I accidentally voted "other," but should've voted "Fiscal Conservative."

Nothing brightens my day more than thinking about all those dumb, starving children while I dive into my money bin like Scrooge McDuck...

I am wondering the same thing. If there are enough fiscal conservatives, it deserves its own poll. (There have probably already been some).

I have a hypothesis that there are a core of fundy / nationalist posters on P&N that overwhelm the discussion here and really drown out the reasonable fiscal conservative posts. IN CASE YOU DIDN'T NOTICE THE EARLIEST voters WERE THE RELIGIOUS ONES! In other words, you have the people that refresh every five seconds and vote quickly but there are actually few of them! Now that more time has passed the more casual fiscal consertives are showing their strength.

Weren't you for abortion? How do you consider yourself social conservative? Abortion seems to be the big test for the religious / social conservative category.

Well, I don't think I could be called socially/religiously liberal. The only reason I am for abortion is for fiscally conservative reasons.

Politics tests have literally put me just about on top of Bush, actually.

Oh, so you are a neo-con...yeah social conservative here!!...found one!! :)

LOL. I wonder who the other "others" are. Me thinks they are closet religious / social conservatives.

Nice try. There's no loaded question here. There's an "other" poll option and I asked if I forgot anything.

But you have insulted the nationalist and religious choices in your description. Don't you think that is likely to skew your results?

Yeah I made a mistake. I've added a sentence to clarify that my descriptions are seperate from the poll answers. And I hope it doesn't skew it too badly. I think most people just answer it right away when they come in a thread.

I think you missed the part that says the poll is independent of my comments. There's nothing inherently insulting about the phrases: "fiscal conservative; nationalist; religious / social conservative" And of course you have the other option. I have a feeling you're in the religious category. ;)

Lacking a font option to increase the size of the cookie, instead I'll just give you a bakers dozen.

:cookie::cookie::cookie::cookie::cookie::cookie::cookie::cookie::cookie::cookie::cookie::cookie::cookie:

And a nomination for 2004 troll of the year award. I think Dave has some serious competition!

You might have more authority if you didn't call every single post around a troll. Like when you called a link to a war video a tinfoil troll. :roll:

Why? I didn't personally flame anyone. There are poll options. And then I give my opinion. It doesn't break any rules. What kind of Republican are you?

You are a tad inaccurate, try not to be such a liar. I know it comes naturally, but work on it. I called GrGr's (re)post and website a troll, not the video.

I think you will find ample examples of where I will discuss posts reasonably. The majority of your posts are trolls, or contain trolls, probably well over 90%. Right up there with Dave.

But since the mods allow trolls, I guess that means I'm allowed to point them out. Not against the rules, correct? Since you seem so concerned about the rules? Now run along...

Which banned troll are you? Why don't you tell me what kind of conservative you are since you don't like my options? Can you even do that?

Please stop crapflooding in this thread. If it really bothers you just stop posting in it. Thanks.

Primarily, which one are you?

Nice.

Remember I'm a Religious Zealot The most dangerous and radical type.


If you read the disclaimer you would see that my descriptions are independent of my description. And I didn't say anybody HAD to be one of those. There was the OTHER option. Hardly insulting when you just have to select enter and explain what kind of Republican you are. Of course nobody has done that.

Again, I'm asking you nicely to stop crapflooding in the thread. If you have anything to say about the classficiation or what type of conservative you are, I'd be happy to hear it.

Is it any worse for me to be a banned troll than for you to be an unbanned troll? The only reason you haven't been banned is because the mods are flaming liberals.

I'm none of the above. I've never voted for a Republican. Shortly after turning 18 I learned that there were more than the two parties they attempt to indoctrinate you into in public school, and have voted for third parties ever since.

But nice attempt, troll.

Lol so you admit it. The fact that you've been suggests you have broken rules.

I've only seen them ban for personal flames. It's when things get personal they get mad. I haven't gotten personal.

Are you a conservative?

If you have faith in 3rd parties I suggest you look up Duverger's law. We are in a two party system not by choice but because of the electoral system. If we didn't have first-past the post system 3rd parties would be viable but they are not.

I was banned for something stupid and petty not related to politics. At least I can admit when I'm trolling. You're so blindly partisan you don't even recognize you're trolling.

Bannings, maybe. But they quickly lock trolling threads. Only if you're a trolling conservative though; a trolling liberal is fine.

Yeah, the two party system has done us well. Choose from moron Bush or hypocrite Kerry. I'd rather throw my vote away on a third party and be able to live with my choice than have to cast a vote for either one of those disgusting Republicrats.

None of this changes that fact that you're an officially sanctioned P&N Liberal Troll.
