Is Pete Hoeskstra the leader of the Tea Party?

He is meeting with the Tea Party several times a week planning his run to be Michigans next governor and appears to have been deeply invovled with them for the last year or more.





Is it what MI needs a Tea Party Governor?|||No, the Tea Party protestors have no ultimate leader.|||Never heard of Pete Hoeskstra until today.





Considering Michigan is bankrupt, a Tea Party- fiscally Responsible candidate is exactly what MI needs.|||I think it's past your bedtime.

In the last uk election, would you have voted for labour if gordon brown had been labour party leader?

Im staunch Tory so I wouldn't vote for any Labour scum, however in a way Labourites did vote for Brown as they did know full well that it was only a matter of time before Blair was going to stand aside and **** hole Brown was going to take over, so the voters did really know what they were getting. I just dont think they knew as did anyone, the hell that he would cause for the decent folk of Britain and his sheer incompetence!!|||No !I would not have voted for the Labour Party if Gordon Brown had been leader.


He has proved to be an ineffective, weak easily led by Peter Mandelson.


He has also proved that he lacks ability in his much heralded strong point finance;Where he had the opportunity to place safeguards into the Banking system which would have prevented millions of pensioners savings hitting 'rock bottom'.


It has been the poor pensioner and the thrifty who have paid the full price for Gordon Brown's political ineptitude and low ability rating.


Gordon Brown is a low calibre politician who has been propelled to the top by selfish Labour time servers mostly from Scotland who demand top political jobs in return for their questionable loyalty.|||No and my household will not be voting Labour so long as GB remains their leader. It's their problem, they've been in govrernment for nearly 100 years and in all that time have done nothing for the Common People. Their main claim to fame is fiddling expenses and demanding vast sums of money to help change the laws of UK on behalf of rich business clients.





Anne Widecombe MP (Ultra Right Wing Tory, ban fishing etc) (leaving the Commons at this election) told a TV news crew that "the people think we do not listen to them." Right lady, you do NOT listen to us. The entire House of Commons is just a self congratulatory waffle shop with no plans ever to deal with any of the issues which concern the Common People.





Gordon Brown has dipped into the pension funds of the Common People and stolen our money. His aim is to make as many people as possible poor in the hope that this will encourage them to carry on voting Labour. Not even when I'm dead Gordon, will you get my vote.





Gordon Brine also has plans to take the family properties of millions of our elder citizens in exchange for Third World Class healthcare in their last years. The elders of our families will have to hand over all their property, houses, gold ornaments and other family treasures to the Brine Government Department of Dirty Tricks. This money will then be used to support the Champagne Socialist lifestyle of Labour Party MPs none of whom have ever done a days work in their lives and who on the whole come from rich lawyer families who have no idea what it's like to work seven days week for a miserable pittance.





rant done. . .feeeeel sooo much better








GORDIN BRINE MUST GO.





P.S. What's that Evil Satanic worshipper Tiny Blur doing? Remember him? Took us into an illegal war in both Iraq (now a bombed out total lawless Hell hole - the Gateway to Hell) and then into another illagal war in Afghanistan while posing at the Bush "Poodle of the Year Show."





Tiny Blur and his kind should read history before ever getting involved in such as Afghanistan.


The link below tells the story of a Scottish soldier fighting in Afghanistan in the 19th C - but did Blurite learn? No - he went ahead just the same, in the hope of gaining control of what really amounts to the SILK ROUTE - the East-West trade route link.

PS I'm not gay just saying thats all.








And if I had known what Tony Blair was going to do (iraq war) I would not have voted for him either, that said i think he as been one of the most successful labour party leaders ever (and Prime minister), he is one smart cookie, and I still like him but I dont like war.





I will still vote labour even if brown is a **** just to keep them blue bastards out,





POWER TO THE PEOPLE (WOLFIE SMITH) HAHA|||I would have been very undecided. It was on the back of some good achievements like recognising civil partnerships legally and also the economy was going quite well too. It is the Lisbon stuff, the increasing political correctness, the disturbing immigration etc that has really turned me off. I didn't see them for what they really are back then.





