They also have aligned themselves with the special interest groups that I consider to be most odious (organized labor, Jesse Jackson and his bunch of racist shake-down artists, etc.). They also have a long history of taxing achievers and using the confiscated funds to buy votes from some of the worst special interest groups. Confiscating my money and using it to buy votes against my interests seems a bit unfair but that's the history of this party's leadership. Their leaders (example: Barbara Boxer, Barney Frank, John Kerry, Hillary Clinton, etc.) generally make me ill when I hear them speak. \r\n\r\nI can't support the Republicans when it comes to religion, abortion, and most other social issues. I strongly support the Republicans on most economic issues (privatization of Social Security, reigning in organized labor, free trade, lower taxes especially for those who pay taxes, reduced government social services (people should take care of themselves and not spend their lives on the government dole), and support for free and relatively unregulated markets. I'm very big on Capitalism because it's responsible for getting our civilization and standard of living to this point. I also support the Republicans on defense and environmental issues. Afghanistan and Iraq have been very good moves and conditions in both countries will continue to improve. Drilling in places like ANWR and offshore Santa Barbara is a no brainer. We need to reign in the enviromental nut cases. \r\n\r\nI'm an admirer of President GW Bush because his is a man of vision who actually gets things done (as opposed to his do nothing blowhard predecessor). I like the fact that he doesn't misrepresent himself in international dealings (example: not sucking up to the terrorist Yasser Arafat as did Clinton).\r\n\r\nThose are the basics Rolph.","author":"BA","parent_id":124304,"mime_type":"text\/plain","created":"2005-03-31 16:00:01","modified":"2005-03-31 16:00:01","fileurl":""},{"id":124441,"heading":"gets things done","article":"Managed to let 3000 people get killed in one day.\r\nThen allowed the people who flubbed their jobs to get promoted.\r\nIf you are being kind.\r\nBut he, like you, is just another tool.\r\n","author":"No kidding","parent_id":124304,"mime_type":"text\/plain","created":"2005-03-31 16:48:13","modified":"2005-03-31 16:48:13","fileurl":""},{"id":124442,"heading":"OneEyedMan","article":"filcher: &quot;I  would describe myself as an independent thinker not aligned with any political party.&quot;\r\n\r\n\r\n...would like to....but can't!\r\n\r\n","author":"KPC","parent_id":124304,"mime_type":"text\/plain","created":"2005-03-31 16:49:32","modified":"2005-03-31 16:49:32","fileurl":""},{"id":124449,"heading":"gets things done","article":"Rides the economy into the gutter, runs the dollar into the gutter, runs the military into the gutter, runs our standing in the view of the world into the gutter...","author":"No Kidding","parent_id":124304,"mime_type":"text\/plain","created":"2005-04-01 02:19:47","modified":"2005-04-01 02:19:47","fileurl":""}]}
