Are You Republican Or Democrat

[doodoohead]

So I was interested in seen what we have the most on this board: REPUBLICANS OR DEMOCRATS? I am a democrat.

[[Labret]]

Tell me, what is the difference between a democrat and a republican?

[Fletch XXX]

is that all the choices?

[archer]

i'm a tory....

there's more parties than democrats and republicans!

[Fire]

Republican

[doodoohead]

Well the simplest definition that I can think of is that a Republican is one who follows the interest of the wealthy while the Democrat follows the interest of the working person.

[ChrisH]

Not enough categories there man.

Independent

[doodoohead]

So post your choice of party?????

[KingK7]

That's a thing I can't quite figure out about the USA, why do you only have 2 parties? Weird...
I guess there are more, but there are only 2 "real" ones.

[doodoohead]

See what I cant understand is that in the state of Florida there are more Democrats than Republicans...so my question is how the hell can BUSH win as Governer if there are more of us then Republicans???

Are Democrats fat and lazy and dont want to go to the polls??
Are they stupid and think that it will not count?

Someone please throw me a bone?

True. But you left out the most important ingredient. You better be a fucking Christian.

while the Democrat follows the interest of the working person.

That would be the socialists and the communists.

Me? I am a fan of good old fashioned facism. Hell, I would even accept a theocracy if it was done well.

[doodoohead]

Yea well I have been here all my life and I cant remember an independant winning or somone who is not a Republican nor a democrat.

Actually I lived in CUBA for a while (Communist, during my younger years) and the stories I was told by my parents and grandparents of that place are horrible....so communism is definately out for me.

so wrong

[KingK7]

Communism is the devil.

What I cant figure out though, is why the USA trades with China and North Korea, but has an embargo on Cuba.
Now, just how stupid is that?

Because a vote against Bush means you are with Al Queda.

You are either against us or with us you pinko fuckers.

No not that Bush... the younger BUSH>>>> the one fucking up Florida.....

Governer JEB Bush... what the hell kind of name is that...sounds like he should be in a trailer park somewhere drinking beer.

BTW, I am not with alquida....kill them alll thats what I say.

[ColKurtz]

Conservative. I firmly believe that liberal politics just dont work.


The vast majority of people in this country are basically moderate with a slight lean to the right. But democrats have a stranglehold on minorities, gays, feminists, treehuggers, pinkos, so that evens it out.

[Fletch XXX]

hahaha

[Sly_RJ]

The hell is a pinko?

Republican.

and the athiests ;)))



I'm a registered Libertarian, but man, our party is in some shit lately....hehhehe

but I tend to side more often with the Dems as that whole Christian thing turns me off the Repubs....I'm also a believer of gay rights and while I think social programs can harm more than hurt, a country has to find some way to help their less fortunate....but I won't get off on that kick ;)))

[Joe Sixpack]

Kill every single fucking one of the dirty, filthy christian SCUM!

Then start on the Jews and Muslims. But kill the christians first.

i hate the idea of parties. why can't candidates find support on their own? i've done some thinking, and i'm going to run for office in my city in 2004. i'm going to be honest, no mud slinging.

[Kris]

has anyone seen "journey with george" ?? just watched it, interesting

while most hate the idea of parties, they are necessary...if you want to get something done, it's better to have an organized effort to do so....if you have 25 idiots running around just doing whatevere, you'd have a much bigger fuckup than 2 or 3 idiots...much easier to keep an eye on 2 or 3 idiots, harder with 25........

It won't work. You'll lose. Parties basically ensure a fuckload of votes. Why would anyone, who was serious about taking office, not run with a party? It's suicide.

You do what you have to do to get what you want. The majority of public officials aren't really Democrats or Republicans, they sit in a happy medium. Broad issues, like abortion and gun control, are some of the few issues that separate the parties.

People join parties to make friends. You need friends to vote for you. You need friends to help you win your battles. Log rolling, baby.

Yes, and Yes. I'm a First Generation American who lived under Socialist and Facist rule. And I'm Republican, but not a Christian by any common definiton. I chose Republican because they don't just talk and talk about helping the poor like the Democrats do. At least they act.

I don't mind the party system although it could be a little more fair to the smaller two.

What really kills me is the BLIND ideology that they align themselves with.

[VegasJim]

I'm new to the board, but thought I'd add my opinion on this one. I'm a member of a relatively new party called the Labor Party. Unlike Democrats who tend to lean to the far left, the Labor Party defends working people while not supporting gun control and other leftist ideologies.

If you guys want to check them out they're located at http://www.thelaborparty.org.

If it's a sign of homosexuality to show sincere appreciation for intelligent and/or funny posts, I guess I'm guilty

Some are left leaning [Kennedy, Wellstone, Feingold, etc]. I don't know if its "far" left Rosa Luxemburg/Leon Trotsky style.

[vasten]

I'm from Canada, I'm up shit creek without a paddle...

We're so far to the goddamn left here, all you american guys look like republicans to me LOL.

I think it's safe to say that you can scratch Wellstone off that list now....

Republican.

communism = red - ie "reds under the bed"

so someone "half" commie - ie it seems anyone who professes in the slightest that social programs are needed and beneficial is "pink" or a "pinko" like most in canada or australia (despite plenty of evidence to the contrary)

lol.. our labor party would seem like communists compared to the democrats.. and they're centre-right... at least in NSW and federally excepting the union issue.

[Joe Sixpack]

unionism is less of a leftist ideology then gun control?

It seems Americans have a very skewed view of what "left wing" means. But then what do you expect from a country that has an historical hatred for anything vaguely left-of-centre. The parallels between the universal American hatred of "Communists" from 1945-1989 and the current hatred for "Muslims" is quite eery. It seems quite easy to brainwash the populace.

a dislike of "muslims" is a natural reaction to recent events... things aren't much different here don't forget. we had those guys breaking into mosques... if only people would break into churches when they ass-raped kids and killed abortion doctors too.

[bhutocracy]

the McCarthy era was disgusting.