I would have been torn, but now would I vote Labour? Not a chance.|||I'd be voting for my local MP and on the basis that they represent the party that reflects the society, values and priorities I'd like to see a government have. I therefore vote for the party not their current leader.





We seem to be moving closer to personality based presidential style elections in this country which while good for the media is not good for democracy.





However I live in a safe Tory seat with the Lib dems as the second party which would essentially make a vote for Labour a wasted vote. To make voting more meaningful I'd like to see us change the "first past the post system" and introduce a form of "proportional representation." Hopefully this will come out of what is likely to be a hung parliament and will lead to real cross party debate on how we solve the key issues facing us of: a) Government/Taxpayer debt and what, when and how cuts to public spending are made b) how consumer debt is reduced c) changing the basis of our economy to re-balance our trade so we generate income rather than sending all our earnings overseas to buy goods - often on credit cards - manufactured in countries where labour is cheap and d) the pensions time bomb.|||No. Gordon Brown should go and live in the Asian subcontinent or Africa instead of bringing millions of Asians and Africans to the UK.





In secret, he brought 3,000,000 immigrants to the UK between 1999 and 2008, nobody knew about it, we gradually found about it when London looked like an African or Asian capital complete with burkas

In Switzerland, Turkish Labour Party leader whose name Perincek is judged by Swiss Court. What do you think ?

Dogu Perincek is a leader of Turkish Labour Party. He said that, 'So-called Armenian Genocide is a lie' . What about freedom of thought ?


Is this Europa ? Why do people wear 'Horse-Glasses' ?


Please do not say 'Wrong Category'. I asked also Yahoo 'Law-Ethics'. I am curiosly your answer.


Regards|||duffy guess you are wearing the horse glasses, have you read what you wrote?





Armenian genocide is a lie...but you people can't find any false and just make it up if there's not one...





European policies are two faced.......so I am not surprised about this.....





Turkish policies are 1 million times better then Europe could ever be if they worked on it all their lifes...|||Europa is talking about that there is no independence of ideas in turkiye [because of 301. law which says a person who insults turkiye or turks, are punished], while they have such kind of laws, even also they get involved about the so-called genocide which is nothing to do with them. So, where is the indepedence of ideas in Europa?





Perincek has gone to Switzerland with many documents which show that there is no genocide and turks have been killed by armenians, too. if someone says there is armenian genocide, s/he has to say there is turkish genocide, too. Even turkish archieves are open and turks doesnt take these claims seriously, many people believe in the genocide so that in their country armenians talk about a so-called genocide so much.





Why those countries accept this nonsense thing by their courts or laws and let historians talk about it?





This is the ignorance of big, modern and improved Europa. Or this is a politic effort against turkiye...





TURKISH LAW CONSTITUTION HAS BEEN MODELLED FROM SWITZERLAND'S, SO WHAT ABOUT THAT ALSO?|||I prefer that saying stupid malicious lies should not be illegal. I believe that when ideas are freely exchanged, the truth will come out.


Unfortunately, Turkiye is even worse than Switzerland for this. Hrant Dink, the Turkish Armenian, was convicted and then murdered for telling the truth.


At least Switzerland's law has a good motive; they don't want another genocide like the Jewish holocaust.


Turkiye's law is just trying to cover up the crimes of its ancestors.


This is foolish. You are not your ancestor, and their crimes are not your fault. So why do you want to compound the crime by denying it?


Who is really wearing blinders (horse glasses)?

Who actually is Obama, New Party leader, Democrat(which he is not) or a Socialist.?

Your call America pin a tail on em.|||1. New Party Idealist, since he was the head of that movement,


2. Communist sympathizer


3. Socialist


4. Islamic radical sympathizer.





What he is not is an honorable truth telling American.|||An ultra liberal socialist|||He is the next Democrat to be elected President of the United States of America.|||He is a democrat! You can pick and choose and puts words in his mouth, all you want it does not change the fact that he is a democrat. I would not argue that McCain and George bush are not republicans, so why would you argue that Obama is not a democrat.





