Not everyday you get to see this shit in black and white, literally on paper thus i posted this piece. But hey Willie, keep arguing the "conservative" side of things. Meanwhile these guys just laugh their way to the bank while you and the rest of us actually think there is a difference and that things will change. Status quo baby, just keep bleeding the host.
fletch, I don't condone the action of lobbyists, they're paid to manipulate policy.
I have often criticized the lack of fiscal responsibility on the part of politicians on both sides of the aisle. The fact that the Republicans were not more conservative when they were in power is why they were swept out of power.
I will defend conservatism to the very end. Don't confuse policy debate or a debate about principles with a debate about a particular politician.
I was very disappointed with W's fiscal spending and would prefer to see our deficit cut, but I did agree with him on taxes, regulatory policy, defense and some other issues.
Obama and the democrats are showing us what modern liberalism is all about, and there is no way in hell you can argue that it's all the same.
Maybe tizdoom was right, maybe we need an abomination like Obama to get a wake up call and to give birth to a real conservative government, as the founding fathers intended.

Maybe he was right and i agree with much you have to say, although our founding fathers never wanted to be in the business of using the federal government to set policy on morality and if you have any inclination of what there reasons of starting this nation, then you would have to agree. So, the question must be asked, why are republicans not following that script? Since when did the party of leave me and my family alone, become the party of you and your family live the way i do....or else your going to fucking hell you inferior pile of shit? If we are calling spades spades, lets at least use the entire deck...not just the cards that you want to use.
Republicans want to be taken seriously, they first ought to stop being liberals and start focusing on the core beliefs, which are libertarian beliefs if nothing else
well, you left your imposing morality statement very vague, so I'm going to assume you're talking about abortion since you're talking to me.
I would argue that you're begging the question. The issue becomes when does life begin, something they didn't argue much about back in the day. Once life begins, then the child is protected by the constitution and laws of the land. It's not a morality issue at all. My position is that a fetus is certainly a living being once it can survive outside the womb, thus late term abortions should be banned.
I never once used "God" in any of my arguments
as for morality broadly defined? all laws are a reflection of society's morality, so there is some line that needs to be drawn somewhere

Fletch...this is how the system is supposed to work.
Out in the open so it can be discussed on forums like this.
Transparency, accountability ect.
You should be marveling at our open system...it's not perfect but democracy is messy.
