That's YOU.


I'll make you a deal. I'll admit to being a "progressive" when you admit to
being a Republican.

Two different things. You are mixing political philosophy with
political party. Now, he would either need to admit that he is
conservative or you would have to admit that you are a Democrat. I'll
leave to you two to work out the details under this structure. (g).

I'll wager he will gladly admit to being conservative, so that won't work!

So, you want to ignore convention and make up your own criteria just
so you don't have to admit you are Progressive. Interesting.

I already admitted to being registered "Independent".
How about you? what are you registered as?
do you admit to anything?

And yes,I AM a conservative,although in some NGs,I've been accused of being
a liberal,because of some viewpoints of mine.(abortion)

I wasn't aware there was an existing protocol used in this type of situation. I
need to know the rules if I'm gonna play.

I live in Texas. Here anyone can vote in either Primary, but not
both. If someone votes in the Primary, that is their party for 1
year.

There is no such thing as a "registered Independent" here, but that's
what I claim.

so,you skip both Primaries?

Yeah, I love abortion too.



I don't "love" it,I regard it as a woman's own private medical business.
Certainly not the government's.

I'm ambivalent on that.
One one hand,it's fine with me,but I'm concerned about DUI-type of
misuse,or that it might lead to other drugs.
I suppose I'd go for decriminalization.
I don't touch the stuff myself.

I'd be more worried about whatever additives were sprayed on the pot to
"enhance" the effects.
That's a major problem with illegal drugs of any kind;you never know for
certain exactly what you're getting.
Have you seen the news reports about "legal pot",or "artificial MJ"?

Once upon a time, some great worthy asked what would happen if the total
wealth of the U.S. was equally divided.

The answer deemed most likely is that within a short time - say a month -
the original wealth distribution would be back.

Did anyone here suggest that the nation's wealth be equally divided? No?
Then what is your point (other than introducing the red herring of socialist
redistribution)?

Perhaps we should not bother putting bank robbers in prison because even if
we locked up every last one of them, within a short time--say a month--there
would be more of them anyway.

How is your very own Tom Holmes, or Nick Griffin? That you have racist
political parties than can actually win seats at various levels of
government tends to get your country a bad name over here, you ought to do
something about that. Oh, so long as they're not breaking the law they're
allowed to speak and run for office and stuff like that? Huh, imagine that,
pretty much the same over here.

Some of my retirement may have been, but I doubt it. It's a defined benefit
plan so I wouldn't know or really care what it's in. None of any of the money
have any control over was, even that in corporate bond funds.

I'll likely buy another Ford truck. SWMBO has already decided on a Mustang

Johnny Carson said they found the shoes there...


Jimmy Hoffa isn't dead, contrary to popular belief. In your mind's
