I don't like republicans because in school they taught me they were evil.

My daddy was/is a Reagan/Helms Repugnican and he never loved me enough. Never touched me either, that's why I'm so jealous of my sister.

daddy issues are a bitch.

My favorite part is where the teachers tell the kids that G.W. Bush is equal to Adolf Hitler. For some reason, I just don't quite see the similarities.

Have I found anther open Democrat on this forum? Great, that makes two of us.

LOL yes and not ashamed of it. What I am ashamed of is the fact that I live in a country where most politicians, Republican and Democrat, are totally fucking worthless. I voted for Obama in '08, but frankly Ron Paul is looking really good this time around. He did last time, too, but I was feeling really spiteful after 8yrs of a Republican White House and voted Dem as a result.
*Not really settled on that yet, as he's pro-life and I'm very much not. Plus, he's still a Repugnican, but seemingly less histrionic than the rest of them. |
you forgot y8s.

*le sigh* I also think that the two party system is bullshit, and that if there were no label applied to each camp then things would be a lot less contentious. It would eliminate the ability to use fun, derogatory slang like Dumbocrat and Repugnican, and perhaps get more attention on issues. The whose system is broken, we all know that, and the louder each side screams about extremist issues the worse off we all are when it comes to everything else on the table. I'm not sure a Dem or Rep is the answer next time around for president, but nobody else gets any media time. And even some of them don't get a fair shake in the media (ie: Paul and Kucinich last time). Because they are not screaming about the ludicrous shit that everyone else is pushing. |
That was a much more balanced response than I expected based on the beginning of this thread and your previous post. Maybe there is hope after all. :)
It is hard to be non-partisan and I would argue it is harder every day as attention spans get shorter, information gets compacted in to sound bites and people get that information increasingly from commentary (sometimes disguised as reporting). Critical thinking and being open to legitimate challenges to your perspective are important. |
Try walking in my shoes. I'm a gay, black, atheist-jew-muslim. There is no party for me.

When I see an asshole with a "OBAMA" or "I'm a Democrat" sticker, I usually get as close as possible without hitting them. In the truck I'm pretty much trying to run them off the road. I do all of this in hopes that I can get the guy to stop and start a fistfight. Usually they're too obnoxious to even realize whats going on around them and they continue on their way. Probably to pick up some food stamps or unemployment checks. This way they can enter that "fattest girl in the world" competition they heard about on the news the night before.
I don't claim any political status at this point in time. I think the entire government structure needs to be torn down and built back up from our roots. Drop all the "add ons" we picked up along the way and lets get back to reality. The first candidate that comes out and tells me that's his plan will get my vote. Until then, I continue to work and better myself while I still have that freedom. At the rate this country is going, the next 50 years look like it'll just gradually get worse and worse unless something is done right now. Unfortunately everyone is too busy fighting the other guy to bother coming to reason. The amount of time/money/energy that we waste every year on politics is absurd. People should truly be ashamed of themselves, but alas, they're not. |
Y8s has an Obama sticker on his DD. I typically go over and hang out, and shoot the shit.
btw, your first and last paragraph are funny. |
