Something truly needing to be said....

[Venge]

I wish there were more people willing to admit that Republican leadership in America is vastly more professional, competent and moral than liberal leadership. I can't understand people who jump onto the socialist/liberal bandwagon (which consists mostly of silver-spooned college kids trying to re-create the sixties) at the expense of America's heritage and pride. American Democrats are only a conglomoration of various so-called "minorities," each ruthlessly pushing their own agenda despite the negeative consequences. People like Bush, Powell and Ashcroft truly put the "service" back into public service, and they each uphold the highest ethical standards. Clinton seems so small in comparison, and Gore smaller still. And as a side note: illiteracy, poverty and poor taste run rampant among people claiming to be democrats. Studies have proven this.

studies? please...i'm quite literate thank you, i think the sixties, while turning out some interesting culture, were crap (i much prefer the beat generation), my sense of ethics is in a lot better shape than most people's, and i have no agenda. and i actually respect powell. i don't like clinton or gore, but i can't stand bush. hmm..maybe that's why i registered independent......gee, it looks like someone doesn't know exactly what the hell he's talking about...

It's A-okay to be 18, at least, he still has a chance for redemption. Let him think he has the world summed up into complete and simple packages, he'll learn. Venge, only one e in negative, but you knew that since you're a republican, right?

Poor taste? You're just trying to be funny?

This Christmas I received a T-shirt from my wife. It reads:

"Breathe poisoned air, Eat tainted meat, Drink nasty water, Help Only Yourself: Vote Republican"

The reason that the shirt is so damn funny is because there is so much truth to the slogan. I was reading an article about how the Republicans couldn't win in cities, only suburbs and rural areas. Some high-level member of the Republican party was trying to pitch the party in the article and he described the Republican party as "the party of individual freedom." Sadly, in practice individual freedom is the exact opposite of social responsibility, thus the "Help only Yourself" line on the T-shirt.

I'm still young and idealistic. I think that it is possible to change the world and help people... and moreover I think that we are morally required to do so. This is the core philosophy of the Democratic party, which is why I'm proud to call myself a Democrat.

Of course, Republicans aren't as interested in helping others. They consist primarily of people who have no problem taking care of themselves, and view people who cannot as "stupid" or "lazy." What Republicans tend to forget is that success in America depends more on who you know than what you know. The fact that a bumbling joke candidate was elected president because his daddy was predident is a testament to that.

Your comments about the education level of democrats is laughable. It is true that people who drop out of high-school tend to be Democrats. But I noticed that you failed to mention that the vast majority of Ph. Ds vote democrat (to the tune of 80%.)

Your comments about the morality, ethics and compentance of Republicans are equally laughable. Don't you find it hypocritical that the Republicans cling to christianity when it benefits them, but abandon it when it does not (capital punishment, war, helping the disenfranchised.) Compentant?? George W. is the least compentant politician since Quayle. Clinton may have screwed an intern, but George W. is going to screw pretty much all of us.... sorry, I mean Dick Cheney is going to screw us. We all know who's really running the show.

Seriously Venge, is your post a joke?

hmm, i feel a tocqueville smell over here. ...however, i agree with some of what you said, but democrats have also demonstrated remarkable resiliency over time and have shown that, with the commitment and dedication of the citizens they can overcome severe economic hardship, reconcile social and ethinic division.
