Re: My V-10 kicks enviromentalist butt!

you are wrong yet. investigate the designer of the ballot and you will see she was a one-term Democrat; formerly a life-long Pubican and now an independent.

yeah but who passed the current red ink budget?

well the "jeep thing" thread had degenerated intro a Microsoft history lesson.......

Actually that's too much work for them, they just believe in taxing it into submission.

Big time. Top 50% of Wage Earners Pay 96.09% of Income Taxes

Definately.

Don't know how strongly they feel about publicizing everything, but they show do go ballistic whenever talk of privitizing something comes up.

OK, we'll just call em 4/5 socialists then....

Yes.

It's hardly free if you have to pay $4.50/gallon tax on gasoline to get it, is it?

I'm sure there are other subtleties, etc. Our health care system has problems due to the lawyers and frivolous malpractice suits.

Nevermind. I know where this is going.

Perhaps you need to look a bit closer. I'm not familiar with the phrase "command economy", but everything else you mentioned is dead on what the Democrats want.

Would you guys please come into some power after the leadership vaccuum created by the dimise of the Democratic party hits it's zenith? It would be nice to have rational opponents that could be respected.

Yep. :/

You an ex-C-Span junky too?

I was for a bit, but it tapped too far into my growing (and it was already rather large) cynicism. It's one thing to suspect your elected officials are loons, liars, crooks and idiots - it's quite another to watch it in action.

Whatever it takes, I guess.

Is anything provided by any govt. free? It's free at point of supply though, and truly free for those without cars!

I bet you don't - I'm a right wing conservative. (Small & large 'C') :)

So no then.

Well?

Hmmm. . . . . .could you elucidate please.

So what public services are provided by the democrats that aren't by the republicans?

Not even 5% socialists - must try harder.

Really? Which industries have the democrats nationalised recently?

If they were socialists a national health service would be top of their list, but they don't ssem to have provided one yet.

A command economy is one run by the state like the old soviet union.

%%%% And the lib/dems fell for it! This could be a strong indication of their intelligence actually lack of!!! ;o0

Wow...I'm glad I joined the ford trucks newsgroup so I can read everybodies political views. Later... Grant Speed Kills...Drive a Honda, live forever...

We run into a little trouble with that one. Since largely it is US companies fronting the bill for the R&D that provides cheapers better drugs and procedures for the rest of the world it becomes difficult for US to achieve a leechbased healthcare system without putting at least some of the cost on the non-producers. Since this is totally unacceptable to leechvoters and hugely unpopular with those that would end up footing the rest of the bill, it has trouble even being formed to come for a vote. Take recent events where Bush has said "Get me a healthcare bill, I'll sign it" and then the press starts giving out the details that it will (gasp) cost some more than they are getting back (they wanted the magical cow to pay for it all), suddenly they are all up in arms and it probably won't get passed.

Why do all you responders hang out in alt.trucks.ford! You only show up when some dork antagonizes you (intentionally I would guess, while s/he sits back and laughs at you!). While, all around are legit vehicle questions going unanswered. Educated Republican isn't the dork here, all you mindless responders are, as you sit in front of your CRT wasting away. Geez, I wonder why I keep coming back! I am becoming y'all :-(

In fairness, since it was a lib trying to write as a conservative, it was far more likely to be perceived as a true viewpoint by the libs. As a conservative it was more obviously a severe distortion of any rational viewpoint. A Rep trying to jym up a lib memo, might fool is fellow alums in just as high a percentage.