Just plain idiotic.|||He's A chosen PUPPET for Nancy P.%26amp; her little CLICK|||http://www.americanthinker.com/blog/2008鈥?/a>|||Another inane question. You should have included a relevant answer, like "next president of the United States". Again another moron who obviously doesn't have any idea what socialism is. The information is readily available. Why haven't you found it yet? |||The political, media, cultural and social establishments are determined to elect the pro-status quo, anti-change candidate, Barack Obama, as President.


The power and money arrayed behind Obama seem unbeatable.





At the same time, it is inconceivable that the American people would elect a socialist President.





Obama has some explaining to do.





Slowly but surely "rock star" Barack Obama's lipstick


is coming off with every bad decision, and by now even


his vice president candidate Senator Joe Biden had to


admit:


Mrs. Clinton would've been the better pig pick.|||I do not think obama is a socialist be is a sway er.|||Chief, that's a good question. I've been asking the same thing myself, trying to figure out what Obama's actual ideology is, who this guy is. I have a hunch that if people really knew what his true ideology is, he wouldn't have gotten this far. He has a habit of associating with radicals. His economic ideology, at least, when you examine is at minimum quasi-Marxist. He went to a church for 2 yrs that preaches Black liberation theology, which has it's origins in Marxism. I believe that we're moving in a dangerous direction as a country. We now have the government bailing out Wall Street and owning these companies. . .that's a dangerous move toward socialism in itself.





As a democrat, I don't feel that I have any political home anymore because the party has been taken over by leftists. Obama is not a traditional democrat in any sense of the word, and McCain's economic policies are much closer to JFKs than Obama's are. Obama's economic ideology is based in the idea of class struggle, which is decidedly Marxist. Those of you who deny it need to take a look a Karl Marx's Communist Manifesto. The parallels are uncanny.





I came across an interesting quote last night. It's actually from Norman Thomas who was the leading Socialist in the US prior to his death. He once said, "The American people will never knowingly adopt Socialism, but under the name of Liberalism they will adopt every fragment of the Socialist program until one day America will be a Socialist nation without knowing how it happened."


I think that quote speaks volumes about what's happening right now in our country. We're treading dangerous water. |||I guess we could call him a democrat with a socialist agenda. With all that is going on with the economic crisis, he will not have any wealth to redistribute. It seems alot of things are coming together. There was a meeting of muslims that his campaign attended. It turned out to be radical muslims and of course he claims his campaign did not know that when they accepted the invite. The Law suit regarding his citizenship is still unsettled. Rezko is singing like a bird to get his sentence reduced. Ayers is getting more and more coverage, so much so that very few can now believe Obamas version of thisacquaintancee. And then there is ACORN busting wide open and it is well known they are registering dems for obama, dead or alive. Then on mon. Corsi returns from Kenya with his emails between Odinga and Obama. Supposedly Obama told him how to run his campaign and what to do if he loses the election. We all know the blood bath that ensued when Odinga lost. Who is Obama? He is well known by the people he has surrounded himself with.

Would you prefer Keeley Hazell as the Tory Party leader over David Cameron?

Who was the best Liberal/SDP/Liberal Democrat party leader since WWII? Who was the worst?

Please give reasons.|||This is a tough one to answer - since it's difficult to judge a leader who wasn't in power. By that, as the only one who has ever tasted being in government Nick Clegg is simultaneously best and worst.



In terms of picking a "best", Nick Clegg is the only one who has ever succeeded in making the party relevant. I might have picked Charles Kennedy (I liked him, %26amp; sacking somebody because he liked a drink was ridiculous), but he was opposed to the LibDems joining in a coalition with the tories - which begs the question as to what he thought the purpose of the party was, if not to have a say in the way this country is governed?



At the same time, Nick Clegg should have realised that a hung parliament was the most likely way that the party would ever have a say - there's a certain pledge that should never have been made, since the only way it could only possibly have been kept would be if they won a majority.



Paddy Ashdown was good, and has managed to this day to retain respect from across the political spectrum.



David Steel came pretty close to winning an election, and probably would but for Thatcher's election-winning war in the Falklands.



Overall, I'm going to pick Paddy Ashdown as best, but Nick Clegg %26amp; David Steel have a case.



Worst? David Owen.



His marked antipathy towards the left of the party caused damaging divisions, leaving the party difficult to take seriously %26amp; open to satire (wonderfully exploited by Spitting Image amongst others).



