ORIGINAL: Estring Really? Then I guess anyone who is a democrat is a leftist and an athiest? Careful with your sterotypes. And I seem to recall Tipper Gore (that well known Right winger) leading the crusade to censor rock music in the 80's. I really don't think people like her would approve of what we do. And if you really want the truth about rights being taken away, the left is far and away doing a better job. From speech codes in college, to smoking bans, and even political correctness. If you really care about your rights, instead of parroting what others tell you, you should be more concerned about these type of things, which actually affect your life, than right wing Christians. Alright, well I guess you got me there. Dude, there are no stereotypes here, just a platform, an election, a voting record (or two) and an army of Christian zealots with ready access to the White House. Think what you want. If either of us has been 'duped', the smart money is on you. I never associated myself with either one of the hairsprayed, American flag in the lapel, suit and tie wearing jackasses that compromise the bulk of the Republican AND Democratic party. To me, it's a classic case of the lessor of two evils. Be that as it may, the fact remains that of the two, the Republican Party has readily aligned itself with the Christian Right. Fuck yes...I'll take the liberal tax-and-spend Democrat over the religious-zealot Republican anyday. I don't have a problem going outside to have a smoke. I DO have a problem with some Republican trying to legislate MY morality. Btw, take that crap about 'parroting' somewhere else. You're the one that brought up taxes, which is the opiate of so many (lay) Republicans. How's the Grand Old Party doing with the deficit? Not so good I think. Probably a great time to cut taxes, right? My guess is neither one of us will see any real benefits as a result of those tax cuts anyway. Then again, I doubt the next generation will either.
