No, it's not. It is obvious if you look at the nutcases leading
your party.

I'm not having a party. But if it's the Republicans party you mean,
then yes, there are a few nutcases in there.

Yep. We've got Ron Paul. A few years ago, we had David Duke. It's not only a
big tent, the flaps on all the side are open.

The Democratic Party resembles the inmate population of a penetentiary;
you've got the Brothers, the Latinos, the White Supremists, and so on. The
only thing they have in common is the prison. Sometimes, they'll work
together - as in the case of a riot - but mostly the pursue their own
agendas.

The Republican camp is made up of four distinct groups: The social
conservatives, the economic conservatives, the small-government
conservatives, and the war-mongering neocons. The social conservatives
(prayer in school, anti-abortion, etc.) don't care too much about economic
issues, but are happy to cooperate with the econcomic conservatives. The
economic conservatives (free markets, less regulation, free trade, etc.)
don't care too much about social issues and willingly cooperate with the
socials. This alliance often works.

The Democrats consist, mainly, of groups that hate each other, but get
together to win elections. For example, the environmentalist oppose oil
exporation in Alaska while the unions heartily endorse it. The Democrat
groups often work at cross-purposes, but somehow manage to prevail about
half the time.

In a nutshell: Democrats tend to provide for the general welfare through the
treasury, Republicans tend to promote the general welfare through the
economy.

The Democrats think everybody should have a chance to do well. The
Republicans think the already well-off should keep all they have and get
more, regardless of merit, at the expense of the "unwashed masses."

Absolutely backwards. Democrats want you to be beholding to them,
rather than have a chance to make a real life for yourself.

That's what's "conservative" about it -- conserve the relative positions
of everybody -- keep the rich rich and the poor poor.

Only a loony leftist loser could come up with such nonsense.

Read posts from "heybub" (who is a not unusual full bore right wing I
don't care who dies as long as I get more money guy). He says that what
is his is his, don't touch it and the most important thing is to get
more no matter how it is done even it it involves being disingenuous by
having the government do it for you because they are taking someone
else's worth and transferring it to you.
