Top 10 reasons you vote democrat

Oo, I stand corrected. I had no idea you were a LONG time repub. In fact I don't remember any previous post from you but I don't generally pay a lot of attention to wingers. But hey bud, if you think Ron Paul is what Republicans are all about, go for it. No skin off my ass.
I feel as if we are lacking an understanding here. Ron Paul most definitely is your traditional type of Republican. You keep trying to apply him to todays GOP, which if you had ever watched the primary debates with him in them, you would see that he is not. You keep using he word winger as if you're somehow insulting me with it. Are you not also a winger for being so staunchly left wing? What exactly makes you better than the GOP supporters?
 
10. I’ll vote Democrat because I can’t wait for college football season to be delayed or cancelled because the student athletes are union employees.
9. I’ll vote Democrat because I believe oil company’s profits of 4% on a gallon of gas are obscene, but the government taxing the same gallon of gas at 15% isn’t.
8. I’ll vote Democrat because I believe the government will do a better job of spending the money I earn than I would.
7. I’ll vote Democrat because Freedom of Speech is fine as long as nobody is offended by it.
6. I’ll vote Democrat because I’m way too irresponsible to own a gun, and I know that my local police are all I need to protect me from murderers and thieves. I am also thankful that we have a 911 service that get police to your home in order to identify your body after a home invasion.
5. I’ll vote Democrat because I’m not concerned about millions of babies being aborted so long as we keep all death row inmates alive and comfy.
4. I’ll vote Democrat because I think illegal aliens have a right to free health care, education, and Social Security benefits, and we should take away the Social Security from those who paid into it.
3. I’ll vote Democrat because I believe that businesses should NOT be allowed to make profits for themselves. They need to break even and give the rest away to the government for redistribution as the Democrats see fit.
2. I’ll vote Democrat because I believe liberal judges need to rewrite the Constitution every few days to suit some fringe kooks who would never get their agendas past the voters.

And the Number One reason I’ll vote Democrat is:
1. I’ll vote Democrat because I think that it’s better to pay billions for oil to people who hate us, but not drill our own because it might upset some endangered beetle, gopher, fish or frog.


I can't think of 10 reasons to do anything much less to vote Democratic or Republican. However, I do have a few reason why I am a Democrat.....They would include:
> the federal government can effectively solve major issues such as health care accessibility and envirenmental protection..
> as originally defined, "Affirmative Action" allows the nation to make use of all of its citizens talents, regardless of race, creed or gender...
> because the federal government must resist the religious fringes in our nation by maintaining a separation of church and state and the right to choose in our personal lives....
> that balancing the budget on the backs of the young, the infirmed, the poor and the elderly is not morally correct or fiscally responsible...and
> since the days of FRD, the Democratic Party has been the party of the common man and the average American family.

I don't need any Dave Letterman "Top 10" list......sorry.

Traditional how? What Rs in power can you point to that had Paul like policy proposals? Not Reagan or Nixon or Eisenhower. Are you going to go back to Hoover to find a similar type R? If no R in your life has operated under Paul policy ideals, he can't be called a traditional representative.

Doesn't traditional mean classic or long established? I believe you are becoming a bit confused. How can I help you with this?

Define how Paul's views are represented in traditional R policy. When did that Paul policy take hold in the R platform and when did it go away. And if a tradition has been dead your entire life time and Paul's I'd really challenge your use of the word. Additionally if the tradition only existed for a brief moment in time, it hardly earns the term. I just don't think you can back up the claim that Paul is a traditional R. But I look forward to reading your reasoning.

Now Slieb, Capitalism is a very significant target of the Liberals. Is that not true?

No. It's a target of crazy people.

Now, unchecked and unregulated capitalism? Sure. But that's not what you're arguing, you're arguing that Liberals want to destroy capitalism and give money to Oligarchs. I think I'd make the argument that the other side is actually doing that...

Also this idea that liberals are doomed to not have success is such a dipshit line, that dipshits buy hook, line and sinker. It shows a complete lack of critical thinking.

Explain ACA then? Explain the Stimulus afterwards. Also explain the push for Cap and Trade.

You have a tendency to make simple things more complicated, but I shall agree to your terms sir.

Fiscal Responsibility
Push towards keeping Sovereignty
War only in voted upon circumstances
Civil rights for all, for as we know Republicans we're the first to push for these.
The Republican party was started as an ode towards Thomas Jeffersons Republican Party. Which Ron Paul shares many idealistic views with.
Support of private/solid business, solid/sound money.

Do you not see these as aligning with Ron Pauls views? Have you followed him and actually listened to him? Or have you simply went by what others have said about him?

When was the R party like this? I don't think this R party has ever existed. And so it certainly can't be called the traditional R party platform. Paul was an outlier, not a representative of some bygone norm. That's why I suggested you check out the libertarians who more closely resemble this list you gave us.

I'd have to think that you know when they existed like this. You do realize you're just arguing with yourself at this point. The Libertarian platform didn't include Ron Paul in recent times. Moot is a good word I can use to describe what you argue here.

It's not really an argument. It's me asking your questions you can't or won't answer. That's close to the actual R party platform. It's certainly the play the other Paul (Ryan) likes to go with. Maybe that's why you like that team? All style and no substance.
