Re: Not the answer ...

Regardless of who wins, our officials must reach across the isles. President Reagan passed many laws with a Democrat congress and pulled the country together. These batch of politicians seem to polarize and enrage the other side for extremist views.

You mean the same Ronald Reagan who went to notorious Philadelphia Mississippi(Of Mississippi Burning fame & the murder of three civil rights workers) before his 1980 Election & kept up the successful "SOUTHERN STRATEGY" of the Republican Party pandering to Soutern White prejudices.
With "LIP SERVICE" to states rights as the White Supremist had done since the days of Slavery/Reconstruction/Jim Crow to insure Black subjugation in the South?

You mean the same Ronald Reagan that tried to force to Supreme Court to drop it's tax exemption case against Bob Jones Uiversity which prohibited interracial dating & marriage at the Southern CONservative/Segregationist College?

No he wasn't a polarizing figure:rolleyes:

BTW, anyone who wants to start pointing fingers on racism (let alone sexism) should look at Bill Clinton. It's not merely the fact that he had a white-only golf club membership before the 1992 election, but he dropped it and then re-added after he was elected in 1993. ;)

People can play games all they want. It's that type of partisan, "oh, know this about your candidate, while I ignore my own candidate's issues" hypocrisy that is what kills me about the American mob.

I think that is where most people are confused. CLINTON never ran on a divisive PARTY PLATFORM which pandered to , socially speaking,the worst our society has to offer. Tiger Woods played at the Masters & I am certain most minorities didn't begruge him & 99% minorities probably have overall more pressing issues than Golf Club memberships. :dunno:

I doubt whether African Americans feign to know a Politicians HEART ,but seem to be interested in his PLATFORM/Party Inclusiveness especially with the LACK OF OPTIONS in candidates throughout the history of this country.

My point was Clinton himself made it an issue, and then turn around and silently rejoined after the election. ;)

In general, this is what I hate most about politicians. E.g., anyone who thinks Clinton-Gore did anything for Kyoto needs to re-read their history. It's not a W. thing at all. ;)

I've always said that had the US Constitution been drafted more recently, African Americans would be more formally represented. Just like small states combined, with their population being sub-10% versus the large states combined.

In reality, I spend 100x the time worrying about how I'm going to turn my wife on the most than what politicians say they are going to do to fix the issues. In reality, people fucking up on their own is the primary responsibility for that problem, and politicians just cater to their ignorance and excuses.

I just have to. I'm done with the non-sense. Less than $40K/year goes into my checking account (on a good year, less than $15K/year on a bad one), and I'm stuck funding most of the socialist/facist spending and interest on the debt being in the highest tax bracket. That's the price I pay for being responsible, living thrifty and saving, with no credit card debt and less than $50K in my mortgage (none on my cars, and I'm about to pay off my house -- which I bought as a fixer).

Again he wasn't pandering to that same (as someone here called)"SOUTHERN RED NECK" constituency that has been the Republican Parties bread & butter since the 60's. If Clinton marched lock step(for the most part) with DEMPCRATIC Party Platform(which Blacks obviously prefer) I doubt if they would care if he butt fucked David Duke after the election.:dunno: As long as his policy was ClOSEST to their best interest since their OPTIONS have been very limited.

No offense, but I've seen it on the Democratic side as well, since the '60s as well. This "Republicans are bigots" non-sense gets old. From the Civil Rights vote to the "Affirmative Action" on college entrance while ignoring the "10% Rule," which the Urban League seems to like more (because it actually gets inner city kids into college, instead of already affluent minorites).

This superiority assumption, based on breaking down voting, gets old, and it doesn't always apply. Sure, the NAACP tend to be pro-Demo, but the Urban League does vary.

The irony is that with your own statements you want to "dump all minorities" into one camp. The concept of "group rights" are a serious affront to individualism and freedom, and I take very serious issue with it. I'm sorry, I will not subscribe to it.

I will not subscribe to it any more than Democrats/Republicans are better/worse for various minorities. After all, I've seen a lot of major lip-service done to minorities by Democrats without any teeth.

Here in Florida, laws were passed under Chiles (D) and never enforced until Jeb (R) took the governors chair. Then people complained about "Affirmative Action" and all Jeb could say was, "hey, I'm just enforcing the laws that have been on the books for years, but never enforced."

Lip service is different than actual "action." It's politics. Again, I will reiterate Kyoto. That is my personal favorite, by far.
 
I started having a problem ...

Maybe not a racist . . . but surely a disrespectful a-hole as demonstrated ->
1x 2
Beyond the sexism (and I'm not talking about Monica), I started having a real problem with the business ethics of politicians starting with the Clintons and Gores. And it hasn't ended with Cheney either.

It just goes to the circular ethics and responsibility problem we have with people in the US. People say their attitude reflects leadership. I say the leadership is a result of their attitude and indifference in both.

Who would the leaders of Taliban, Al Qauda or Colombias FARC vote for?

