FTA Norman Markowitz says "A stronger left that follows the tradition of the Communist Party,"
That's our direction far left toward a tradition of the Communist Party. Change we can believe in!
YES WE CAN!!!!!!!
Be careful what you wish for because you've got it!-

Editorial: Eye on the Prize
Reply
Barack Obama is not a left candidate. This fact has seemingly surprised a number of progressive people who are bemoaning Obama’s “shift to the center.” (Right-wingers are happy to join them, suggesting Obama is a “flip-flopper.”) It’s sad that some who seek progressive change are missing the forest for the trees. But they will not dampen the wide and deep enthusiasm for blocking a third Bush term represented by John McCain, or for bringing Obama by a landslide into the White House with a large Democratic congressional majority.
A broad multiclass, multiracial movement is converging around Obama’s “Hope, change and unity” campaign because they see in it the thrilling opportunity to end 30 years of ultra-right rule and move our nation forward with a broadly progressive agenda.
This diverse movement combines a variety of political currents and aims in a working coalition that is crucial to social progress at this point. At the core are America’s working families, of all hues and ethnicities, whose determination to move forward does not depend on, and will not be diverted by, the daily twists and turns of this watershed presidential campaign. They are taking the long view.-

Notably, the labor movement has stepped up its independent mobilization for this election. It is leading an unprecedented campaign to educate and unify its ranks to elect the nation’s first African American president. Last week, AFL-CIO Secretary-Treasurer Richard Trumka told the Steelworkers convention that there is “no evil that’s inflicted more pain and more suffering than racism — and it’s something we in the labor movement have a special responsibility to challenge.”

If Obama’s candidacy represented nothing more than the spark for this profound initiative to unite the working class and defeat the pernicious influence of racism, it would be a transformative candidacy that would advance progressive politics for the long term.
The struggle to defeat the ultra-right and turn our country on a positive path will not end with Obama’s election. But that step will shift the ground for successful struggles going forward.
One thing is clear. None of the people’s struggles — from peace to universal health care to an economy that puts Main Street before Wall Street — will advance if McCain wins in November.
Let’s keep our eyes on the prize.

Well, RedRiverJ, this is another story to which all I can say is: So what? It outlines what Communists wish, want, hope, look forward to, pray for, long for, yearn for, and desire from the Obama presidency. It doesn't present one shred of evidence that these groups influence Obama at all, or even have any contact with him.

"Communist Party strategist maps out Obama's agenda"? You or I can outline his agenda just as easily, but the question is whether he would listen to either one of us.-

guess the fact that the Obama's being voted the MOST far left senator in the senate and the fact that the communist party's agenda is kinda like that of the far left Obama seems a little interesting.

It will be interesting to see how long many of you say SO WHAT as your country, freedoms and culture is gradually chipped away........say so what then.-

Well, now, according to the criteria included in this study, I am a liberal. I am surprised by this, since I feel certain I am much closer to the middle than I am to the left. I disagreed with only one vote, the death tax vote.

I guess this makes it official. I'm a liberal. -

Klarissa, I don't know if this denial of Obamas actual voting record, and his actual words, is a creation of Obamas design, or if he is simply the man with the intelligence to take advantage of it. Blackwater, wiretapping, pro-war, the bailout, it's all in the public records.

I know I'll get hammered for the pro war comment, but he did support a white pro war democrat, Barrows, over an antiwar, black woman democrat, Thomas.

We told you kool aid drinkers that Obama was a commie loving Marxist all along so don't make excuses up for him now.

He is what he is and you got what you got.
A commie loving, terrorist loving, racist loving. Marxist.
Now bend over real far and prepare for some change. -
