Remember when Krusty announced at the secret rebublican meeting that he'd be running for congress?

Bob Dole: Bob Dole thinks Bob Dole should run! Actually Bob Dole just likes to hear Bob Dole talk about Bob Dole... Bob Dole!!!

I love the crazy Texan character. He always gets a laugh out of me.

"Yeeeeeee HAH! Score one for the bad guys!" And then he goes into his dance...

You're holding back Augie, tell us how you really feel!

National healthcare? You caught my interest about being a non-Christian conservative republican, but you sound more like a socialist, Augie. You should be voting for Kerry.

I'm not a fan of the Christian conservatives, but as a Capitalist, Bush is gedding my vote.

I must confess, the "He is destroying the environment and reversing 20-30 years of hard work by environmental groups" didn't sound like a republican comment either.

I'm one of those despised Christian conservatives, but I didn't register as a republican, rather as an independant. I didn't want party affiliation messing with my decision making processes.

I think we need you to define what you mean by socialism to see why you say you are not a socialist when you say you are not one.

According to the Socialist Party of the USA, you fit the bill pretty well.

They are for: HEALTH CARE
The Socialist Party stands for socialized medicine-- a health care system based on universal coverage, salaried doctors and health care workers, and revenues derived from a graduated income tax.

ENVIRONMENTAL JUSTICE
The Socialist Party recognizes that the mechanisms in capitalism that oppress and alienate humans are the same mechanisms that destroy the environment.

LESBIAN, GAY, BI-SEXUAL, AND TRANSGENDER
The Socialist Party recognizes the human and civil rights of all, without regard to sexual orientation.

We call for the repeal of all sodomy laws and anti-lesbian and gay restrictions, and the legalization of same-sex unions.

We are committed to confronting the heterosexism that provides the fertile ground for homophobic violence, and support all efforts toward fostering understanding and cooperation among persons and groups of differing sexual orientations.

For more information on the Socialist Party in the USA and their platform, which, from your writing, I suspect you would like, go to http://www.votesocialist.org/platform/

BTW...if you are so for freedom of speech, the First Amendment, upholding the constitution, et cetera, why would you send Elfie and I (and others here) to prison for being Christian and conservative?

I just re-read that post. I missed the fact that I should be thrown in prison. I guess the expletive name calling sort of overshadowed it...

But if liberal democrats are included with the Christian conservatives... gee, that's a lot of people from this board...

On the brighter side, maybe that would mean me and ER could be cell mates! I can see it now... me and ER debating into the night, making all the other cons yell at us for disturbing whatever it is they do in there...

Hi D'A,

I am NOT a Socialist!!!

What is wrong with national healthcare? Maybe you weren't stricken with a serious, chronic, catastrophic illness at the age of 22 (as I was). Maybe you are physically capable of working (as I am NOT), giving you an employer who can provide you with health insurance. Maybe the government isn't treating you worse than a f**king goddam animal (as it is doing to me). Do you think I enjoy being treated like a second-class citizen? I'm sick of this f**king shit!!!
Pres. Bush has to go!!! He's a f**king jackass and a f**king idiot!!!

Augie

I'll tell you what's wrong with National healthcare. If you were struck with a serious illness, I shouldn't have to pay for your cure. Disagree if you will, but if so, you are a socialist.

Do they only have 3 policies?

He clearly meant that they should go to jail for failing to uphold the constitution, not for their religion: "I think we shoud put Bush, Cheney, Christian conservatives, and liberal Democrats all in prison. They are all violating the constitution, and they are all assholes. "

There's a lot of Christians on this board. I don't know if you're one of them, but I don't understand how any Christian could agree with this statement.

A true Christian certainly believes in clothing the naked, ministering to the sick, feeding the hungry, etc. That is why, in addition to paying taxes at confiscatory rates, 60% of which are used for social programs in this country, good Christians give a lot of their income to charity.

If you think I'm making that up and want me to "put my money where my mouth is", ask me privately how much I donated last year and I'll get out my tax return, look it up, and tell you. I'm certainly not going to post it here here. In Ronald Reagan's case, he gave 10% of his income to charity.

But true Christians also believe in free agency. That while it is our duty to care for those around us, we shouldn't be forced to under threat of having our property seized and indeed being thrown in prison (the penalties for tax evasion).
