"Piece of garbage, fascist capitalist pig, murderous war profitering swindle..." You know guys, it's that type of well balanced tempered rhetoric that so endears the general voting public to the left. If politics was nothing more than a fit of name calling, the posts above would be A+ work, no doubt. Madison, you seem to have simply gone 'round the bend. Both Senator Clinton and Mr. Obama have raised a massive amount of money, much more than McCain. And they didn't use the capitalist system to do so? So, where are your strong words rebuking them? Wait, lean, vote, and name call in support of the left so they can use capitalism, right? So can Michael Moore and company--it's "Capitalist pig" if you vote for a Republican, but not if you are a John Edwards (rich) John Kerry (massively rich) or Ted Kennedy (very, very Rich). Let me know when you figure out how to argue that one, Okay? -Drew I can whole-heartliy agree with the first part of this post drew, but the second part would be like the pot calling the kettle black and shows no difference between the parties or candidates. Bush isnt poor, neither are McCain, Gulianni, or Romney! To vote for someone not rich would mean staying home drinking beer on election day!

All the states ran by conservatives (like KY) are dumps and all the states that are liberal (like California) are prosporous. This is what started making me change my mind on how I view conservatism and liberalism. NC isnt a dump! We do pretty darn good! We arent the wealthiest, but we are far from the bottom, and better than 70%. Last I saw, we were a conservative State!

We do have a lot of Drmocratic Govenors, but for President our state almost always goes Republican! Strange aye?

My post this morning was not well constructed as I had just opened my eyes. I don't care of someone is rich or poor. I mean, I don't think that because someone is rich that they are corrupt nor do I think that nobility is found in poverty. But when Madison starts ranting about McCain being a capitalist pig (while supporting RICHER people) who, at least with him get a free pass, that is just a bad argument. -Drew

What passes for conservative these days are NeoCons, they are the furthest thing from Conservative.

"Fascist" "Capitalist Pig" pages right out of the Socialist Doctrine. I continually have to remind you that the "Fascists" were liberals to begin with, they were for changing the old order. Calling General Patraeus a trator, wow at least he salutes our flag unlike a well known Liberal Socialist presidential candidate. MM you need to learn Farsi so you can communicate with your new masters while you spend what is left of a short miserable life that can be ended at their whim groveling at their feet. President Bush is a servant of the Saudi King. He bows to the Saudi King. Not only bows, but licks his sandals.

I grew up conservative and live in an extremely conservative religious right community. The older I get, the more liberal I am becoming. I am proud to be called a liberal. I look up to Thomas Jefferson. So did I, but I consider myself an Independent Moderate.

But I will be so brash as to call the NeoConservative principles garbage at best.
