The last time I checked, Kerry did not have any executive power on 9/11. And that story about sitting motionless is totally taken out of context. They were in a meeting!

Geez, those idiot liberals.. They stopped slavery, fought for civil rights, fought for a safe environment, labour laws, safe drugs, laws that ensure your food is safe, that you get money to live when you're old, that children can all go to school even if their parents can't afford it, you name it. Yeah, they're all illogical all right!

Bush is not a neoconservative. They were a group of people who left the Democrat Party in the 60s, a few of who have jobs in the administration. Bush is basically a moderate Republican--strong on defense, left leaning on economics & regulation, moderate to conservative on social issues.


Your personal experience is well and good, but

I guess that means that once you're so rich that you don't care about protecting 'YOUR' money, you can start to care about others?

Personally I have more respect for poor republicans and rich democrats! Why? Because they aren't just looking for their own personal interests.

Good point.


And someone who votes Republican isn't necessarily one either.

The problem is that it isn't really clear what people who vote republican or democrat are really voting for. Are married women for example voting republican because of the conservative social values (pro-life, no gay marriages, etc..) or are they voting for the conservative for everything it stands for (less social programs, more tax cuts, ...). The facts are that when men and women marry, they tend to become better off financially (the power of two...). Also, the more educated you are, the richer you are, and so this also then boils down to a relation between $$ you have and how you vote. The richer one is (up to a point, as you mentioned earlier), the more likely to vote conservative.

To me the bottomline is that people tend to vote for what they think is their best interest personally. Whether what they vote for is really in their best interest in the long term, now that's another issue...

"You don't find many people who believe in the santity of human life who become pro-choice & start supporting euthenasia."

I disagree. I've known staunch conservatives who when faced with the unplanned pregnancy of their daughter, suddenly became pro-choice.

And there's countless stories of conservatives/republicans who when faced with a pregnant lover/mistress, were quick to get her an abortion.

Either they never believed in pro-life in the beginning and were therefore hypocritical, or they truly changed their mind.

I'm sure the same is true with euthanasia. It's hard to know how we would really feel when faced with a dying close relative who is in great pain.

Can you elaborate. I don't understand how you can be republican, but yet not conservative. At least by my definition of conservative...
