Seems it is slowly picking up steam as moderates try to get a word in edge-wise between the extremes on the left and right... Okay, I'll admit to being perhaps on the extreme left but I'll also admit to thinking that if we could bring about civility that would help those of us on the left to get our message into the mix... I believe there is a website fir this group... Maybe someone can find it and put a blue clicky fir it??? B~ |

From: akenaton A word of warning,there is no way of running a capitalist economic system without financially exploiting the people...especially a system in decline. A third party will be useless unless serious about change....major change. Without that it will be simply another distraction....ready to jump into bed with which ever of the established parties promises a smell of power. See our LIBERAL PARTY. |

If you look at the links you'll plainly see it's not about that at all... It's about trying to fix the ways in which folks communicate... Period!!! Not about capitalism or this being bad or that being bad... It's just a different way of doin' an old song... In other words, you have missed the point... B~ |

From: The Fooles Troupe I didn't miss the point about denigrating the label "liberal" as a swear word... pity - it's the 'liberals' who felt that people should be ale to make money on their own, and not be slaves to the rich 'conservatives' .... :-P |

From: katlaughing I might be more inclined to watch their video if they didn't insist on an email addy by having the request superimposed over the video with a threat that it will cost me if I want to continue watching it for free. Not a good first impression. |

13 Dec 10 - 09:35 PM (#3052937) Subject: RE: BS: 'No Labels' Movement in politics From: Genie People's response to whether they agree or disagree with statements of political philosophy or proposals often differ depending on the label (e.g., "liberal" or "conservative" or "Democratic" or "Republican") attached to them. The best way to find out people's actual beliefs and goals is not to use such labels. -- And, talk about synchronicity (is that what it's called?)! Just as I opened this thread and started typing this, Norman Goldman brought up the subject of this "no-labels movement" on his radio talk show! LOL |