Favoured a hard line over the miners' strike.



More recently he spoke out against the move to AV, succeeding in convincing a lot of people that a NO vote in the referendum would somehow pave the way for Proportional Representation. Any signs of that happening?



Undoubtedly a talented politician, but a snake in the grass.|||Let's educate a few of these Americans:



Liberal leaders:

Sir Archibald Sinclair (1935-45)

Clement Davies (1945-56)

Jo Grimond (1956-67 and 1976)

Jeremy Thorpe (1967-76)

David Steel (1976-88)



SDP Leaders:

Roy Jenkins (1981-83)

David Owen (1983-87 and 1988-90)

Robert Maclennan (1987-88)



SLD/Liberal Democrat Leaders:

Paddy Ashdown (1988-99)

Charles Kennedy (1999-2006)

Sir Menzies Campbell (2006-2007)

Vince Cable (2007)

Nick Clegg (2007-date)



Jeremy Thorpe was leader during the Liberal breakthrough in February 1974, when they took second place in a large number of constituencies, and was therefore the main challenger in many seats.



The two Davids set up the Alliance, which achieved a solid local authority base, as well as being taken seriously at last by the media. Media attention did the Alliance no favours, especially the Spitting Image puppets, which destroyed David Steel's credibility.



Paddy Ashdown picked up the broken pieces of the Alliance, and brought the merged party back to the same level it was in the mid 1980s.



Nick Clegg led the party into Government, but the compromises over firm pledges he made during the General Election in 2010 has affected the party's core vote - notably students - so we have to see if the party recovers in time for 2015.



I think my favourite was Jo Grimond, who set the philosophical foundation of the party in the early 1960s and enabled a whole generation to campaign effectively on sound principles (even though too many failed to understand them). There was a good feeling in the Liberal Party concerning localism, individuality and a great sense of justice both at home and abroad.



The worst? Probably Sir Menzies Campbell, although it was hardly his fault. He is the same age as both Paddy Ashdown and outgoing Tory leader Michael Howard, who made a big deal of how he was too old to lead a party and was handing the leadership over to a younger man. Now Dracula still had his black hair and looked about 10 years younger than Menzies Campbell, so the media were merciless, portraying Ming as a doddery old fool. A pity, since he was extremely effective as Foreign Affairs spokesman during the Iraq war.|||The best democrat was John F. Kennedy


The worst was either Jimmy Carter or Bill Clinton|||Clinton, because he had Republican Congress majority and Newt Gingrich tell him how to fix our debt problems .|||Paddy Ashdown, great bloke.

Why has the death threats of Eric Fuller(democrat) against aTEA PARTY leader going unreported in the lib media?

could it be its the lies of the lib media pushed him to do it?...who are the real responsible parties?http://www.theblaze.com/stories/shooting鈥?/a>|||Because they are only interested in blaming the TEA Party.

Death threats are nothing new anyway. Every single political leader on both sides has received them. It's not news.|||Because the liberal media is very bias. They will only report things that go in their favor or they will put a twist on a story to make it go in their favor.|||Since I saw this story on Keith Olberman last night, I guess he's now part of the right wing media|||He actually meant something positive when he said that. Nice way of taking him out of context.|||Guess it's cause Wolf Blitzer would rather talk to Sheriff Dumpazzfor half an hour.|||I have seen it and I do not watch fox news,so wrong

Conservative Party Leader Succession?

When Stephen Harper steps down as leader of the Conservative Party of Canada, who do you think will be his successor?|||If you asked this a couple months ago, I would have said Jim Prentice or possibly Peter McKay. I have a feeling that unless the old Progressive Conservative wing of the party stands up and takes some control it might be someone like Jon Baird.|||Tony Clement

Who is the leader of the democatic party?

Is there one leader that a Party follows in the US? for example in the UK, Blair is the leader of the Labor party so by that he become Prime minister, same in canada, Harper is the leader of the conservatives and he become PM, the leader of the Liberals be default becomes the head of the opposition and all levels of governement, i.e parlement and the senate follow his lead.





