They think TR was the crazy brother in “Arsenic and Old Lace”.

Not for the last thirty years.

TR, Eisenhower, Nixon, Reagan — all too liberal for the modern Republican party.

As Lincoln might say; “It’s my party, and I’ll cry if I want to…”

And if Lincoln was alive to see what the Republican party has degenerated into, he WOULD cry!!

Roosevelt fought for the 99%. He was against corporations as persons, against child labor (hey Newit!), for a progressive income tax, for health care, and for conservation and National Parks. Amazing how far the Republican party has sunk in its quest to only represent the 1%.

Actually, no. The Republican Party never forgave TR for running as a third party candidate in 1912, thereby assuring a Dem victory. Repub friends he’d known for decades were crossing the street to avoid speaking to him, it was that bad.

Shouldn’t that sword be a “big stick”? (As in “I speak very softly, but I carry a big stick.”)

Speak softly and carry a beagle. That’s my new philosophy. (From Sally Brown)

Again, almost too silly to warrant a response; however, this Democratic party isn’t even CLOSE to being socialist. The modern Democratic party is right of Eisenhower, and that includes President Obama. I know that stupid people like to try to throw the S word around like it’s some kind of Scarlet Letter, but if you can put aside the labels for a minute (and I know you can’t) you’ll see that the progressive movement is pointing out that this country is run by corporations for whom profit is not only the bottom line, but the ONLY line! People lose out when profits rule and these corporations have purchased our government. Deregulation has crashed the economy and thrown millions of people out on the street, people with no healthcare, people with starving children. Deregulation is threatening to take away the environmental protections we’ve fought so hard to win. If corporations get their way, the rivers will be catching on fire again, and cancers will increase.etc., etc., etc. Drop the labels and try thinking for a change you idiot!
