Policy-wise, that sounds like the opposite of what the GOP needs. I mean, that's what they have already been pedaling, and what we saw from most of their primary field.

 

What they need is someone more moderate socially, and more conservative fiscally and intergovernmentally.

 

Now of course, as we saw this election, the discussion is not entirely about policy.

 

You are probably right, and realistically that is very close to the description of how I am politically. Maybe I'm just being negative since I never expect to see a candidate that represents my values.

This is kind of ridiculous thing to go over, but assuming Obama has a successful presidency there will be a glutton of Democrats to succeed him. I wouldn't be shocked to see Michelle Obama running for office at some point in her life after Barack's presidency.

 

The Republicans have a real problem with young, energetic people in thier party.

I believe you meant "glut".

 

Unless you were referring to a bunch of people wanting to eat Barack Obama.

I am that way too... socially liberal (or liberatarian, however you want to define it), fiscally conservative and generally in favor of smaller government and free market policies. But I'm usually more willing to compromise for the latter against the former... I will not vote for someone who, for example, openly supports things like Proposition 8, and I'm also turned off by hawkish rhetoric even though I'm not a pacifist. Which usually pushes me a lttle to the left. I'm sure the GOP is aware of all the voters like us, there are a few on this board even, but they can't do anything about it b/c the social conservatives have so much influence.

It will depend on what Obama does. If he spends like I think he will, being a fiscal conservative will be enough.

And so it begins......

 

Chicago: Arrests at Obama Victory Rally, Woman Yells "White [expletive], [expletive] McCain--you White Police Can't do Nothing Anymore"...Then Proceeds to Slap a White Cop. Much to her amazement, they can, and did, do something.

lol, that's hilarious. Normally I'd go on some rant about how she's making other people look bad but she deserves it. Hopefully they tasered her.

She made herself look bad for sure. I respect people's rights to protest and make asses of themselves, but in cases like this where they clearly cross the line, they need to be punished, and with more than just a slap on the wrist. It has to be somewhat severe to serve as a warning to them and others that there IS a line you can't cross. All those Code Pink protests we were subjected to the last 2 years? not one charge ever brought against them, for anything. There has to be something they can be charged with, even if it is just a misdemeanor. but they are always let go, facing no reprecusions, so they feel empowered to do it again, and again. protest all you want. but be prepared to pay the price if you break the law.

She's an idiot, got arrested as she should have, and hopefully will be prosecuted for ag batt.

 

But your "And so it begins..." line is ridiculous. What exactly are you saying is beginning? And who are you applying this to?

They get arrested repeatedly actually. It's called Civil Disobedience. For them arrests mean that it is working.

But they dont get charged with anything that sticks. Always release without bail or fines. Never a charge that sticks. Make them pay at least to cover all the expense of thier civil disobedience. There are fines and in some locals jail time for the crap they do, but it never gets imposed.

My brother is actually color-blind, he didn't know it until he was almost grown. When we were growing up I always just assumed he was f***ing stupid because he couldnt tell the difference between blue and purple.

 

I have the same problem. It sucks some times.

wait a minute....

 

is this the Republican thread? nevermind :lol:

 

I do have a solution to the GOP mess; evangelicals have been threatening to vote Democrat if all their demands are not met, so you guys (the Democrats) can have them. They cost more votes than they bring in now-a-days. And they can start destroying the Democrats from within like they did to the GOP
