Lindsey 0 #7 September 14, 2005 I live in Houston and we woulld take care of our own. Well....that could be disputed. After all, Houston's air is more polluted than most. Air pollution is linked to both lung cancer and birth defects. A quarter of my current hospitalized patients are displaced because of the hurricane. These are not people who New Orleans could have taken care of right now. I'm so glad that we didn't expect them to pick themselves up by THEIR bootstraps. Couldn't have been done. They have no bootstraps left. linz-- A conservative is just a liberal who's been mugged. A liberal is just a conservative who's been to jail Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

bodypilot90 0 #10 September 14, 2005 no no no, because the locals did not follow their plan, The bus drivers are part of (or should be) civil defense. How do I know, I'm part of the CD network here in Florida. I am the first one up with hurricane shutters because i know when I get off work It'll be way to windy to try to put them up.

Oh I pay attention. I just see through the trees. Sure, the immediate goals differ, but both sides want and do the same thing: The other side MUST be wrong To show they are right they will say how evil the other side is They both want controlling power They both would like to see the other gone Compromise is a last resort You partyline is more important than actual thinking And the kicker: both are tearing the country apart. Now, to me at least, you have proven to me you are not pay attention. One side continually condems what the other is doing while never offering any solutions. The other side is offering solutions and then defending themselves from the attacks. Obviously, you don't, or refuse, to see the difference For some reason you seem to think that telling me what is wrong with Democrats will convince me that Republicans are wonderful. It will not. You are absolutely correct, they offer very little in the way of strong solutions to a problem. However, I don't find Republicans to be doing all that great either. Giving solutions that do not work well is not a good solution. you can ask me, 'what is 2 +2?" all day, but if I yell out every number save for four, I am still wrong. The Republicans now are not about small government and less instrusiveness. They may offer more ideas, but I don't like most of them. To me, the only thing conservative about them is their morality. And just to reiterate this one more time: Just because I don't like republicans does not mean I love democrats. Try to see it from more than a binary method. Giving examples of how the opposite side of your coin is bad is not going to convince me that the other side is good when I don't like either.Why yes, my license number is a palindrome. Thank you for noticing.

If the libertarians would stop touting their weed agenda and just being silly, they might actually have that potential. Oh well. I would say splinter group, but I think they are small enough already. rushmc - I am only going on what I see in your posts. I have not seen much to tell me you do not simply side with Republicans till just now. Sorry for the inference I guess. Why yes, my license number is a palindrome. Thank you for noticing.
