Why don't you have an avatar jravnsbo?

Okay.  But I expect it to be there soon!

and if i went without one, what would it matter.

Can't I enter the arena of political ideas without being affiliated with a party?

But you're a republican, everybody knows that.

Well I am a conservative first.  I like and would vote for some democrats, but they are adying breed int eh Democarat party, such as Zell Miller, and John Breuax

and if i went without one, what would it matter.

Would you vote for Lieberman?

[© tweed]

I would consider it vs another Republican.  But I am a big fan of our President as he is doing a great job!


  No way in 2000, b/c Gore was there though.  But i did think Lieberman in 2000 was a smart VP pick.

Gore really didn't have much of a choice with his VP nod, there was nobody out there.

He had Edwards and Gephardt on his short list, or maybe go for Jean Shaheen in NH for woman effect also.

Lieberman helped make Florida close with Jewish vote.

Edwards was the only other option he was considering at the very end.

I am probably a little bit ignorant of your system, but what is the difference between conervative and republican? Jvravnsbo seems to be saying, correct if I'm wrong, that he is not that republican, since he could vote for a democrat who thought like a republican. How would that be better?

There are other conservative parties such as the constitution Party.  But a bast majority of conservatives are Republicans.

Plus there are a lot more conservative Democrats than Liberal Republicans.

Most of the South and a lot of the western Democrats are conservative and have real issues with their national parties positions.

GOOD ANSWER

Nice analysis, jravnsbo.

he MAY HAVE BEEN a moderate but he is defintely taking very liberal positions now.

He is talking liberal to get the nomination.

[© tweed]

true but some of these positions are so out there, there isn't much pivot room.

Plus this isn't the 1920's where you could tell the party people one thing and the rest of the public something new.  Int he media age all he has said is recorded and able to be played again and again.

he MAY HAVE BEEN a moderate but he is defintely taking very liberal positions now.

What are the positions that he is "so out there" on??

[© tweed]

He is, and I don't have a problem with it.

My father was a draft dodger, as were most of his friends.  the war was wrong, and the draft was even more wrong.

That's sad.

That really is sad.

If the people don't want to fight it it isn't worth fighting for.

The good thing about Vietnam is that it taught us that a country should not try to finesse a war. Either go full bore, or not at all.

Is that why you liked Goldwater?  LOL..

The majority of the colonists did not want to fight the revolution.

Where is the poll that you took your numbers from?

O'Conner--well mixed reviews with her.  One of 4 I've never met personally.  But she is a bit flip floppy on some issues.  Very good on states rights though.

She is for Roe v. Wade right?

What happened here?

[© tweed]

I don't know why.

gustaf started it!

Another cheap shot to a dem from an AFRNC activist.

This is fun!  WEeeeeeeeeeee

Once it changed pages, it was alright.  so here we are now.

Bradley was a strange bird.  He refused to wear makeup, I heard.  The reflection on his forehead from the lights at the debates made him look like a human lighthouse.  I liked him, but he was another boring Democrat.

Then go live somewhere else.

Harkin is VERY liberal, but Vilsack could be considered a conservative.

If's somebody's in the center it seems as if they're a liberal.  Sad, really.