How does that work in the US? I know there are a couple of different leaders one for the house, and one for the senate and of course there is the President, but is there 1 leader for a party that speaks on behalf of the party at the federal and state level?|||Each party has a Party Chariperson. Often, this person is not an elected member of any government body. Current, Howard Dean is chairperson of the Democratic Party and Mike Duncan is chairman of the Republican Party. But the chairs are more organizers, not necessarily leaders.

In the actual government, the Democratic party's leaders are House of Representatives Speaker Nancy Pelosi %26amp; the Senate's majority Leader Harry Reid.





However, the actual political party itself has leadership, which has no part in the governmental system. The Chairman of the Democratic Party, who along with a bunch of other people, help form the political platform (ideas and policies) of the party, is Howard Dean.|||There are 3:


1) Nancy Pelosy, Speaker of the House

Is it right to consider the British National Party and its charismaric leader Nick Griffin as "xenophobics"?

I麓m sure you know well the difference between the term "xenophobic" and the term "racist." For example, a political party can be xenophobic, but not racist, if it refuses to accept any type of immigrants, including whites. Meanwhile, a political party can be racist, but not xenophobic, if it accepts the white immigrants but rejects the native blacks and asiatics who were born and live legally in the country.|||Yes, it is right to call it xenophobic. Blaming immigration for economics is wilfully simplistic. When immigration appears to have a negative economic effect, that exposes the exploitative, punitive and oppressive nature of the economic policies and proves nothing about immigrants. Groups like BNP would make excuses for the policies and scapegoat based on visual criteria that requires no intelligence or knowledge to understand. Is that not textbook xenophobia?|||No, xenophobes hate and fear foreigners. Racists generally hate people of a different race.





You can want your country to be predominantly occupied by your own people, and believe too many foreigners and people of a different race (and culture) is damaging your society and culture without fearing or hating them.





I, like the vast majority of English people, believe just that. I hate what mass immigration has done to our society. But I neither hate nor fear foreigners.





I am proud to be an Englishman and I think (for example) Indians should be proud to be Indians and proud of their ancient culture. I respect them and their culture. That does NOT mean I want millions of Indian people living in England.





It's typical of today's PC world that wanting our country to remain English can attract such a nonsensical label as racist or xenophobic. No wonder the BNP is attracting so much support.|||Griff is our boy and he is fighting for us, racist no, realist most defiantly, don't confuse xenophobia with concern you don't need t be a racist to be concerned.





Hey I'll tel you what don't hide behind your question now you have made it clear where you stand come out and debate it. You can start by telling us about those ordinary white indigenous people who are concerned at the number of immigrants already here and still streaming in. Are they all racists? come on we want to know.





ATB Red|||No. Griffin is an old-fashioned white supremacist racist, and has been for 30 years.





http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_EhJQ-WwbN6Q/Si鈥?/a>|||No because xenophobia is the fear of foreigners and Nick Griffin isnt scared of foreigners he just doesnt like them.|||How is racism not xenophobia?

Bill Clinton as a party leader?

When Bill was in office how did he fill the role of party leader?|||Bill Clinton certainly did fill the role as party leader, and he was one of America's best leaders since Lyndon Johnson and FDR.

In Switzerland, Turkish Labour Party leader whose name Perincek is judged by Swiss Court. What do you think ?

Dogu Perincek is a leader of Turkish Labour Party. He said that, 'So-called Armenian Genocide is a lie' . What about freedom of thought ?


Is this Europa ? Why do people wear 'Horse-Glasses' ?


I am curiosly your answer.


Kind Regards|||Europa is talking about that there is no independence of ideas in turkiye [because of 301. law which says a person who insults turkiye or turks, are punished], while they have such kind of laws, even also they get involved about the so-called genocide which is nothing to do with them. So, where is the indepedence of ideas in Europa?





Perincek has gone to Switzerland with many documents which show that there is no genocide and turks have been killed by armenians, too. if someone says there is armenian genocide, s/he has to say there is turkish genocide, too. Even turkish archieves are open and turks doesnt take these claims seriously, many people believe in the genocide so that in their country armenians talk about a so-called genocide so much.





Why those countries accept this nonsense thing by their courts or laws and dont let historians talk about it?





