Charlotte,

Just wondering, but isn,t this what the democrats are saying. Why should the 
CP be a parrot for democratic party propaganda. In fact it appears to me , 
at least from a distance, that people are pretty much fed up with both the 
dems and the pubs.

Well, i am glad that the CP is doing something for the people.Sounds like 
you are almost a mass party. And those horrible leftists. I mean just have 
strategies and plans and all that stuff while the real workers are 
struggling. Sounds almost like Jesus coming to enlighten the humble soles of 
humanity.  

Its almost like the American CP does not have a history! And all these left 
groups just popped up spontaniously or something..Christ the nerve of them 
to start talking about revolution.

warm Regards
