Title: John Kasich vs Jim Webb
Post by: OSR stands with Israel on April 17, 2017, 11:24:55 PM
Two old school Democrats and Republicans, who basically got shoved aside for being too "moderate" for their base.


I go with Kaisch obviously, Reagan Republican>Blue Dog Democrat

Kasich is a sick, self-serving, narcissistic reptile who has never worked with the other party in any meaningful way despite boasting about his bipartisan credentials.

Jim Webb served the country honorably in numerous roles, and is conservative where it counts - borders, language, culture.

Kasich is conservative where it counts, as  he supports and has a record of balancing the budget  , lowering taxes, and deregulating small businesses  . He also is national security  conservative without being a neo con .

Kasich = Reagan
Webb = A Non-Racist Dixiecrat



Kasich worked with Bill Clinton to balance the budget

Webb has been described as a reactionary by people far more conservative than Kasich. He's also a former Republican and Reagan appointee...

And Webb opposes tax cuts spending cuts and deregulation , which is the main plank of the Reagan revolution.  His voting record in the senate was liberal while Kasich record has always beeen conservative .

Here is Webb on the issues : http://www.ontheissues.org/Senate/James_Webb.htm (he got populist leaning liberal)

Here is kasich:  http://www.ontheissues.org/John_Kasich.htm (He got liberatarian leaning conservative)


Tell me Santander who would you prefer a old school democrat or a Reagan republican

And Elizabeth Warren was once a Republican.  Jim Webb had a genericly liberal voting record mixed in with some culturally conservative sayings and expressions ... which, to me, doesn't separate your politically from any other Democrat, because I don't care about that stuff.

Post by: All Along The Watchtower on April 18, 2017, 12:15:51 PM
Webb, as disgusting as he is (Not a Republican, normal).

Kasich is a consistently hard-line conservative (on most major issues, including "Culture War" issues e.g. abortion and LGBT rights) Republican with a nice :) Midwestern veneer. Just because he's not an opportunistic racial populist who built his political career around concern trolling about birth certificates and an alleged epidemic of violent Mexican criminals doesn't mean he's not a conservative. But obviously most Republican voters these days are only in it for the demagoguery, so he's an Establishment RINO cuck by definition.

Judging by his current username, I'd say he's much closer to a White Nationalist than any type of "classic conservative."

Agreed.
This is the worst election ever, just like 2004 2008 and 2012. Webb it is, I guess. I have no patience with moderate villains.

Not bad candidates.  Jim Webb might actually be ok on defense.  Kasich is very qualified.  I'd vote for Kasich and would look forward to the debates.

This. For as much as I was upset with him during the last election, I would choose him (cutting taxes) over Webb (raising taxes).
