Don't right-wingers support individual liberty?

Right-wingers do support individual liberty.

However they do not support individual irresponsibility.

Get it?

[A2J]

I'm for freedom for my fellow citizens

I am, too. After they serve their time.

you ask good questions
I want to end income tax (and estate tax)
I'm willing to continue sales tax
government does not need all the money we give it
they waste 60% of what we give them
they could keep every program which actually helps someone
and still manage on 40%
they just have to learn how to get value for their money
I want government on strict budget, let citizens go off budget
citizens get joy from spending money on things they like
let them keep their money
Love, Palo

Hi A2J
I understand your point of view
I see it differently
as long as we can manage to have free and honest elections
each citizen will be able to vote for politician who represents their point of view
majority rules
I accept that

RJ, I am concerned about billclinton (who is now Head of Dem Party)
putting so much energy into winning Governor races for Dems
he has absolute control over all Dems now
if he has Dem Governors in there, he will put in corrupt SOS
who will count the votes and keep counting the votes till Dem wins
there will be trouble if we are denied honest elections
Love, Palo

TJ, see my post above 'bout SOS
The GOP is in power now
they must ensure honest elections
to prevent insidious take-over by gangster clinton and his gangster cohorts
Love, Palo

palo verde:
I think prostitution should be legalized too
I'm willing to tax prostitution and drugs
it's the income tax I want to get rid of

---

Well, come on out to Nevada! Legal & regulated prostitution & gambling, no state income tax, and we have MJ decrim on the ballot this year, allowing up to 3 OZ for personal, private use.

The GOP is in power now they must ensure honest elections

Kinda like they do in Illinois? LOL

I won't hold my breath waiting for the GOP to be the guardian of honest elections. The ballot access laws are the biggest problem, and they are hugely involved in the scandal that denys Americans of their voting rights.

[breakem]

you are correct, but I was more serious than you might think. Most of the ideas in my rant can be found here, proposed by some of our fellow conservatives. Sad.

hi tj
neither major political party puts ideology before politics
they just use that to demogogue for their base
ideologists know that and vote for ''lesser of two evils''
I think there is cause for concern now cause leadership of Dem Party (under billclinton) has been take over by gangsters
plus I want to stop the war on drugs
factors are in play now which weren't before
Love, Palo
