IMHO the race is over.

I prefer an unlimited government Democrat to an unlimited government Republican. At least the Democrat won't be pretending to be something other than what he/she is when it comes to government.

That's just dumb thinking brother! Sorry. :tonofbricks:

That's just dumb thinking brother!

Maybe so. Maybe so. But it is mine.

I have to admit that some of this is my reaction to the pretty constant Democrat/liberal bashing that takes place in this forum. The Democrats really aren't as bad and the Republicans really aren't as good as some people protray them to be in this forum.

 

[saturneptune]

Maybe so. Maybe so. But it is mine.

Except for Ron Paul, they are all big government candidates for the establishment, status-quo.

You know, we are not mandated to choose the lesser of two evils?

God Bless! :thumbs:

 

[carpro]

Nor really. I prefer an unlimited government Democrat to an unlimited government Republican.

Anyone that can go from being a Ron Paul supporter to an Obama supporter is... confused, to say the least. :BangHead:

Things would be much more well defined by party if Giuliani and Romney would become Democrats, and Ron Paul would move back to the Liberterian Party.

So, if you end up with Giulani or Romney as Republican candidates, will you cut of your nose to spite your face too and throw your support to either Obama or Hillary?

Lets see, how many times have I said this in other threads. NO. No votes for Democrats. Since Giuliani and Romney have the same moral bearing as the Democrats, NO to them also. It is called third party vote if it is a Giuliani/Romney vs any Democrat race.

To dig a little deeper, why do you think it is that the Democrats have such a good chance this year?

Unlike KenH, you're consistent. You have a political anchor. :thumbs:

Saying some nice things about Obama and admiring some of his foreign policy prescriptions make me a supporter of his?

Are you saying there is something wrong with finding areas of agreement with my political opponents?

Unlike some on this board you aren't afraid to look at information learn from it and adjust your opinions accordingly Ken. Imagine living in a little box and closing yourself off to any input that doesn't match your "label". I can't. Apparently alot of other folks can though.

 

[KenH]

Yeah, poncho, many of those on both the extreme right and the extreme left in our political system have fallen into a very, very bad habit of totally excoriating anyone with whom they disagree with.

So much for the days when liberals and conservatives could walk off the political battlefield and go down to the bar and have a drink together.

 

[carpro]

On a serious note, I would prefer Obama or Clinton in the White House compared to any of the Republicans except for Paul and Thompson.

In fact the more I read and hear from Obama the more I like him. I especially liked his foreign policy essay in Foreign Affairs last year.

You said you were serious.

Were you joking?

You actually sounded a little like a child who, if they couldn't get what they wanted , wanted to make sure no one else did either.

Maybe I misinterpreted your remarks. But I really don't think so. I think you're peddling backwards.

 

[KenH]

Does simply liking someone in certain areas mean that I will vote for him/her? I think not.

I wrote on this board months ago that I prefer to see the Democrats win big in 2008 if the Republicans nominate another Big Government "Conservative".

I am not a Republican and it wouldn't bother me at all to see this current incarnation of the GOP go the way of the Whigs.

I probably couldn't tell the difference between liberals and conservatives if I walked into that bar by mistake Ken. They're all lovers of big brother government and the warfare/welfare state now.

So you were being deliberately disingenious?

Describe it however you wish, carpro. It's no skin off of my nose.

Have a good evening, brother.