Like I've said before, I have no doubt that problems with these terrorist armies, venezuela, and every other trouble making, chaos causing group and government will only increase if a democrat is elected.
Why? Beacause they know they can get away with it, un challenged, un checked.
Carte blanche.

certainly not for the republicans, saying that is lacking sense of analysis. They will vote for "Dear Obama" because he is very sympathetic of Islam and has friends like Louis Farrakhan and Rachid Khalidi. The Al Quaedians and Talibans like people who have a foreign pro arab policy, it is clearly obvious. I wouldn't trust Obama for fighting against terrorism and for managing the US Armed Forces.

You are caricaturing the southern states voters, I don't think that by systematically bashing republican voters, it adds something positive nor constructive. People vote for who represents their interest the best and yes honest working average joes don't like leech offs, ghetto scumbags and criminals as well as illegal citizens who are doing their best to get free Medicare, free Social Security and this without working nor busting their asses off. When you will have understood that socialism is a definite no in the USA, perhaps you will understand why people vote Republican.

Just curious georges; what do you think of the 700 Billion US bailout (sorry for going off topic)?

AFA's list from his thread called "E-mail food for thought" belongs over here too as well as in all those Sarah Palin threads.:thumbsup:

JUST FACTS AS FOOD FOR THOUGHT


Wait...I'm confused...



Greetings. I'm confused.....

* If you grow up in Hawaii, raised by your grandparents, you're
"exotic, different."

* If you grow up in Alaska eating moose burgers, you're a
quintessential American story.

* If your name is Barack, you're a radical, unpatriotic Muslim.

* If you name your kids Willow, Trig and Track, you're a
maverick.

* If you graduate from Harvard law School, you are unstable.

* If you attend 5 different small colleges before graduating,
you're well grounded.

* If you spend 3 years as a brilliant community organizer,
become the first black President of the Harvard Law Review, create a
voter registration drive that registers 150,000 new voters, spend 12
years as a Constitutional Law professor, spend 8 years as a State
Senator representing a district with over 750,000 people, become
chairman of the state Senate's Health and Human Services committee,
spend 4 years in the United States Senate representing a state of 13
million people while sponsoring 131 bills and serving on the Foreign
Affairs, Environment and Public Works and Veteran's Affairs
committees, you don't have any real leadership experience.

* If your total resume is: local weather girl, 4 years on the
city council and 6 years as the mayor of a town with less than 7,000
people, 20 months as the governor of a state with only 650,000 people,
then you're qualified to become the country's second highest ranking
executive.

* If you have been married to the same woman for 19 years while
raising 2 beautiful daughters, all within Protestant churches, you're
not a real Christian.

* If you cheated on your first wife with a rich heiress, and
left your disfigured wife and married the heiress the next month, you're
a Christian.

* If you teach responsible, age appropriate sex education,
including the proper use of birth control, you are eroding the fiber of
society.

* If, while governor, you staunchly advocate abstinence only,
with no other option in sex education in your state's school system,
while your unwed teen daughter ends up pregnant, you're very
responsible.

* If your wife is a Harvard graduate lawyer who gave up a
position in a prestigious law firm to work for the betterment of her
inner city community, then gave that up to raise a family, your family's
values don't represent America's.

* If you're husband is nicknamed "First Dude", with at least
one DWI conviction and no college education, who didn't register to vote
until age 25 and once was a member of a group that advocated the
secession of Alaska from the USA, your family is extremely admirable.

i have already seen that shitty email, it just vcitimizes the poor obama. oh boohoo:scream::wtf:
 
a) indifferent rich people
b) uneducated stupid fucks
c) illiterate white supremacists
d) misogynistic redneck scum


I guess these are the only four explanations anyone can have for not sharing your worldview.

Keep up the good work! You're an exemplary ambassador of the putative Party of tolerance, non-judgmentalism and acceptance.
 
Funny stuff... anytime I see "Republicans are racist" I always wonder by what standard this assessment was taken. I mean, Civil Rights act anyone? Anyone with KKK history?

I suppose it must be the 'you can do it' approach rather than 'you cant do it without me' that brands Republicans as evil.
 
For the first time because of Obama and his lunatics in Congress Pelosi, Reed and Frank, oh wait and that idiot Biden.

Yeah, as if the Repugnican Party represents "tolerance." You people have no shame.

Biden's an idiot, is he? I suppose you think that "Dubya" is a genius, then? What are you doing checking out a porn site, anyway? I thought Repugnicans were anti-porn? Oh, I get it - you only come to freeones.com to discuss politics with people online. Yeah, right.
 
Republican mantra = Fear. Manipulating the fears of people to get elected.
Democrat mantra = Change. Manipulating the hopes of people to get elected.

Yes, its cynical.

Yes, i agree with Will E Worm about the Republicrats and how a thrid party should be welcome.

Yet, im canadian - an outside observer - so its a foreign point-of-view...
