NEW YORK – A labor group affiliated with the nation’s largest union is giving its highest prize for journalism to a writer from the official newspaper of the Communist Party USA.
President Obama’s labor secretary, Hilda Solis, will be on hand for the awards dinner this week to lead a special session on how to respond to “expected” attacks from the new Republican-led House.

that your republican president created to finance his make daddy happy campaign and to line up more overseas work for his corporate affiliates? I mean, I don’t affiliate with any political party, but I would rather have the guy who creates debt by spending on our own country than the guy who funnels our tax dollars into his own pockets.

I consider myself a Republican because of the % of my views, but im very open-minded when it comes to politics. Also im 18 years of age, so please understand my grammar may seem a little “funny” to the older crowd haha.
Anyways, Something i dont understand is why is it when We all voted to have it so when you went to a official ballot, You could not see what party affiliation the Prop, or Person running was affiliated with. Now, my question is why were the democrats so upset with this? I did research and heard the head of the Democrat Party (speaker of the house) and many other democrat leaders say that “We have to have the Party Affiliation down there because the democrat voters need the guidance.”
So my question is why would they say this? Why not let people vote for what they believe in. And ive been told by a Republican, And read this carefully so you do not misunderstand, He said that More republicans do their research Than democrats. Now thats not saying that Democrats dont do their research because PLENTY do. But meaning the Middle-class less educated ones dont really do the research and just go to the ballott and just vote “democrat”. I dont agree with this at all, and im also confused why the democrat leaders Would say this about democratic voters, because it seems like a insult to the democratic voters. Just looking for responses

I’ve been reading into American politics lately, and although I am not an American citizen, I find it interesting to get a sense of what America and its citizens are going through right now (politically, economically, etc.).
Anyway, I keep reading about both political parties, and I am having a hard time classifying myself with a party.
I am usually on the fence on most matters, because I believe that in todays world, it is every man for himself. However, I do value traditiod and family. I also believe strongly in educating one self and establishing a good career.
I like the idea of smaller governments because I have seen many low-income people abuse and take advantage of government social programs (for example, welfare). I think governments should not intervene ALOT in people’s lives, but do so only when necessary. I believe that people’s success/failure depends ENTIRELY on their actions. For instance, if you are in need of some cash, then get a job and work hard…and move up the corporate ladder.
I am mostly neutral on controvesial issues. I am pro-abortion simply because I think we have a choice in deciding whether to bring a life into this world or not (please dont bother arguing with me about this, I dont have time to explain my beliefs over the internet to you). I believe in having a strong military/national defence, but I also think that money needs to be invested in the infrastructure of a country in order to improve quality of life.
I support the advancement of medical research. I don’t have anything against homosexuals.
I am not insanely religious, but I do remember my religious roots and ties (I give my family more value than my religion). I am a strong believer of karma and I live by the moto ‘live and let live”, therefore I think everyone should mind their own business, and stop imposing their beliefs on others (I am looking at you christians who keep knocking on my door asking me to consider christianity as my religion lol–no offence but it gets annoying. please stop).
I believe everything should be done in moderation. I don’t like extremes.
…okay so that was my little rant. Now, what political category should I affiliate myself with?

There’s much more about the republican and democrat numbers slumping in the article itself…
excerpt…
For the second month in a row, the number of Americans who identify themselves as Democrats has fallen to a record low.
In September, 34.6% of American Adults identified themselves as Democrats. That’s down nearly half a percentage point from a month ago, a full percentage point from two months ago, and is the smallest percentage of Democrats ever recorded in nearly eight years of monthly tracking.
At the same time, the number of Republicans slipped from 33.8% in August to 33.1% last month.http://www.rasmussenreports.com/public_c…