This is the ignorance of big, modern and improved Europa. Or this is a politic effort against turkiye...

NO ARMENIAN GENOCIDE ITS A LIE OF PEOPLE WHO SEEKS MONEY AND LAND.........|||A dear friend of my family was an orphan survivor of the Armenian genocide. He found refuge here in the USA, so you cannot tell me it did not happen.


It is a bad habit of the Turkish establishment to deny that the Armenian genocide ever happened. You may remember that the Turkish Armenian Hrant Dink was prosecuted in Turkey for asserting the reality of the Armenian genocide, and was then murdered for telling this truth.


I don't think that Perincek will be murdered in Switzerland, whatever he may say.


I am from USA, and I think free speech is essential. I have always felt that in the free market-place of ideas, the truth will come out.


Therefore, I would not favor laws against denying a well-known genocide, as idiotic and evil as this denial is.


Still, I understand the European point of view; they are afraid the horror of the Jewish holocaust could be repeated.


I don't know if you are aware of this, but Hitler used the success of the Armenian genocide to justify his genocide against the Jews.

He thought that if Turkey could get away with the Armenian genocide, he could get away with killin all the Jews.|||First of all,it is illogical to blame an empire for being racist.Racism within the boundaries of an empire is far removed from the social science,because the subjects and accordingly the administration of an empire is made up from various nations,creeds and cultures.For that reason,almost all of the eminent rulers of the Ottoman Empire were of Greek,Serbian,Jewish,etc.Racism would be the main cause for the empire to split up.What happened was this:some Armenian armed groups, financed by the the Allied, supported the Allied Forces,yet the Ottoman Empire took the German side at WW 1.The Ottoman Empire drove the Armenian population to Syria,which was a province of the Ottomans then,as a precaution just like American administration collected Japanese immigrants in the camps during the American-Japanese war and like Stalin drove Turkic peoples to the inner part of Russia from the borders of the Ottoman Empire(my grandparents fled to Anatolia then,but all of their relatives were expelled to Kazakhistan and my grandparents never saw them again).Today,the toll during the journey to Syria is assumed to be a genocide by many European states,but they ignore thousands of Azerbaijani civilians killed by Armenians in Nagorno-Karabakh.The worst of all,the court that was set up for the war crimes commited by the Serbs in Bosnia verdicted that what Serbs did to Bosnians was not a genocide.(8000 Bosnian men were killed only in the small town of Serebrenica by Serbs)excluding the other towns and the women and girls systematically raped by Serbs.|||Freedom of thought.

Was hitler a good leader of his party or did someone else manage the party behind the scenes?

I just want to know because I thought that he was a good speaker and could motivate the people but he did not know how to manage the party. Am I correct?|||As of 11/27/2009 four answers in and no one seems capable of giving you an answer. Weird.


That said. Yes Hitler can be cited as a 'good' leader of his party and it can be argued that it was his party ("It;s My Party and I'll Goose Step if I Want To." Lesslie Gore, 1964).


In 1919 Adolf Hitler was floundering. He had found a sense of 'calling' by serving in the German Army in The Great War, but with the war ending in defeat, Hitler was uncertain what to do only knowing he did not want to return to work as a self employed artist (the pay sucked and the benefits were not all that great). The Army, in tatters after its defeat, yet wanting to have a say in post war Germany, decided to send Hitler to investigate a small political party then named the 'German Worker's Party.' Then as Now, in Germany as in America, the word 'workers' conjured up images of commies intent on communizing the country.


INSTEAD, Hitler found a group of well meaning but doddering 'old' men who were vaguely socialist, virulently Nationalist (think Sarah Palin), and anti-Semetic. Hitler not only joined the party, he transformed it. Hitler got rid of the word 'Workers,' coming up with the nifty National Socialist Party, which implied Nationalism, Socialism (which was not all that bad in Germany at the time) and as History has proved, the abbreviation, NAZI was catchy memorable and formidable. Hitler conjored up all sorts of tricks: example, let up say you joined u, the fifty third person to do so, well guess what, your membership card showed than you were the ONE THOUSANTH and Fifty Third Member, wow this is one big party. HITLER came up with the FLAG, and all sorts of details (he was an artist, after all), and Hitler retained those members who were effective in their jobs, while adding former Army contacts who helped to make the NAZI party into an effective organization.


