Politics!
« on: September 14, 2007, 05:11:55 AM »
Which party do you favor - Republicrats or Demopublicans? (Just trying to get the first post after Mike . . . )
Trump won in 2016. Democrats haven't been so offended since Republicans came along and freed their slaves.

BenW, I'm pretty much in the same boat.   Republican with Libertarian leanings one day, Libertarian w/ Republican leanings the other.

I abhor party politics.  Candidates should run on their platforms and nothing else.  (Yeah, that'll happen.)

People tell me I'm a libertarian, but the way I see it I'm also a Burke style conservative and a classical liberal too.

If Republicans were who I once thought they were and stood for what I once thought they stood for, I'd be a Republican.

Instead, I find the Libertarian Party to be much more in-line with what I believe the Republican Party used to be and still claims to be for the most part even today.

I was a member of the Republican Party, but I haven't renewed my membership for several years. When they start acting like Republicans again, I may reconsider.

Freedom is a heavy load, a great and strange burden for the spirit to undertake. It is not easy. It is not a gift given, but a choice made, and the choice may be a hard one. The road goes upward toward the light; but the laden traveller may never reach the end of it.  - Ursula Le Guin

I prefer whichever party believes in freedom and best acts in that way...
with a moderate amount of pragmatism mixed in.

You've summed up my feelings exactly Monkeyleg.

A good summation of what I think the Pubbies should be like. Pragmatic freedom.

I don't do parties.  I'm an equal opportunity basher.  I don't think there is a cup of warm spit (sic) differencebetween the two. 

I'm a Cynic-American when it comes to politics and politicians.

One of my favorite stickers from the 2004 elections said: I haven't decided who I'm not voting against.  That's where I'm afraid I'll be when the primaries end.  Ron Paul has some ideas I don't agree with, but he's still someone I could vote for.

Well, I'M with the People's Front of Judea.

Pfffffhhhhh. Judean People's Front. Wankers.
I wish the Ring had never come to me. I wish none of this had happened.

So do all who live to see such times. But that is not for them to decide. All we have to decide is what to do with the time that is given to us. There are other forces at work in this world, Frodo, besides the will of evil. Bilbo was meant to find the Ring. In which case, you also were meant to have it. And that is an encouraging thought
