[Due to technical difficulties, the archive stream is in two parts.]
Mark Levine debates Republican leader Jim Parmelee on the basic philosophies of the Democratic and Republican Parties:
Why are you a Republican? A conservative?
Why are you a Democrat? A liberal?

Democrats/Liberals care about poor people, the environment, equal opportunity, unions, teachers, corporate regulation, consumer protection, high taxes on inherited wealth, low taxes on people struggling to make a living, education, low debt, open government, separation of church and state, rehabilitation and drug treatment rather than prison, war as a last resort, prevention of genocide, voting rights, police officers and firefighters, homeland security, gun control, and a free press….
Republicans/conservatives care about rich people, big business, corporations, oil companies, low taxes (for corporations, capital gains, inherited wealth, interest, and dividends), Government/Church partnership, letting people succeed in business without government help or interference, strict Government regulation/monitoring of private lives, high debt, closed government, strict voting regulations, wars to compel countries to follow US interests, and a press controlled and manipulated by the Government…

Kerry's Speech on the War in Iraq
September 22, 2004(archived broadcast )
(Johnny and George: A Bedtime Story)
When the history of Election of 2004 is written, John Kerry’s speech Monday on Bush’s War in Iraq will likely be remembered as the turning point: the point where Kerry, having been hurt by the Swift Boat Smear, rose again to take control of the agenda and win the Election.
As a public service to you, we will play the speech today commercial-free with Mark’s comments (and yours!) at the conclusion.
A transcript of the speech is posted in the blog below (thanks to frequent “Scooper,” Gordon from Michigan).
