Communist Party USA- Oust the GOP in 2006!
Leaders of the Communist Party USA, meeting here March 4-5, warned that the Bush administration, aided and abetted by the Republican-majority Congress, has plunged the nation into the “worst constitutional crisis since the Civil War.”

The meeting of the party’s national committee at Winston Unity Center issued a “Call to Action” to mobilize a mighty people’s upsurge at the polls next Nov. 7 to oust the Republicans from majority control of the House and Senate.

Sam Webb, CPUSA national chair, cited one disaster after another for the Bush-Cheney regime as Bush’s standing in the polls has plunged to 34 percent. Webb spoke of the growing anger at home and abroad over the bloody war in Iraq. “Not in a century has U.S. imperialism’s standing in the world been at such a low ebb,” he said. “Not even during the height of the Vietnam War has the U.S. been so isolated.”

Yet faced by revulsion at home and abroad, the administration shows no signs of retreat. Instead Bush grows more “reckless,” believing that sheer “political will and control of the state apparatus” is enough to crush the opposition. “We are looking at a constitutional crisis,” Webb said. Bush remains fixated on “full spectrum dominance” at home and abroad. He quoted former Vice President Al Gore’s warning that Bush is arrogating to himself the absolute powers of a “king.” He called for a full “independent investigation” of Bush and Cheney for these abuses of power that warrant impeachment.

A victory over the Republicans next November, he said, will be a “decisive turning point” in the struggle to defend democracy, helping to restore Congress as a counter to Bush’s power grab. And the sharp shift in public opinion against Bush-Cheney and the ultra-right means the Republicans “go into the election with a disadvantage.”

“This fight is winnable,” Webb said. “The all-people’s front is becoming energized. New forces are being drawn into the struggle. It has put a new bounce in our step.”

In a slideshow presentation, Joelle Fishman, chair of the CPUSA Political Action Commission, laid out the challenge for the people’s movement of securing a net loss for the Republicans of 15 seats in the House and six seats in the Senate, giving the Democrats majority control of Congress.

fight Dubya would be to ENDORSE him.

Now THERE'S an interesting thought. And probably quite true. That would drive the spin-meisters half nuts.

6. I'm not a Communist
But it's gotten to the point to where I'd prefer them over the Republicans.

8. Is this like the "Communists for Kerry" who looked kept showing up in 2004
at rallies and talking to the media, all looking strangely like Tucker Carlson clones--- in expensive suits with shiny shoes?

Great. Nice to have you aboard, fellas. We look forward to your, uh, "help". :eyes:

14. No, those were satirical conservatives
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Communists_for_Kerry

These are the real deal. Unless you ask any Maoist, Trotskyist, etc.

12. I thought "Red" herrings were extinct!...
:puke:

I guess desperate Neocon times call for desperate Neocon measures.

Pretty soon -- Promising HS students (minors) will be prematurely recruited into the armed forces -- before the NBA can draft them.

This administration has done more for totalitarianism than any recent global threat.

Unfortunately, few of the products displayed are currently available.

The God That Failed, indeed.
