People who are anti war are extremeists? That isn't even close to what he wrote. I cut and paste it... So it's exactly what he wrote. Bertie He didn't say that people who are anti-war are extremists. He said that people that hold a certain view are anti-war extremists. Huge difference. Has he no tongue? Bertie Unlike you, I actually have a life outside of Usenet. I have only your word for that, of course. We have been traveling the last few days. For me, posting on Usenet is a very low priority. M, kay. I did not say that all people who oppose the war are extremists. I said that some people who oppose the war are extremists. Some people who support the war are extremists. Personally, I favor peace and, as far as the war in Iraq goes, do not have a strong view either way. It will not be the deciding issue for me in the coming election. I am pro-business and, to be frank, the Republicans have been doing a poor job lately of protecting their title as the party of business. Ya think? You really have to consider how much it would take to alienate Alan Greenspan, but they managed it. Yep, I have an almost begrudging admiration for them for that. The party seems to have been taken over by tax-and-spend Republicans and populist social special interests which I find distracting. I have difficulty supporting a party that promotes scientific ignorance, for example. Good for you. And here I was thinking you were all on the back side of the bell curve. Well, ya's did vote for bush,. can you blame me? Yeah, I can as a matter of fact. My views should be well known by now. Too many people want to pigeonhole people such as me with the Religious Right, forgetting that the Religious Right historically has tried to exterminate Mormons and shows every sign of being willing to try it again. Mitt Romney might be a Mormon, but so is Harry Reid. Who is to say which one better represents our values? Wow, you not only read between the lines, you insert entire volumes between them. The trouble is, the Democrats are misreading the whole thing and reverting to form. They think that disaffection with the Republicans means an acceptance of traditional Democratic values: pro-labor, big government, high taxes, etc., plus the Democrats have their own lunatic fringe with its own special social interests. If they think they are going to pick up a lot of disaffected Republicans with an anti-business agenda while remaining soft on crime and foreign policy they are grossly mistaken. Plus, business people do not trust the rampant corruption in the Democratic party and the absolute refusal of the party to police its own people. One might support libertarianism, but the Libertarian party is anything but libertarian. Besides, the libertarians that remain among the Republicans are too often gold bugs who cannot admit that Ayn Rand might have been wrong about a few things -- gold, for example. So, I do not see anyone being particularly pro-business right now. Every candidate seems hung up either on the war in Iraq or on abortion or building a fence on the border, none of which is critical to financial growth. Every one of them has expressed trade protectionist views which range from disturbing to downright alarming. Whatever happened to "Free trade and free men!" which was the historical battle cry of the GOP? Who carries that banner today? You need a new guy. One who will truly represent your values and lead you on to a better and brighter republican future in the tradition of Ronald Reagan. Too bad foster Brooks is gone. Bertie |
