damn... I missed out on this thread
I like these political threads.
I think argumentation and debate are very important forms of critical thinking. We really do need to hash out these specifics amongst ourselves.
Personally I've never registered with either party (I consider myself a progressive libertarian... I'm not gonna try to explain it here)
Until the last decade or so I've always voted depending on a candidates position on legalization (still do) usually I vote republican in the primary & democratic in the final election (dictated by the choices presented to me locally)
I would vote for Ron Paul or Gary Johnson over Obama, I won't vote for Palin, Huckabee or Mitt Romney. That means I'll probably follow the same formula in 2012 (vote for the most popular of the two in the primaries and when they loose... vote for Obama again)
Actually, I'd still have misgivings about a libertarian in the office of president unless it was balanced out somewhere on the progressive side elsewhere in the branches of government.
I almost want to start some shit up just for the fun of arguing but I don't want to be a troll... (but here's some raw meat... I'll try to relate it to marijuana)
Free Trade Vs Fair Trade (sounds fairly benign doesn't it... ahhbwahahaha...)
"The Nanny State" (My fiance is alive because of Medicare... not that it doesn't need improvement, but not by a libertarian, personally I preferred the public option, I actually read that bill... whoops! that's not relate-able to Marijuana... wow I must be stoned... look at how long this [bracketed?] run-on sentence is... and how many ellipses I've used... I just hate the phrase Nanny State and someone threw that out there... oh ya I can tie it in to MMJ... didn't the VA recently ease up and approve the use of medical marijuana for veteran's [I don't remember the specifics right now]... [just went and found it... http://www.nytimes.com/2010/07/24/health/policy/24veterans.html, that's a plus]... wonder if this will time out before I finish this sentence?)
Capitalism Vs ... (I forgot what I was going to contrast this with... Entrepreneurship? no that's not it... can't remember what I was gonna say, maybe it will come to me... it's probably covered under fair vs free trade...)
I'm sitting and watching hannity interviewing palin right now and I'm reminded of how much I hate most republicans... although I do remember a thread mentioning a quote by her that she didn't think marijuana was a big problem but that's the only positive thing I can say about her (but she's an easy target).
woo hoo!
