The Difference...

I do come across as a Republican. I'm not really, but it's hard to show much of the time.

I've noticed in conversations with Libtard Lenny that I end up defending the Republican because Lenny's point is based on some aspect of the Republican that's patently not true. Then we end up having a debate about whether it's true or not and it's invariably some subjective perception of character. "Bush is an idiot." "Sarah Palin is a moron." are typical examples. It is a definite indication of his character that he never calls a Democrat an "idiot" or "moron" when they do exactly the same thing that he's using to justify his assessment of the Republican.

He's also called Rudolph Guilianni a Fascist. Mayor Guilianni never glorified the military, seized the means of production or any of a number of other tell-tales. He was extremely zealous in enforcing New York's laws. Strict is the word that Lenny is looking for. I would also like to point out that the laws are generated by the legislature, not the executive. The legislatures are the people to really blame.

I have a short phrase that sums up how I feel about the two parties. "The difference between the Republicans and the Democrats is the difference between being hit in the balls by a sledge hammer and having your balls ripped off. You definitely don't want either, but you damn sure know which you would prefer if you were only given a choice between the two."

I vote R because I think that we can recover from the damage done. I think that they tend to move slow enough that we can possibly even reverse the "progress". Despite his flaws, Reagan managed to reverse some of it. That's why he's remembered fondly. The Democrats move fast, with no thought to the consequences. They tend to make huge changes that are almost impossible to reverse.

Given a real choice, I would not choose either of the two ruling parties.