In short, Hitler was good behind the scenes, effectively transforming it; after time, Hitler did grow lazy, once he had the right henchmen in place he let them manage the party, though his was the final word, especially when others (the Strassers in particular) thought that the NAZI Party was a Political Party and not Hitler's Personal Party (again think Palin). So though Hitler became the face and especially the voice of the NAZI Party, he did pull the strings and push the buttons.

""In 1919 Anton Drexler, Gottfried Feder and Dietrich Eckart formed the German Worker's Party (GPW) in Munich. The German Army was worried that it was a left-wing revolutionary group and sent Adolf Hitler, one of its education officers, to spy on the organization. Hitler discovered that the party's political ideas were similar to his own. He approved of Drexler's German nationalism and anti-Semitism but was unimpressed with the way the party was organized. Although there as a spy, Hitler could not restrain himself when a member made a point he disagreed with, and he stood up and made a passionate speech on the subject.


Anton Drexler was impressed with Hitler's abilities as an orator and invited him to join the party. At first Hitler was reluctant, but urged on by his commanding officer, Captain Karl Mayr, he eventually agreed. He was only the fifty-fourth person to join the German Worker's Party. Hitler was immediately asked to join the executive committee and was later appointed the party's propaganda manager.


In the next few weeks Hitler brought several members of his army into the party, including one of his commanding officers, Captain Ernst Roehm. The arrival of Roehm was an important development as he had access to the army political fund and was able to transfer some of the money into the GWP.


The German Worker's Party used some of this money to advertise their meetings. Adolf Hitler was often the main speaker and it was during this period that he developed the techniques that made him into such a persuasive orator.


Hitler's reputation as an orator grew and it soon became clear that he was the main reason why people were joining the party. This gave Hitler tremendous power within the organization as they knew they could not afford to lose him.


In April, 1920, Hitler advocated that the party should change its name to the National Socialist German Workers Party (NSDAP). Hitler had always been hostile to socialist ideas, especially those that involved racial or sexual equality. However, socialism was a popular political philosophy in Germany after the First World War. This was reflected in the growth in the German Social Democrat Party (SDP), the largest political party in Germany.


Hitler, therefore redefined socialism by placing the word 'National' before it. He claimed he was only in favour of equality for those who had "German blood". Jews and other "aliens" would lose their rights of citizenship, and immigration of non-Germans should be brought to an end.


In February 1920, the NSD|||Mahalo!

|||***I do not think Hitler was a cool guy, but dismissing him wholesale as an evil maniac does an enormous disservice to the memories of those who fought against him. We must learn as much as we can about him***





Leader, perhaps. Opportunist, definitely.





I cannot speak definitively on his leadership skills, but a glance through his accomplishments during the early years of the party I believe demonstrate an ability to bring the right people into his fold.





In bringing the stamp of fascism to the idea of German nationalism that had been raped at Versailles, Hitler did not act alone. He brought faithful aides to his side, like G枚ring and Himmler, who shared his fanatical views on nationalism to manage the frightful functional aspects of party operations. The upstart Austrian used the revered figures of the Prussian military class, to include none other than President Paul von Hindenburg to ensure the trust of the German people and wrest control of the partisan alliances that would make him Reichskanzler in 1933 and F眉hrer upon Hindenburg's death in 1934.





Once so invested with power, he rode the wave of Weimar innovations such as fixing of the currency to a commodity standard to create his own achievements. Unopposed and victorious military ventures only buttressed the support of those who had placed him in power. I think it is clear from the decapitation efforts against him by his own Army officers during the war show that he was definitely in charge.





You can't argue with Hitler's ability to marshal people and resources to his own benefit while keeping himself firmly on top of the heap.|||Like any leader he had experts help him and heaps of support from Industry which is basically all he worried about once elected as Chancellor. He may have scored a couple of good points to help the people but at the same time he could not be swayed to listen to better advise where it counts.


He was obsessed with power beyond his means and threatened anybody who stood in his way.


