New GOP Theology
by Woody

I have to hand it to the Republicans. In about 48 hours you folks have invented a whole theological system centered around Sarah Palin. It consists of the following points of dogma:

1. Any job that Sarah Palin had was more important than the job Barack Obama had at the same point in his career.

2. Whatever job Sarah Palin was in, she was a reformer with accomplishments. Whenever Obama was in a job, he accomplished nothing. (Shut up, I said NOTHING.)

3. Incidental biographical details about Sarah Palin are part of her qualifications for being President. Obama's are just part of his "celebrity".

4. Being a governor is foreign policy experience, but being a US senator isn't.

I especially like #4 because it flies in the face of both common sense and the US Constitution.

I called these items because they are simply true by the holy authority of the GOP, and are beyond rational argument. So I won't waste any more time trying...

I am an independent and am voting for John McCain. He is running for president not Sarah Palen. Besides capilism and individual rights is what this country was founded on. NOT collectivist or alterist ideals. Barack Obama wants wealth redistrubution, socialized medicing, socialized retirement, and socialized medicine. That is socialism.

Are you socialized Sundance?

You're trying to state that Democrats are not capitalists or for individual rights?

By the way it seems to be you're a Libertarian.

Obama has never sought, nor stated a wish to redistribute wealth along the lines of a communist. You are acting the fool.

I am a liberatarian, however, Obamas relationship with reverend Jerimiah Wright and his black liberation philosophy is scary. Unfortunitly the media is easy on him because it is politically correct to do so. The republicans and democrats both want a larger government then i would like, however, the democrats far for a larger government. Large governments undermind the free markets. The founding fathers were pro - free market.

What the hell is an "alterist"? Someone who likes to alter?

Look, if you don't understand the words your parents use around the dinner table, you should either ask or refrain from posting them online. Thank you.

The founding fathers were also slave owners and could never dream of the combustible engine, flying machines, the atom bomb or even the machine gun.

Its kind of telling that you find Black Liberation "scary" since one of its main tenants is that "Jesus says my mission is to eradicate poverty and to bring about freedom and liberation for the oppressed".

Once again, stop posting things you heard your parents say around the dinner table unless you know what they mean - or at least how to spell them...

Enough said.

Altruism.

Sundance, you aren't so good when it comes to critical thinking. I say this in response to your supposition that rebublicans are for smaller government compared to dems. Consider the expansion of government and deficits under Bush and the surplus under Clinton.

You look idiotic, Sundance--you should consider giving R. Redford his name back.

NPR

Where else do you get your news CNN : Communist News Network.

You are clearly a socialist. Probably a mastercard marxist that gets his/her money from their parents who made it the free markets.

Move to Russia for a year than give me some rational feedback.

I'm sorry to tell you but Obama can't bring in socialized retirement because we already have it for about 70 years, since FDR. It's known as Social Security.

I'm also sorry to tell you that Obama can't bring in socialized medicine because we already have it since Johnson in the sixties, it's known as Medicare. Also add Bush with his drug program just a few years ago. You can also add in socialized medicine in the Veterans Administration and also in the US Congress. Check it out.

By the way what is socialized medicing?

Come on guys, you should recognize your average, run of the mill trolling here.

It's so obvious.

Answering trolls is just shadowboxing.
