Games are games, so who gives a sh1t. In the real world it's called Democracy, but it's the Republic-ans that make it the best.

Please don;t leave me out of the the Right catagory. McCain rocks. So does anyone who puts an R after their name.

The Republican Party is a big tent that is tolerant of differing opinions. So I fail to see the point of this thread.

You know, I really don't think ML was being totally out of line in this thread. Imran is a good guy, and I have helped him out with people on this forum before, and if he were being attacked I certainy would not support that. But I don't see him being attacked. Malevolent Light hasn't attacked anyone , except for Slowwhand who gave his rather fierce comment first.

Malevolent Light asked about Imran's policy positions, specifically what made him feel he was a Republican. He asked Imran about his beliefs, and I didn't really see him as insulting Imran in the process of doing so. Imran can choose either to explain or not to explain why he considers himself a Republican.

That doesn't equate to a purity inquisition, nor I do see a need for the mob to swarm him.

Dino's got the right idea. While in Europe, the various constituencies each have their own party and Parliments are made of up coalitions, in the U.S., there are only two major parties. To rule, the majority party must put together a coalition internally.

FDR did that brilliantly at the beginning of the Depression, putting together urban liberals, southern Dixiecrats, unions workers, etc. Reagan did it in the early 80's, stripping off the blue collar workers from the Democratic party and adding them to the Wall Street businessmen and the Christian Coalition.

I'm a fairly liberal Democrat, and I've clashed with Imran enough to know that he is the opposite of me on most issues...especially economic ones. He's a Republican.

Being fiscally conservative and socially liberal is called being a libertarian. And I question how conservative he is fiscally since he thinks Kerry won't spend as much as Bush. I also question where he gets his information from since he hasn't heard how kerry plans to pay for his enormous budget. Also I have always wondered how it is possible to be fiscally conservative and socially liberal when the two are constantly in conflict with each other. You are for less taxes and less spending, yet you are for social programs? How does that one work. The libertarian is but one step removed from the Democrats and it's not a very big step. Hardly worthy of being called a Republican.

If he thinks Kerry will be more fiscally conservative than Bush, and votes for Kerry, doesn't it follow that he is, at least in his mind, voting for the more fiscally conservative candidate? And wouldn't that mean that he's probably a fiscal conservative?

Gee, I hate to go and spoil the fun and post in this thread .

I'm a Republican because I believe that the private sector is usually (but not always) superior to govenment spending. I believe that free trade and capitalism are good things, and I consider corporations to be forces for good, not evil.

Bush is a leftist in rightist clothing. All he wants to do is spend, spend, spend, spend and in doing so he doesn't consider how he can use the market and government to achieve his aims rather than simply throwing government money at the problem. That, and I think that Republicans believe in diplomacy... at least Bush's father did.

And yes, ML, you are a disgrace to The Reagan! "Those who agree with us 80% of the time are not our enemies"
