Prime example of my point... Bachman's response to being asked about her thoughts on gay & civil rights.. http://www.cnn.com/video/standard.html#/video/bestoftv/2011/08/15/exp.ac.kth.bachmann.cnn?hpt=hp_t2
So don't vote for her. You have that right. Until socialist Progressives successfully subvert the Constitution that you apparently feel is so outdated, you DO still have the right to vote for whoever the heck you want to, and speak your mind against whoever you want to. That right is provided to you by the "outdated" 1770's Constitution. You're welcome.
You claim to be somewhat "conservative"..... but I know conservatives & conservatism pretty dog-gone well - and you sir, are not very conservative - at least as American conservatives define the term. I don't doubt that you are indeed a "conservative Canadian" would honestly put you about 5- 10 notches "left of center" in America. I respect that, but it is what it is.
That being the case, as with McCain, we conservatives saw what happens when we let conservative-disliking liberals choose our candidate for us. Taking the advice of people that desire your failure is NOT a good idea. That won't happen again in this election, I assure you.
But cheers.... enjoy the Bachman-bashing. Maybe you can get some Beck & Palin bashing in, too. The outdated Constitution ensures your right to do so, and it is making a comeback, like it or not.
Love ya Petey, my friend..... but leave the "conservatism", to conservatives.
Definition of "Conservatism"
Conservatism (Latin: conservare, "to preserve")[1] is a political and social philosophy that promotes the maintenance of traditional institutions and supports, at the most, minimal and gradual change in society
That is a broad brush and to be honest, I agree, most people in this country are considered conservative, but not Republican. There is a Difference. It's not automatic
Just because you want things to go back to the "old days" and want minimal changes in society doesn't automatically make you want to give tax breaks to the people who need them the least while screwing over the poor and middle class, and spend the whoel day bashing the current administration. And before you call me an "Obama lover", no, I hate the guy and think he is the 2nd worst president we have ever had, right behind the last 'tard we had. Between the two of them they have almost single-handedly (would that be double-handedly) destroyed this country.
I consider myself a liberal conservative and a fiscal conservative and we are the people who will decide the next election - not all the rabid "righties" and "lefties"
But thats the catch Nick.. We are both moderates...and they need our vote.... But all the bitching wont do it ladies...
