I'll show you mine if you show me yours....

[One Brow]

Nah. You wrote you were "moderate, leaning left." I see that and think "blue dog Dem." That's not you.

See, when you say "blue dog Dem", my thought is "moderate to conservative Democrat, but less conseravtive that a Repupublican from that state ususally is". Which of the blue dog Dems actually leant left, as opposed to being democrats?

 

[moevillini]

I chose the option "Moderate, leaning left"

I am not registered to any party. I think I've voted for the Democratic candidate for US President almost exclusively. In the primary elections, where in Illinois you have to choose to take either the Republican ballot or the Democratic ballot, my choice generally depends on the specific races and where the more compelling choices are across the board. In general, at least at the state level, we've had better candidates on the Republican side.

(case in point, Rod Blagojevic)


Sometimes I feel my choices depend on who I'm angry at more than anything. I suppose that's not the best way to make a decision, but I try to be reasonable about it.

(yeah, I'm sure some of you are shaking your heads...)

I'm a registered Dem. For the most part I can't stand the republican agenda, and the fools that spew it as if it's THE only way to go.

Just curious, what do you think about the fools that spew the democratic agenda as if it's THE only way to go? That door swings both ways.

Good call, I should've been more clear.

I can't stand both sides. Hannity, Rush, Beck, Savage, Olberman, Colbert, Stewart, etc. I wouldn't piss on them to put out a fire. We have versions of them here, The Thriller, MillHopper, KOC BEGONE, etc. I am very interested in hearing both sides, as long as they're delivered in a non-dumbass sort of way. For example, The Pearl, Duck (sometimes), Tink, Franklin, and OneBrow are people that I will listen to what they have to say with an open mind. I probably won't chime in on any of their conversations (because I'm a moron), but I do ponder a lot of the crap they talk about.

Agreed.

Or because you're a smart salesman. Guys like you should get a special exemption to the one account rule. One for your regular activity and one for sensitive topics that might push business away.

This is highly disturbing.

Let me guess: Good is your way of thinking and Evil is against your way of thinking.

No. I'll admit I do get a little confused how people can debate things like what constitutes murder, theft, deception, and wanton criminality. Those are things that are extremely clear to me. Not much grey area there. But when our leaders are active participants in all of those areas, I don't expect everyone to be able to point out right and wrong because we are all taught that these people are good.

There is no Jewish conspiracy, there aren't Muslims in caves tossing around the nuclear football, and the people that campaign as Christians are more often than not anything but. There is a British-Anglo satanic empire(with a few very powerful Arabs, blacks, and Asians tossed in for good measure) however and they only fear one thing - Christianity.

Socially I am left. When its comes to government/economics I lean more towards the right.

 

[sirkickyass]

Only for a little contrast. I'm sure I'm somewhere to the right of you on the transfer payments issue.

Probably. I recognize the problems with transfer payments, I just don't think we're in the nightmare moral hazard scenarios that the right asserts. And frankly, I think they'll assert the extreme moral hazard for as long as New Deal-style programs exist.

I can't stand both sides. Hannity, Rush, Beck, Savage, Olberman, Colbert, Stewart, etc. I wouldn't piss on them to put out a fire.

Let's dissect this some. Do you really think Colbert and Stewart are the same thing as Hannity, Rush and Beck? Either in terms of the size of their megaphone (regular listeners/viewers), type of rhetoric, or ability to sink individuals in their party?

Or because you're a smart salesman. Guys like you should get a special exemption to the one account rule. One for your regular activity and one for sensitive topics that might push business away.

I would actually support said special exemption.

There is a British-Anglo satanic empire

What the hell does this mean? Google was no help.

Tell that to Bill Gross.
