Almost. Conservatives are God's gift to the rich, usually white population. And they are this country's last chance to survive. For the record, I'm a poor, white guy that works his ass off for a better life, loves guns, a woman's right to choose and thinks gay marriage is a travesty to all this country is built on.

Thanks Rush. Nice summary. :roll:

Hey, I have no problem with trying to protect the environment or help the needy but I happen to live in the land of free handouts (California) and we are taxed WAY TOO MUCH...and it doesn't do any good!!! I'd be a libertarian if there was half a chance in hell that any of their candidates could make it to a position in which they could actually do or affect something.

Quite frankly both parties are equally full of crap and anyone who believes that they have anything other than their own interests at heart is an idiot.

Yes, my response was very simplistic. Simple response to the other simple minded response above.
 
timelapse asks a valid question and some of you guys crap all over his thread. I don't think he wanted biased opinions. :disgust:
 
Right, so everyone either is a tree hugging, hippy, pot smoking, america destroying, terrorist loving liberal, or a fine, upstanding, angelic, wonderful, and super terrific conservative? There is no in between right? I even heard that conservatives farts smell like roses too!

You are correct, especially about the part I bolded. The trick is that YOU have to decide which side has YOUR best interests at heart. I am a Conservative. However, they oppose abortion, which I support. This kills me.

There is "a between" my friend. It's called "DAMN, I gotta pick one, right?" I choose based on who fights for the majority of what my interests are. NOBODY is 100% "For Mike." I gotta go with who can do 51%, you know?

Gotcha...thanks. Few...I'm glad the conservatives are soon going to deliver us to a utopian society and save us from all those america destroying libbies. Man, I can actually sleep tonight!

yes! everything except for the terrorist-loving part. they are against terrorism but feel that we should bomb terrorists with food rather than explosives, and that non-aggressive tactics would eventually remove saddam hussein from office

Typically?

Pro-abortion
Pro-gay marriage
Anti Racism
Anti Taxes = Liberal all the way

but

Anti environmentalist = Conservative

I'd say you're a liberal that hates being told where you can and can't go off-roading in your truck. 😀

How can anyone be "anti-environmentalist"? That just doesn't make any sense.

Is there anymore? I mean to hear people talk politics today, you are either a good american and follow blindly the current conservative leadership without question because they know what is best for us all, or you are plotting to destroy america and having gay orgies while hugging trees.

I need to figure on which side I am in before the election!!! 🙂 That is all, thanks.

I'd recommend you look at the issues that the different candidates support, and vote based on that. Of course, that would put you in a minority that doesn't blindly vote one way or the other 😉