His means of gaining manipulative power borders on the fringes of illegalities never seen before in politics as he threatened civil war if he did not get the support he demanded.


With these sorts of practices that distort civil and democratic rights of the people combined with him having literally dissolved (with threats) the oppositional parties it should not have been difficult to be the leader, on top of this Hitler was not really fit to be a leader, his bohemian life style from his early days was carried with him into governing the country. He sat up all hours of the night watching movies and rarely did he ever surpass 2 hours of paperwork in any one day no matter how pressing the situation was.|||Hitler was not exactly someone who would allow somebody else to control him. Whether upfront or behind the scenes. Those that tried didn't retire, if you get my drift.

Just like they have been USING Condi. I personally can't stand her, but she's just their "token" and with her they get two in one (black %26amp; female) - then they have her write a resolution and then tell her not to vote on it. (and of course she OBEYS)





I can see you don't spend much time around "Republicans". Their idea of "politically correct" is to let one in the room, they don't get to speak of course, but they let them in the room, what MORE do you want?


Truly, you don't expect them to ACTUALLY fraternize now do you?





How do you think Palin got where she got - an airhead, a not bad looking airhead token they would have used to get the WH, but do you think for one second she would have had a FRACTION of the power Cheney had? She was supposed to excite, help them win, and then go home and take care of her 5 kids. Why do you think they were so surprised that she didn't win the election for them? We were just supposed to LOOK at her and listen to the Rove BS, NOT actually interview her. Look, they gave us a FEMALE to vote for, it matters not that she didn't know her head from a hole in the ground, she was female that (in their small minds) should have taken the Hillary voters and clinched it for them.





HA HA HA HA HA HA HA





The party of the red-necked "superior" bigot with a person of color/female telling THEM what to do?





HA HA HA HA HA HA HA





ROFL, I just can't stop laughing.





Oh, to answer your question, not in our lifetime, or our childrens, or even our grandchildrens.

She DIDN'T WANT to be President.....a fact that O-sham-a must be VERY thankful for.

So I guess about another 24 years.|||Republicans don't elect people based on their skin color, there is no need to elect someone simply because they're not white. Rev.

I could consider voting for him.|||go to any republican gathering and you can count the non whites on one hand. The republican party is made up of all whites, while the democrats are all-inclusive. So which party is more inclusive? And a token black republican is just that--a token.|||When there is a competant one that wants to serve in such a position.... We don't just elect people of minorities for the sheer fact they are a part of a minority...

http://www.aarlc.org/index.asp





We Republicans have many excellent African American officials despite having a very small African American support base. Whereas Democrats have only 1 African American Senator despite having an ENORMOUS African American support base. When Democrats speak of equality, it is just empty rhetoric.

Why did a Tea Party leader verbally abuse a Parkinson's victim?

Tea Baggers are the scum of this country.|||A credible question would have a credible link. This is the first I have heard of this latest rummer about the Tea Party. Answer: It didn't happen, this is a rummer (lies, falsification, fabrication) created by the far left to discredit the Tea Party. It seems that all the far left has to discredit the many millions that show up at Tea Parties is the malicious lies they fabricate in their own mind.

The Conservative Party's move further towards the Bush-Reagan mix of free market economics with social conservatism makes the somewhat mercurial Liberals look more moderate, despite their own rightward drift. An emphasis on environmental issues has helped the Liberals downplay deep differences within the party on other key issues. The Greens, more fiscally conservative than most of their sister parties, also harbour significant left-right differences within their ranks. Similarly Bloc Qu茅b茅cois is united in its core cause, but considerably divided in other policy areas. In provinces where the NDP has governed in recent years, social spending cutbacks and other nods towards neoliberalism place the party today closer to where the Liberals were two decades ago.

What happens if the Leader of a party does not win in his riding in a Canadian federal election?

For example. Harper's riding is Calgary South. What would happen If he were to loose and the liberal candidate won the seat in Calgary South but the Conservatives still won the majority seats in the country? Would Harper still remain Prime Minister even though he actually lost in the election? Would he take over another MPs seat from another riding? Or would he have to step down as leader and someone who won a seat would have to take over as Prime Minister?
