[quote=briansd1]TG’s platform is a populist platform, with cosmetic surgery and porn thrown in.
Tightening the shit out of the borders won’t work and will never happen. Economic growth depends on continual immigration and new household formation. That’s what America is all about.[/quote]
maybe I should have clarified, I am against illegal immigration, not immigration. I’m cool with the same amount of immigrants, but with pictures and fingerprints on the way in, not the way out, that’s all. Bring us your tired and weary, but can you sign the guestbook? And dont tell me we can organaize or coordinate that much data, we cant get our s%^t together when we want to.
Secondly, and most importantly, why is a populist agenda bad? Am I misinterpreting the word “populist.” Does it mean that it is popular? SO does that mean most people want it? How is it, that in the society that is most free, where markets and products and everything else shifts to the “populist” opinion, that politics cannot? Can’t either side figure out that certain elements of their platforms are not popular and modify them. Can I make an anaology, it’s as if there are only two vehicles available for sale, a prius or a suburban, nothing else. And neither company can figure out that neither of those vehicles will be be the best selling vehicle in the country if there was another choice. The camry, the accord, the F-150, even the taurus, I think ahve all had their turn as the top seller (forgive me if I’m wrong, I’m guessing). I understand that an argument can be made for each, but they are extremes, most of us want something in the middle somewhere. Maybe it’s a fairy tale that doesnt apply, but one is too hot, one is too cold and the third one is just right. Do I need to break into the home of the three bears to get one that’s just right? The first one to the middle wins, how is this so hard to see. In the immortal words or Judge Smails….”Well,….were waiting.”
