It was one of the pro bullet points for government healthcare.

If you mean I don't want someone taking care of me against my will... yes I am.

If you mean I feel a thrill going up my leg about the potential candidates in the upcoming election... no I'm not.

I was going to post about the Rep. Party Candidates, but it sounds like a porn film:

1) Newt Gingrich - adultery, adultery, open marriage, divorce, open marriage, divorce while wife is dying, adultery, open marriage, divorce while wife is diagnosed with MS, etc, etc. But, I have heard he has changed his ways.

2) Rick Santorum - thank Heaven that the #1 result from a Google search on Santorum has changed....

3) Mitt Romney - missionary / mormon / enough said

4) Herman Cain - deja vu from Clarence Thomas / Anita Hill thingy. Can I get a pubic hair on my pizza and my coke?!!

Based on the above sexual overtones, and frothy disturbances, I have to vote for Ron Paul in Republican Primary. He is the only one not trying to subliminally sex me up. Ya know?!

I CAN'T WAIT UNTIL NOVEMBER!!!!!!

I believe that's reverse-derailing? Shocked

I'm with drifter on the voting. Give me someone worth voting for instead of just someone to vote for.

The question NOBODY seems willing to even ask: can this country AFFORD quality health care for all? I'm not sure, but I'm afraid the answer is "NO".

If each and every individual does not make enough money to pay the high costs of modern technological medical care (and we clearly DON'T), then I don't see how we can COLLECTIVELY pay it, either. I'm a liberal democrat on most issues, but I fear single-payer health care in the the U.S. today is essentially wishing for 1 + 1 + 1 = 750. It doesn't add up, because we simply can't afford it no matter how we pool our pennies. Medical degrees and MRI machines are figgin' EXPENSIVE.

Shame you edited your original post, 'cause I woulda respectfully fisked you. I will say this, though: Anyone who proclaims themselves a "Republican", then declares they're gonna vote for Obama in 2012, isn't a Republican, or conservative, or whatever. Sorry, dude, but I gotta question your understanding of history and politics after posting something like that. It doesn't make any sense whatsoever, and I think you're just trying to be a contrarian and stir up trouble. As for being trolled, you aren't, so maybe you should stop being so fucking defensive.

I would like to see patriotism come before politics, and neither major party qualifies IMHO. I think big money has thoroughly corrupted Washington, DC but much of the US population remains willfully blind to it....

Condoleezza Rice vs Hillary Clinton in 2016.

woohoo.

Only 4 years and 9 months to go.

Personally, as a conservative, I wish we had someone with a majority of Ron Paul's ideas and Mitt Romney's "Obama Charisma"...

engie · Lux Dynamo Joined: 02 Aug 2010 Posts: 641 Location: Tejas

Ron Paul's lack of "charisma" isn't the problem... His views on foreign policy and certain social issues are in direct conflict with the views of the GOP base, unfortunately. And this person wouldn't be able to run independent, because as you know that would screw the pooch for everyone but Obama.

P.S.- But I support genetically engineering a super-human "Mitt Paul" hybrid. We would be unstoppable!!!

Ron Paul is one of the few candidate's in recent years that hasn't been bought, sold, packaged, and repackaged by major corporate backers, PAC's, etc.

That makes his message worth listening to IMHO. Ralph Nader is another that comes to mind..... whether or not they're electable (given US standards) is another issue entirely.... Rolling Eyes

Big Will E Style · Posted: Mon Feb 06, 2012 2:58 pm Post subject:

I don't agree with everything Ron Paul says but I do agree with his platform of less government is better. I think most republicans in office are out of touch with what conservative means.

I don't agree with ron paul on a number of things, mainly his foreign policy, but what really confused me was his moon base plan. Where did that come from?

engie · Lux Dynamo Joined: 02 Aug 2010 Posts: 641 Location: Tejas

I believe you're thinking of Newt Gingrich, kude.

kude · Posted: Mon Feb 06, 2012 3:27 pm Post subject:

fine. Gingrich's. Still don't like paul's foreign policy.

funkyfreddy · Lux Newbie Joined: 14 Nov 2006 Posts: 109

Both Republicans and Democrats are for big government.... Democrats generally for increased domestic spending while Republicans love to fund great boondoggles such the "war on terror", "war on drugs", etc.

Both parties couldn't care less about civil liberties and generally look the other way while multi-nationals, banks, and other vampires bleed the US dry....

The lens through which we traditionally view politics need to be taken off.... don't vote for labels.... look at the money first and then try to see who profits from what policies......

I agree kude, Ron goes a tad too far on the whole isolationist ideology. I'm all for leaving the Middle East, bringing our troops home, and cutting the defense budget, but judging by the debates RP wants us to bend over and let everyone run all over us.
