Quote from monty21:
I'm a registered Republican and view myself as a strong libertarian. I supported Ron Paul.
I find it unfortunate that the word "liberal" is given such negative connotations. All it means is support of progressive action or reform. Sometimes it is good to no longer maintain the status-quo. No one can argue about.
And yet it's sad how certain "redneck" Republicans assume liberal means some evil form of ideology or so forth.
Quote from cgroupman:
I agree about chasm that has been created, but still don't think the labeling and name calling really helps the overall cause. That is, if the cause is the betterment of America, not one narrow visioned ideology.
I think so much of the Bush hating came from the war, and not so much from the deficit expansion. Forcing the Rep talking heads to support the war, and take the eye off the fiscal ball.
The hating of Obama, though only by a much smaller group than the Bush opposition, seems to be simply to hate. Again, the labeling, the birth certificate, the Muslim, and the teleprompter for God's sake, man. Resorting to all that to defame our elected President just kind of sucks overall.
Since we seem to be labeling ourselves, however. Fiscal conservative, highest tax bracket, social liberal. Keep the government out of my business and my private life!

Glad your ok with Obama not being an American Citizen. More evidence for Bigfoot and UFO's then Obama being a Natural Born Citizen.
I guess if you don't give a shit about the law then you can do things like circumvent bankruptcy law to pay off cronies and labor unions. Create Administrative "Czars" etc.

Who would you rather have? Palin?![]()
John McCain himself was born on a military base in Panama.:eek:
Quote from Pa(b)st Prime:
I'd 10x rather have Palin as President than Obama.
You idiots on the Left just don't get it. There is zero elasticity left for Big Government to survive and you root for the biggest Federal government we've ever seen. It'll fail and the repercussions for most of you will be dire.
