A Liberal Supermajority

[Allan from Fallbrook]

Gandalf: Dude. Stop name calling; you’re better than that. Calling a guy a dick because you disagree with him is exactly the same sort of stuff you argued AGAINST on other threads and in other posts.

Yeah, you’re right about old line “real” Republicans bemoaning the fate of the GOP. I’m one of them. The McCain/Palin card appalls me, as does the clearly mercenary thinking behind it. We’ve lost our way, and of that there is no doubt. However, that doesn’t automatically make Obama the answer and for anyone to represent that he is the magic bullet in this equation shows the same lack of credulity that allows conservatives to swallow Sarah Palin as anything other than a divisive, ignorant heretic. And, yes, I did mean the word “heretic”.

Aecetia makes the excellent point that we need to watch out for Big Goverment, in whatever guise it approaches. Old Ronny Raygun was correct when he opined about the scariest thing you could hear was, “I’m from the government and I’m here to help”.

FDR did not lead us out of the wilderness of the Great Depression and there are arguments that his policies in many ways were as badly misguided as Hoover’s. Obama does not have the chops, either, but not out of any lack of ability. Rather, the twin dangers he represents are lack of experience and the evangelical belief that true leftists have in the transformative power of Big Government.

You cannot legislate good behavior and you cannot tax a country into prosperity.

One thing you can be sure of: No matter which side wins, the government is going to get bigger.

I like how faux conservatives always fall back on Reagan. Reagan didn’t shrink the government. He just grew government in the areas of defense and corporate welfare as opposed to social welfare. Chimpy Bush has taken Reagan’s ideas to the extreme with his $11 trillion bailout of the super-rich.

Many Americans now feel like they are no longer benefiting from corporate welfare so they are ready to try policies that will grow the social welfare side of government.

If the bailout was just for the rich why did so many Democrats sign on? I was opposed on the basis of it goes against free market basics. I think it must have had something in it for them or it would have not been passed by Congress. As unpopular as Bush is, mostly conservative Republicans and local guys like Filner, who supported his constituency, voted against it. I think it was a smart vote to be against this turkey. No good can come of this big a giveaway.

TheBreeze: “Faux” Republicans? What is a faux Republican, in your opinion?

And wouldn’t Clinton have been a “faux” Democrat?

I enjoy the polemical nature of your posts, this response should be interesting.
