Oh, for real? Um, well that was more or less serious. That and chick flicks.
You're afraid of democrats because of 'the stuff they do'
Republicans want to eliminate healthcare and decrease taxes for the rich while cutting billions from education budgets.
Am I the only one that sees irony in this?
(I do NOT want to turn this thread into a flame war or political debate; I'm just stating something I view as ironic, in fact I do not fall into any specific political party. Democrats and Republicans both make stupid choices)
...?
I'm more of a libertarian, thats why I say Democrats suck. They're constantly trying to expand government control and that pisses me off. If I wanna kill myself, they should have no say in that. If I wanna protect my family with a gun, let me do it. If I let my kids drink (in the future, I don't have kids) thats between me and my wife.
The government isn't my fucking mother.
And the only reason I'd ever vote Republican is because they are usually fighting the ridiculous shenanigans the Democrats come up with. For the record, Republicans aren't fighting to ban health care (at least not in the states, i dunno about uk) they're fighting to give me freedom to get healthcare as a choice. They aren't stealing from the rich and giving to the needy (me included) because thats still stealing. Just because someone has money doesn't make it right to take.
And education? Well, no ones perfect I guess.
Like you said, I'm not trying to start a flame war but I believe that (as a party) Democrats do in fact make short-sighted choices. They're taking freedoms away to appease the ignorant masses which, I know it doesn't sound true, is the fact of the matter. You're absolutely right, I am sacred of what they might try to fuck up next.
