DBAHO Posted April 24, 2008 Share Posted April 24, 2008 She's not Bill. No seriously, I would much prefer the democrats to win the next election, after what has happened with Bush, and I just get worried that McCain could sort of be Bush v2.0. If that means Clinton beats Obama, and then wins the election, so be it I guess. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rex Kickass Posted April 24, 2008 Share Posted April 24, 2008 I am not a Hillary supporter at this time. But if something crazy happens and she wins the nomination, I will support her. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think she's just pointing out that if everyone that wanted to come in here and make a bad joke did so(and some of us are using more restraint than others BTW), that would kinda ruin the reason for this thread in the first place.

Thanks, far more eloquent than I could have put it. I don't bash other people's parties/candidates in their thread. I guess I view it as a respect issue (more for the other posters on the site than the actual candidates). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Steve9347 Posted April 24, 2008 Share Posted April 24, 2008 Alright good points. If Hillary beats Obama for the DEM nod I'll be forced to vote for her. There! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If that means Clinton beats Obama, and then wins the election, so be it I guess. the only similarity between McCain and Bush is that McCain thinks we should stay in Iraq...

Pretty much, McCain is a democrat, in my eyes. And he favors a tax cut larger and more directed at the top income levels than Bush, and plays the same "oh we'll just eliminate waste" game that Bush does with how to pay for them. And he favors similar health care plans, where people have to pick up more of the cost of their own health care but get a tax deduction. And he supports Privatizing social security. And he's pretty strongly anti-choice. And he favors vouchers in the public education system. And he believes states should be able to decide whether or not to teach intelligent design in their classrooms. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

McCain isn't a democrat, he's what republicans were before the religious nut job idiots took over the party.

Or...if they lose...the religious folks can claim that the reason they lost is that they nominated a candidate that wasn't big with their group and that was their biggest mistake.

lostfan Posted April 30, 2008 Share Posted April 30, 2008 McCain is also what Republicans were before they pissed away all of their credibility on fiscal restraint, which actually wasn't even that long ago. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

So, before the Bush tax cuts, they were calling for larger, even more bankrupting, and even more directed at the top 1% tax cuts than the ones Bush proposed? Actually, that's probably true.

Actually, that's probably true. Republicans have always been about low taxes which in and of itself isn't a bad thing and I would normally support, but they act like big defense spending isn't costing that much and the deficit isn't really that big of a deal, then while pushing budgets that would give most big government Democrats wet dreams, cut taxes as well. All the while pushing the idea of the magical tax fairy that's somehow going to revive the economy, all we have to do is cut taxes. I mean, let's just be honest - war is expensive, we don't have the revenues to cover it, we need tax. There's no way to hide it. I wish more people would stop taking all these tax promises at face value. That includes Obama and Hillary, they're just downplaying how much exactly we'd have to raise taxes by.

We really don't need more tax. What we need is less bureaucracy wasting away all of the revenue. This country really sucks my ass when it comes to fiscal responsibility. War might be expensive but its only about half of the problem. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
