Zipp0 1 #1 May 18, 2006 Is it asking too much that we debate issues and suggest solutions without saying things like "Damn Libs" or "Nazi Cons"? I am guilty of it myself, but I got to thinking, maybe if we can stop paying so much attention to the political leanings of a speaker, and just concentrate on the issue, we could maybe find some common ground. I am often pigeon holed as a liberal, when actually I have views that correspond to libertarians, liberals, and conservatives. I am sure there are many right leaning folks who share some left of center, or at least more centered views, so we shouldn't put them in the same category as a hard right individual, correct Thoughts?

Zipp0 It's no problem. There's no difference between liberals, libertarians, or conservatives. it's either they're right or they're wrong, and since we're right, if they don't agree with us, they're wrong, and goddamn communists on top of it. and we don't need to listen to no commies. it's pretty simple, actually.This ad space for sale.

Michele 1 #17 May 19, 2006 QuoteIs it asking too much that we debate issues Yes... Actually, I do try to do that. Sometimes I get carried away, or a stalker pisses me off and I stray off topic, but mostly, I try to add either my opinion and/or some fact that someone may have overlooked. I try really hard to not play the player, but rather play the ball... Guess that makes me a hippie. My Dad would be proud!

Can't say I blame you for refusing to answer. - Perhaps the GNP / GDP was higher in that era, perhaps the 1993 tax increases on the rich were increased so the gov had higher tax receipts.... I've answered these all before, including reliable sites. You can keep your head in the sand and claim you don;t see the answers, but that doesn't make them go away.
