tellner, I don't think you understand the issues very well. Granted, I don't think Zen or Kim understands either.
This isn't a matter of left and right anymore, it is a matter of power resting in the hands of the state, and power resting in the hands of individuals, and their smaller organizations freely assembling and associating.
Zen, you are talking about a dying portion of the Republican party. There was a part of the party which was for all the bill of rights. And minimal trade restrications and regulations, but the neo-cons have hijacked the party. Now, corporations looking out for corporate welfare, and attempting to expand their markets, drive down prices and competition, and up quarterly profits, have begun to use the government to acquire welfare in the form of subsidies, and tax credits, and grants, and government guareanteed loans. What is the best consumer? The consumer who has no choice but to take your services. Eliminating the BoR is integral to this plot because corporations do not want free association, or a free market. This could allow a small business to supplant them through a better, cheaper, faster, etc. product. I've said before, corporations love the free market, until they get beat in competition. This current crew of Republicans are fascists wrapped in a U.S. flag. But despite that, you can see the cheap lipstick, jean miniskirt, and leopard print bustier that marks them clearly as, you guessed it folks Corporate Whores!
As for you Kim:
Understand, the party of AuH2O and the party of Jorge "Who Let Our Jobs Go to India?" Shrub are at odds with each other.
Whereas Goldwater would be vehemently against the trampling of the BoR that Bush has done, and would have been much more carefull about pursuing the "War on Terror," Bush simply pushes onward as if "Yeehaw" was a foreign policy statement.
A traditional Republican administration would be trying to balance our budget, and would prohibit our selling of our debts to the communists to fascists Chicoms.
A traditional Republican administration would have some serious debate going on concerning job outsourcing and measuring the good of the country against possible returns in cheaper products and services.
tellner, my question to you is, If the Democrats are the "defenders of American rights, and the middle class," Why did so many Dems vote for the Patriot Act?
Why are so many for illegal immigration which obviously drives down the wages of unskilled labour (and by extension, skilled labour, which cannot bargain for as high a wage they might have been able to if they could walk into an unskilled job and get payed decently)?
Why are they still for tax increases to save SS and Medicare which always have a much harder impact on the middle class than any other in terms of take home salary, and buying power?
Why haven't they presented a major job protection plan which helps us to possibly retain some jobs from outsourcing by offering credits to employers who keep jobs here?
All are things which the Dems should be all over. They aren't, and I wonder, Why?
