted this theory on April 7, in the interview he gave Fox News's Sean Hannity right after his announcement. "She's in charge of approving business deals as secretary of state," Paul said of Clinton. "They're called CFIAs, anything that relates to our security. There's going to be something coming out in the next few weeks about companies that she approved deals for."

"That they were against, and then they became for after money went to the foundation?" asked Hannity.

"Significant amounts, over $100 million being given to her foundation coming out in the next two weeks," said Paul.

The next day, in New Hampshire, Fox News's Carl Cameron asked him what the scandals might be.

"I think there is big news coming on the Clinton Foundation," said Paul. "I think there are things that went on at the Clinton Foundation that are going to shock people. I think they're going to make people question whether she ought to run for president."

"Can you tell us what you're talking about?" asked Cameron.

"Then it wouldn't be a secret, Carl!" said Paul. "It's coming soon."

The rest of Paul's speech to the SBA List recapped a more successful media crusade of his: The effort to get Democrats to say when life begins, shifting the frame of the abortion debate. "Shouldn't the other side have to justify why this baby doesn't have any rights?" asked Paul, "The government does have some role in our lives. One of the main roles that government has is to restrict you from harming another individual. When life begins, there is a role for the state."

I'm not so sure it would matter much who Bill was married to. I have a hunch he still might have a problem keeping it in his pants! :)

I wonder if you even bothered to understand my point. Looks like you got overloaded and so doubled down on ignorance.



My left or your left?

I'm not sure what your definition of "left" is. I think it's a silly term, but I guess a synonym would be "Socialism". From what I understand it's a system where everyone chips in for the good of the majority, one of the sure signs being lots of social programs, like our medical system in Canada. However there is one major problem with it as not everyone is willing to put the same amount of effort into it. You see some of its staunchest supporters sitting on a bench down town with their caps out. Some say that politically it's the best system until someone else's money runs out! :) :)
Let's hear your definition!

The political left and right is a relative term. What is right and what is left depends on perspective. If we were talking face to face and we both looked to the left, we'd be looking in different directions. Left certainly isn't synonymous with socialism. The centre in the US is to right of the centre in Canada, but Hillary Clinton is a right-wing Democrat. It's hard to imagine, even from the American perspective, how the Democratic party in the US could be described as left-wing. At best their voting base is on the left.

It doesn't really matter. I feel like the term means nothing. If you want to call Hillary Clinton left-wing then fine. I'd think it's odd, but it's relative. If you want to call Hillary Clinton a socialist, you're just admitting you haven't got a clue.

Good points, I erred in one aspect - I should have said "Socialism is synonymous with FAR left".

Been listening to this right left crap for some time now. Seems like the definitions change from day to day. One definition you can be sure won't apply, is the idea of teamwork.
