Settles it. Me and my conservative buddy are skipping this election cycle. Probably go out for a steak lunch and beers and hope Obama wins. McCain is a nightmare.
I will change my registration to Independent as soon as I get back downtown.
Screw the GOP.
And you are 100% sure he doesn't have a 666 mark somewhere on him?
Well I guess the GOP will be running a Candidate advocating a Tax Hike for the 1st in at least 30 years. Congratulation GOP Establishment. Way to commit political suicide.
IF the GOP cannot even hold the line on tax hikes, what DO they stand for?
Partys are not indestructible. Since the two partys seem bent on fusion, there is coming a time when a new political party will have to rise.
Hegel Dialectic in action. 1st you have a thesis, in reaction to which forms an antithesis which over time combines to become the synthesis which then becomes the thesis developing a new antithesis.
In these terms the thesis was the Democrat party, which developed over time the anti-thesis Republican party. With McCain in the lead, the the purging of true Conservative candidates like this, we seem to see the Republican Establishment accelerating a fusion with the Democrat Party leadership. They are becoming a synthesis.
SO it appears the Republican-Democrats will form a globalist, interventionist European Socialist style party. That will be the new thesis.
In reaction to that something new will arise. An new Anti-thesis. It may be that Ron Paul is an out rider of that new trend. Perhaps indicating the coming rise of an Isolationist, limited Govt., Nationalist party of Libertarian-Conservatives to oppose the Corporatist Democrat-Republican party
A lot rides on this election for setting the course of politics for the coming generation. If it ends up being Hillary vrs McCain it will be a matter only of the partys arguing over the speed to which the US should develop a European style authoritarian bureaucratic socialist style Govt.
