Ok, try to box me into whatever category makes you feel comfortable. The truth is, everyone thinks they're objective when it comes to politics, but we all know that's not true. If you follow my take on issues,
and know politics well enough to know what issues fall into what side each fence you'll see that most of my leanings fall into that of a conservative libertarian. I usually vote republican because it's supposedly the next closest thing. The Bush administration spent like drunken sailors too, and if I'd been on this board during his term, you'd have seen me bitch about that too, so don't try to tell me I'm one sided! I too, wish there were more viable voting parties out there, but it seems building a larger consensus hasn't taken hold enough. Hopefully, and by the sounds of things on this board, as well as nationally, there's a cry for at least a viable third party, hopefully more. I can't stand the thought of a big, instrusive government, and what we have sitting in the white house now is doing exactly that.
As far as Palin goes, the media assault on her was one of the most dishonest, disgusting things I've ever seen. My problem lies not with liberals per se, but their intelectual dishonesty, and that I rarely see the same sets of criteria used to judge people on BOTH sides of the political fence.
See, by me wanting in general the government to GTFO, I infringe nothing on you. It doesn't ask for more of your money, ask you to do/not do anything, just to leave us the hell alone. I can only assume, since many of you libs keep voting for laws and people that vehemently disagree with that ideology, that you take offense to that as well. To that, I bid a welcome fuck you. Have a nice day.
