Holy Moley! Finally a crowd I can fit in with!
My voter's registration card says "No Party Affiliation" on the back.
I think that Bush fought the "War on Terror" way too loosely, and against the wrong guys.
I think that the Republicans that seem to be controlling the party are too concerned with doing whatever benefits their own interests, and justifying it by saying that they deserve to benefit by way of their faith. I'll never understand why it is that if their faith demands something of them, I should be compelled to obey the same commandment. My faith is my own, thanks.
Most Democrats I know feel that "guns are bad" and that no law-abiding person should need to own one. Therefore, anyone who wants to own something as evil as a handgun is already a criminal. In spirit, if not in deed. Many feel that if a person has no desire to get up and make his own way in the world, that the country owes it to them to feed them, clothe them, and take care of their poopy-pants children. And yes, I have noted that the vast majority of "welfare mothers" are white women. People should have to earn their welfare.
I dream of the day when half of the welfare moms have to work government-supported day-care centers, so the other half can go learn to be nurses... nurses are always in short supply. And the homeless guys standing around on street corners can get a check, too... they just have to sweep up that mile of road to earn it. Or they can be school janitors. Or ladies can be teachers aides... Whatever. If they're already getting paid, they should have to work in order to collect.
Libertarians are way too free about selling off things that should be protected... like our National Parks, and highways. Sure it would make our tax burden less, but I don't mind paying taxes if part of the money goes to keep parts of America free from the Enrons of the world. Imagine the tolls we'd have to pay to drive on the Sony Expressway... or the British Petroleum Parkway... Talk about taking it up the ol' Hershey Highway!
Greens have a lot of the right ideas, but a lot of the wrong ones, too. We didn't claw our way up to the top of the food chain to sit around wearing daisy necklaces, singing Kum-bay-ah... or however the heck you spell it. I like eating steers. And big, fat, dirty pigs, too. Don't tell me how smart a pig is... I still wanna eat 'im.
And stop effing with the hunters, walking around in the woods banging pots together. I don't hunt, but in my opinion, since hunters actually pay 100% of all the wildlife conservation costs going on, then dammit, let 'em benefit. Any tree hugger that wants to walk around in the woods during hunting season should be considered fair game. Well, maybe we should limit that to bow hunters...
