Jesus wouldn't stand a chance in American politics. He'd quickly be labeled an anti-capitalist (just look how he treated those money-changers at the Temple). And the "Jordan River Swift-Boaters for Biblical Truth" would produce claimed historical documents showing that John's alleged baptism of Jesus was in fact a homosexual encounter, with lots of "water sports".

Imagine what the left would say when Jesus said its important to love your unborn child, that ID is correct, and that one should not engage in sexual relations outside of marraige!

Probably a repeating grunting cycle of "forcing morality", "women", "sexsexsexfvckfvckfvck", "incubators", "damn those rich evil Republican Jesusfreaks", and "I DID NOT HAVE SEX WITH THAT WOMAN!".

Topic Summary: speculation, analysis, and predictions

The November 2004 disaster clearly shows the power of Religious brainwashing that the Republicans have mastered so there is no way to predict any outcome any longer.

It's like Star Wars, the Dark Side has been winning, will the Good Force kick in only the Shadow knows.

It's the God of liberals as well. Look at Soros and Moore. The average liberal though just hides it by bashing the rich, telling them to provide healthcare for the poor they don't give a sh!t about, telling them to provide retirement for the elderly they don't give a sh!t about, and the "greedygreedygreedygreedyselfishselfishselfishselfish" warchanting.

I have no idea who will prosper in 2006. By acting like a liberal President Bush has certainly done what he could to destroy the Republican platform. The Republican Senators and House members have likewise not stood up to the tantrums of the Democrats.

Possibly they hope that the people will see through such tactics. If so, they forget how much the media controls liberal "thinking."

My prediction? In predominantly liberal areas the dead will again vote in higher percentages than the living; absentee ballots from the military will again be discarded (or at least the attempt will be made to discard) in the interest of not disenfranchising the real people; the liberals will again destroy conservative candidate headquarters; and the liberals will again disenfranchise the minority vote through various means and where practical blame it on President Bush.

One thing is for certain: you will see a lot of Republicans campaigning without president Bush "helping" them. The candidates are probably all starting letters "While we do appreciate the offer, we must respectfully decline your visit......"

I doubt very seriously that the Republicans will reign in their overspending, any more than Democrats would.

I've said it time and again: The biggest difference between Democrat and Republican is the spelling, followed by the pronunciation.

Yeah, I know a lot of people who are fed up with the spending and general economic intrusion. This is a large segment of the Right that needs to be heard and it's foolish for those in power to take their support for granted.

You got two basic problems, exemplified by Rick Santorum. He's weak and pathetic, changing his tune and basically squandering his convictions as he scrambles to "go middle" in a heated battle with a challenger. This IS NOT the way the conservative movement, especially it's political "leaders," should act and it won't help in an election.

Second, he represents a faction that is basically stupid. It seems to me, he's less concerned about economic strength and national security than making sure gays burn at the stake. I get the impression if he had to choose one thing for this country, it's that gays would die slowly in a fire. In other words, his priorities (and principles) are completly out of whack.

Santorum is a total f*ckwit IMO

I'm a registered Libertarian and would only vote Democrat if I were convinced they were fiscally responsible, ******AND******* that they act responsibly on the Iraq thing.

I cannot believe these dems who knew full well what they were doing are willing to shrug off all the responsibility that is on their shoulders for this war and are willing to risk losing it for political benefit.

Apparently negative ads don't have the punch they used to.

11-15-2005 Miller Claims Bud Light Formula Different

MILWAUKEE - The latest fight in the U.S. beer battle is a matter of taste. Miller Brewing Co. says rival Anheuser-Busch has altered Bud Light in the past year to make it more bitter and bubbly, rolling out the claim about Bud Light in national television ads that began airing Friday. The company said data it has collected show Bud Light's bitterness and carbonation rose from last year.

The dispute is the latest chapter in a bitter skirmish for sales as Americans increasingly experiment with liquor-based drinks and more upscale microbrews and imports. As a result, beer sales have gone flat in the U.S. market.

"Irrespective of who's right on whether the taste changed, it's a continuation of a campaign Miller has had for two years," Steinman said. Miller's attack in the light beer segment since 2003 helped turn around its flagship Miller Lite last year and steal market share from Anheuser-Busch for the first time in nearly three decades.

But the offensive has turned off some broadcasters.

Last December, CBS and NBC pulled three Miller ads that took aim at Bud Light and Budweiser, with CBS calling the ads "disparaging."

What else can they do when they have no platform, no ideas, and no solutions?

They'll play the same, tired old Anti-Republican, Anti-War ticket that worked SO well for them in 2004. :laugh: :laugh:

He would also advocate feeding and clothing the hungry and paying your taxes - "Render unto Caeser what is Caeser's." That would destroy his chances with people like you.

Not true at all. Many conservatives would gladly give willingly; there is a difference between charity and coercion, one liberals don't seem to grasp or care about.

Jesus would never force the evil rich to give against their will.

 

[WhipperSnapper]

My prediction: The same types of do-nothing politicians from both parties will win the elections. Few of the candidates will dare address the nation's mass immigration, overpopulation, foreign outsourcing, and global labor wage arbitrage problems, essentially meaning that the Pussyfied Heads-In-The-Sand Wealthy Party will have prevailed again.

The Democrats will claim that they won the election, and the Republicans will claim that the results are a sign that the Democrats are dead and that they have vanquished the evil Liberals. The media will then proclaim that the nation's economy is doing swimmingly and that we need not be concerned with petty economic issues that are uncomfortable to discuss.

Behind the scenes they will all be patting each other on the back and laughing gleefully knowing that their single party prevailed and that once again they will have succeeded in pulling a fast one on the American people. Having successfully distracted the populace with crucially important issues such as whether or not gay marraige should be legal, they will rejoice and drink a toast to the destruction of the American middle class and the nation's growing slave class. Then they'll prepare their public service ads and media campaign to advise unemployed and underemployed Americans to invest time and money in higher education and skills training for jobs and positions that do not exist.

And current trends will continue their course as the nation declines towards third world nationhood.

I hear this from Libertarians a lot, but aren't social issues a big issue as well? A Libertarian, at least in theory, should dislike the Republicans for their anti-gay marriage and pro-police powers stances as much as they dislike the Democrats for their lack of fiscal discipline (although I'm not sure the Republicans are any better here). As far as acting responsibly on the Iraq front, isn't the basic Libertarian idea against nation building type activities? It seems like the Libertarian position on Iraq should be that once we found out that Iraq posed no threat, our top priority should be exiting as fast as possible.

Then again, I never got big "L" Libertarians, I like the basic libertarian ideas, but I always though the official party guys took a little too much of the economic conservative ideas without enough of the social liberal ideas. But that's just me.

True. Most Libertarians on this board should be vehemently anti-Republican. They should stand for fiscal conservatism and social liberalism. Most modern Republcans are completely opposite on both counts. Most Democrats are at least as fiscally conservative, and definately more socially liberal.

 

[ExpertNovice]

I agree with both of you. too bad we can't, at this point, throw out both parties and start over.
