You're not really this dumb are you? You currently have 2 parties. A 3rd party means they create anew one, ********

Around here, that's 2 jumbo rats...

Wow, someone clearly scored very low on the reading comprehension part of the SAT's. And just to clarify that person would be Varus.

No. Cannibalism of demigods is a basic tenet of their belief system.

I'm not a Democrat and I think a 3rd party, using middle of the road stakes, would rape both parties of their good people.

Indeed, but starting a party up sucks for its politicians.

Unless you build it through a direct democracy approach.

As a politician, you get paid pretty well for minimal competence in an established party.

In order to get an equivalent level of recognition as a alternative party politician you need to be exceptionally good across multiple spheres.

And by "deal" you mean he told them he didn't agree with their position, opposed it openly and strongly, and caused a landslide defeat of their anti-gay measure? WTF? Did you just not bother to read?



No. Reagan understood that most "Christian Values" are good things which don't hurt anyone and can and should be embraced, while firmly keeping the occasional fringe ideas at arm length. He understood that you don't toss out an entire group of people because a tiny portion of them hold positions you don't agree with. He also understood (as the Left has failed to do) that by demonizing the entire group, you only serve to empower that small percentage.




Really? Are laws concerning social issues relevant to the group in question more or less stringent today than they were 30 years ago? I would argue that Reagan (and the Republican party in general) has used the social conservatives to push their fiscal agenda, accomplishing quite a bit on the fiscal side (with some notable exceptions), while not doing anything more than preventing abuses against the social conservatives in the process.


Look. I know everyone loves to talk up the evil religious fundamentalists, but the reality is that they are less powerful and less significant today than they ever have been in this country. The increased rhetoric is not from them but against them. It's why all the stuff you hear is attacking them for their positions and almost nothing defending them. That doesn't happen because they are gaining power, but because they've all but lost it. In fact, the pendulum has swung so far against them, that the other "side" is now pushing agenda positions so far to the extreme that moderates and centrists are starting to say "whoa now!".


30 years ago, there wasn't a single state even considering changing their marriage laws to include gay couples. The fact that there are several states, and pressure federally to address this should be the first clue as to which direction the power and voice has shifted. Let's at least be honest about this, shall we?

Oh. And for the record:



So if imprisonment is a punishment for murder, then all people in prison committed murder? Yes. The logic in here is just astounding!

Didn't I already comment on this? Yes. I'm sure I did...

What's the logical track you take to figure out when some dipshit doesn't get jokes?

You left out, "Are you saying these pants make me look like a mackerel?"

I suppose it's the same one taken to realize that when that sort of "joke" is made, it's with the express hope that most people will take it seriously, and make major choices based on it (like say, who they vote for President of the US).

The "joke" here is the degree to which the political agenda of the Left depends on using said jokes to get people to vote the way they want...
