I left the last section where it asks for prioritizing at no opinion so it wouldn't skew the numbers.

No surprise to me.
When I was young my father explained to me his opinion of the differences between a republican and a democrat:

A democrat is someone who wants the government to take something away from others and give it to them even though they didn't earn it solely because the want it or need it.

A republican says don't give me anything I didn't earn, just let me keep what I did.

That should stir the flames :)

Or in the words of Bill Clinton, "If you want to live like a Republican, you'd better vote Democrat!" :D

(Actually, it was Harry Truman who said it originally. Clinton credited him when he said this). :cool:

A democrat is a republican who just spent the night in jail.

A republican is a democrat who was just mugged.

Hey that's pretty good. At the risk of complicating it too much, I would just change it to:

A democrat is someone who wants the government to take something away from others and give 80% of it to them, even though they didn't earn it, solely because they want it or need it.

The government gets to keep the other 20%, giving it an incentive to take even more the next time around.

A republican says don't give me anything I didn't earn, just let me keep what I did.

Haha, Bush 48%. The only reason he probably got that much is because I suspect we both agree on abortion/religion.

I gotta say - I always laugh when I look at you guys debating how "democrat = socialist". It's not even close! Democrat = centre left, or maybe centre.

Cam: are you sure you're not American? Or sending emails from L.A. or something? You seem to have a better handle on all this than we have...

no, there are quite a few Democrats here that are socialist enough to make Karl Marx look moderate

CamB 01-27-2004 12:16 PM

We have another whole party for those guys (actually, 2 parties). I guess my point is that it isn't the Democrat party's, err, party line.

ronin 01-28-2004 10:39 PM

aha. well, the Democrats don't enjoy that privilege here, just as the Republicans don't either. if there were another party here for elements of the extreme left, then it would only be appropriate to have one available for those with a hard-right bent. I assume that the other party that you speak of is meant for just that purpose?
