I'm gonna lay it all right out here:

After all that's been said and done, all the things they've inflicted on America, the American people, and the world, anyone who supports the Bush "Administration" falls into one of these categories:
  1. Stupid
  2. Delusional
  3. Corrupt

I'm with dracono here. there's quite a few of us that dont buy into Michael Moore's lies and dont make kissy-faces at Kerry. Granted, Bush has been a less than stellar president, but I'd take him over Kerry. (though not by much).

My reasons? Well for the vast majority of reasons, I support the democrat platform (not kerrry) on their social issues, however the stark fact of the matter is that I make good money and I dont like being taxed to pay for indigants, especially non-working ones! I believe in limited socialized healthcare, yet I dont want to be told which doctor to see, and that I cant pay for better treatment if I want it. I'm an atheist and support gay rights fully (Kinda hard for me not to ;) ), but I dont want to see America's social fabric getting *too* diverse, where it begins to unravel - variety is nice, but chaos is destructive. I also like my guns, chewing tobacco, and Capn' Morgans, and want to retain the freedom to destroy my own body if I please to do so, which is another problem I have with big-government democrats.

So yeah I'm not exactly in line with either party. but when it comes down to it, what's good for my pocketbook is more important to me than what's good for society. When I get 8 million in the bank I can go join Greenpeace or whatever. ;)

Ladies and gentlemen, I give you the Republican Party platform in a nutshell.

So I should file you under "3. Corrupt", then?

How is it corrupt to want to hold on to what you have? I too have a problem supporting indigent 'Welfare Mamma's ' that COULD work.. but choose not to because the public dole will provide more in the way of funds.

I have a problem with people who pop out kids like a machinegun does bullets for the sole purpose of getting more scratch from the Feds, and should said scratch ever be interrupted, have absolutely no viable way of supporting their brood.

I have little to no problem offering help where help is WARRANTED and DESERVED. I resent having money taken away from me that /I COULD USE FOR MY OWN ENDS/ specifically to 'HELP' people who can't figure out how to keep their legs together and stop birthing young'uns they can't support.. when they can't even support themselves.

Oh, hellfire, most of the money being taken away from you right now is going to the people at the other end of the income spectrum.

Yeah, we might let in some brown people, or lower class folks, or something.

Your logic seems to be summed up by "hey, I got mine, so screw everyone else."

So, corrupt fits.

Yay let's make America safe for greedy atheist gays with guns and booze, and everyone else can go to hell! America should be just diverse enough to include ME.

What a joke.
