A “new” user, respire, gave gottfried a warning about me. Too early for a “new” user to know
how I debate… He told gottfried not to have anything to do with me because I am…get
this…quick-witted.... Read more... |

Some people call that pride. |

Perhaps it is merely that weak people see the need to associate their views with a particular
political party, to begin with. No one owns my political views. |

If they were willing to discuss their weaknesses, would there be any weakness left at the end of the
day? You cannot discuss a weakness if you see it as a strength. |

I'm independent, so it's actually true that people are unable to discuss the weakness in my
political party. |

I wouldn't say it is the weaknesses in the parties but of the weaknesses in the ideologies that they
choose to follow. For example liberalism runs the risk of becoming socialist or even communist. Or
too liberal, such as letting immigration run out of control because you want to be fair to everyone.
While conservatism always runs the risk of being downright psychotic and fanatical, such as killing
an abortion doctor or a nail bomber blowing up a gay bar, etc I could go on. People do not see the
weaknesses of the ideologies and the extremes that they can go to. It is only a small point but I'll
go on this side. |

If there was a party in existence that actually represented my views, you might have a point, but
there isn't. I've been a registered Republican for about 25 years or so and they don't represent me
at all. They're better than the Democrats in most things, certainly better than any of the third
parties, but I still disagree with about 75% of everything they have to say.
I'd kill to actually have a party that represented what I consider to be important views in the
political arena. |

Too liberal is to naive, to conservative is borderline Nazi.
We need the two, to hopefully find a balance. |

Well, I only just got into politics recently, so cut me a break. But I will say that conservatives
seem to be very close-minded. I listen to talk radio a lot, and every time a liberal gets on the
phone they slam them down almost immediately. Anyone who's listened to Mark Levin can tell you
that. And Rush Limbaugh seems pretty conceited. |

I will say I associate with Christians for the sake of argument. I gotta defend peeps, ya know?
But I will remain in politics. Republican's vs Democrats... Not much between them. Republicans are
trying to be more like Dems... They are well compromised.
Discussing weakness where I put my beliefs though is an interesting thing to ask. I would love to
get into that. |

Well once I was a democrat until I realized that no one had any intentions to try and solve any
problems. It was all about setting up a perpetual milking machine to ‘treat’ but never cure
everything from poverty to racial issues to workers rights etcetera... Sort of like pharmacy
companies and pimples there is simply much more money it treating something forever and ever than
there could ever be in curing something. |

Well, I for one don't have party at this time. I will tell you why I am no longer a Republican
though.
They are spineless. They let the Dem's play them like a fiddle. Every time a Dem makes an
accusation, the Repub's drop everything and go on a 'not me!' offensive instead of just sticking to
their guns. So much legislation that needed to be passed was not because the Repub's hated to be
called 'mean'. So much legislation WAS passed in order to appear 'compassionate', need,
Constituitonality or budget be damned.
Lastly, in order to try and appeal to the middle, they governed from the middle. Either party will
infuriate their base if they do that and the base it what gets you elected. They are your
workhorses.
Now, your turn..... |
