Your bad memory (or your penchant for telling outright lies) is showing
here.

When did I ever claim to be a Republican at all, much less "lifelong?" I
am a
conservative... an old fashioned ie *real* conservative. I have
occasionally
voted Republican though.

Oh no. Now you've gone and done it. You've pointed out that there are
conservatives who are not necessarily Republicans. You'd better offer NOYB a
chair and smelling salts.

NOBBY is either a knee-jerk fascist, or a far left winger pretending to be one
(is anybody that good an actor?). Not surprising either way, his knowledge has
some serious gaps.

In the rural South that I grew up in, there were no Republicans. Yet it was a
very conservative and old fashioned environment. When I got a little older, and
the South switched almost overnight, it was because of the Republicans flaunting
an inhuman level of bigotry and racism... a policy that Bush is adept with...
and which accounts for most of the blue collar Republicans out there IMHO. The
Democratic Party disavowed attitudes like Lester Maddox's while the Republicans
embraced them.

I hope this answers the question "Why would anybody that isn't a millionaire
vote for G.W. Bush?"

So bigotry and racism are the issues that separate the blue collar
Republicans from the blue collar Democrats? You're a piece of work.

If you take away the "race card", Democrats would lose 1/3 of their talking
points. If you take away "class warfare", they'd lose another 1/3. The
remaining 1/3 would be gone if the abortion issue didn't exist.

Don't they have any other issues to run on? I mean, seriously, think about
the issues they run on:

increased taxes for the rich
affirmative action for minorities
full marriage rights for gays
abortion on demand
filibuster judges who might overrule Roe v. Wade


Anything I left out? If so, I bet you there's a race/sex/class warfare card
played on it.

Some of us also focus on a subject that's alien to you: The environment.
Your president is receiving failing grades in that area, except from a few
industries who've received blowjobs from curious George.

Doug Kanter's "improved" list:

increased taxes for the rich
affirmative action for minorities
full marriage rights for gays
abortion on demand
filibuster judges who might overrule Roe v. Wade
*the environment*

That's a helluva platform to run on!

Gay people have absolutely no effect on you, no matter who they marry.

Frankly, I'm not sure about affirmative action. But, people who know these
things point out that there's a cycle for poor people that's hard to break.
Go also seem to be an expert, however, so I'm interested in your thoughts on
this subject that nobody else can seem to figure out.

It's not about "being an expert". It's about applying commonsense. The
color of your skin shouldn't give you extra points in the admission process
when you're applying to a College...especially if that college is
taxpayer-funded.

As far as gay marriage, that has absolutely no effect on you, and the fact
of the matter is that you really don't care about it. Leave it out of future
messages. It's just clutter.

Judges: It's important to have people on the bench who are not only aware of
the separation of church & state, but HONOR the principal.

Abortion on demand: It's nowhere near as big a problem as you imagine it to
be.
