"Didja' hear about the airline mix-up that somehow booked Hillary Clinton, Barack Obama, and John McCain on the same plane? Barack looked at Hillary, chuckled and said, "You know, I could throw a $1,000 bill out of the window right now and make somebody very happy." Hillary shrugged her shoulders and replied, "I could throw ten $100 bills out of the window and make ten people very happy." John added, 'That being the case, I could throw one hundred $10 bills out the window and make a hundred people very happy.' The pilot rolled his eyes and said to his copilot, "Such big shots back there. I could throw all of them out of the window and make 156 million people very happy. "

There is virtually no difference between the vast majority of McCain's positions on policy and those of the Democratic party, though, so yeah... the country is screwed if McCain wins the Republican convention.

lol the country wont be screwed..see thats what you neocons dont want people to see. how much better it will be on the middle class without neocons running things. its going to be horrible, just like the 8 yrs of peace and prosperity before bush ruined things.

Cubie just wants his handouts because he is afraid he can't support himself. Can't say I blame libs for asking. Just for taking what's mine and giving it away to bums.

that is fucking ridiculous a democrat reformed welfare
and the state of welfare is NO WHERE near what it was before the reforms
most of "what's yours" is getting put into munitions and dropped or shot into iraq. a far more disgusting use than feeding some poor person.
lastly every poor person isnt "lazy" or a "bum" all you neocons are the same conservatives are a plague upon humanity. you have muslim conservatives reeking havoc in the middle east and american conservatives over here ready to tear down our freedoms.

I'm perpetually surprised that there would be conservative Republican shroomerites. Your party condemns you for certain activities you take part in and really doesn't seem to represent your interests. Cubie already articulated this very convincingly.

You're kidding yourself if you think the Republican party stands for smaller government. In the past few years the federal bureaucracy has ballooned to obscene proportions under their watch with certain Orwellian agencies such as Homeland Security that really serve no purpose. Let's not even get into their total failure to be fiscally conservative. If you believe in small government, the Republican party has long abandoned you. Try the Libertarians.

I believe this is only true if you ignore state taxes and remove social security and medicaid expenditures.
---
and as for the drug laws, what's the difference between dems and rep's on these issues? Again, conservatism isn't the same as the republican party, and I don't know of any issue where the dems are clearly more favorable then republicans except for marijuana.
Drug laws aren't a focus of either party, and the difference is negligible. Most/all of the conservatives here are for legalizing drugs.

You must not know how much money is wasted in military, war on drugs and ideas, the police, Dea, FBI, CIA, and the pentagon I'm not saying we don't need the CIA and what not. But they excessivly spend. Like 50,000 for a box of hammers 20,000 for some tooth brushes.... Holy shit... Space wars and black budget programs could not spend 1 % and feed all of the needy in cali.

what are you talking about? How does it follow that I don't know about xyz cuz I correctly state that the prior statement isn't correct?
And what does my correction (which I believe to be accurate) have to do w/ my opinion on the aforementioned agencies/dept's?
your refrence to the hammer/toilet seat buisness betrays your ignorance
edit: I shouldn't have said ignorance, comes off different then I meant it- you apparently aren't aware of the story behind the toilet seat/ hammer quips popular amongst the public/news
but yeah, those hammer stories and such aren't what you apparently think they are. The hammer story was just the result of an accounting system where r/d and other costs were attributed evenly to various components of a project, or something similar... the hammer wasn't an unreasonable price

This made no since. I never said anything about your 'opinion' of any agencies? . Its obvious there is enough money wasted in such agencies and ect. To feed millions of people. Do some research and stop posting out your ass.

what's you point?
you'resaying generic things like "we waste money" and "we could feed millions of people" ok... so what is the source of this waste, and what do you want to do about it?
and how am I talking out of my ass... I don't really get what you're saying

again, what is wasted, and how does it follow that I don't know about the waste, just cuz I said most of the taxpayer's money isn't being spent on the military?

Obviously, or else they'd want to lock themselves up and that would be a whole new level of crazy.
I can totally understand conservative shroomerites but for the life of me I can't understand why anyone is still Republican in this day and age. That party doesn't even remotely adhere to conservative values anymore and have long ago jumped off the deep end. Understand, I'm not saying the Dems are fantastic either. Can anyone who is a Republican give some perspective?
