dcs2244- I know that we would have to change our election system from a "winner take all" to parlimentary representation, to actually have a strong third party. However, I do not think that will happen anytime soon. We almost did change it though, by doing away with the Electoral College, in 1969 after George Wallace gave Richard Nixon a run for his money in the '68 presidential race. The spoiler role can be good for highlighting certain issues that the two major parties refuse to talk about, such as when Ross Perot beat Bush I and Clinton like a drum on budget deficits....and 6 years later we had balanced budgets. That is until this current fiscal liberal was elected.
 
Unfortunately, FedCop, given the events of 911, deficits were pretty much unavoidable. However, that does not mean that they need to be as large as they are. Too, when taken as a percentage of the GDP, they aren't that bad...but if the economy heads south...

In any event, we need to drag the GOP (kicking and screaming if need be) back to the world of fiscal responsibility. That means finding the right people...and I don't think Rudi and Co. are up to the challenge.
 
FEDCOP-I agree with the fact that you said the 3rd party candidates talk about issues that the dems or the G.O.P. refuse to talk about. For example; Ralph Nader (I would never consider voting for him) was bold enough to say that the United States caters to Isreal too much by giving them support in terms of armament and leaning towards their direction in the Palestinian/Isreali conflict. Not to be anti-semetic but by stating the fact that most of American news media outlets are controlled by Jewish sources, it seems they naturally would be Pro-Isreali and not unbiased as they should be. The bottom line is that if this country wasnt so supportive of Isreali interests, there wouldn't be nearly as much anti-American sentiment throught the Arab world

mpd , How are you today?I know Reilly is anti-gun but Romney is anti-union and wants to eliminate organized labor. Romney has done nothing for L.E.. I am Republican but if Romney does not take a job with President Bush I will forced to vote for the Democrat. Someone posted earlier about other party's I would look at that option too. I can not re-elect a guy that is trying to take my job and who's actions jeopardize the lives and well being of my colleagues.
This is how the staffing issue was addressed by his administration by putting criminals back on the streets.
"They're looking for job security, and I'm saying we need fewer prison guards and fewer cells, so I'm not surprised that the union is not on board with this," Lt. Gov. Healey said.

Stay safe. JGH
 
It is just to bad that the Libertairian (SP) party
with thier out look on guns and gun ownership
was not stronger I don't agree with all of thier policies but I would be tempted to give them my vote if push comes to shove.
 
Both the state and national elections are scary: it remains to be seen if the republicans can produce reliable conservative candidates. As to the "Jewish question", media may be controlled by those citizens: it's a free country, anyone with the financial backing can be involved or control any enterprise.

That said, my problem with our support of Israel is that they pursued a socialist agenda. We "propped-up" their false economy. This has changed during the last couple of years...their economy is stronger. If they were to revert to their Marxist ways, however, I would favor removing economic support while still providing military support.

Regardless of our support for Israel, the Arabs would still hate us and all we stand for. If Israel ceased to exist tomorrow, the world-wide hatred and envy of the US would be unchanged. :evil:
 
JGH 7223- You are absolutely right about Romney and the union issue. I am formerly a member of the Republican Party, but realized that although I support most of their social positions, they do not represent the "little guy" on economic issues. I worked for George Pataki's first campaign for governor in late 1994, and one of his aides admitted that the Republican Party cannot compete with the Democrats on economic issues, which is why the Republicans always use social issues (gun rights, abortion and religion) in their advertisements. Yes, I like my guns and I attend church every Sunday, but those things are not going to feed my family. I currently work for the Department of Defense, where unfortunately, Bush, Rumsfeld and the belt-way boys are planning to strip away my civil service union rights, starting in July of this year. Those same rules have already been legislated away in the Department of Homeboy Security. I can't help but feel that I have been duped by the party that I have supported for so long.
 
DVET, the whole "we-hate-you-because-you-support-Israel" is a red herring ( :oops: ): they hate us because of our lifestyle, wealth and the fact that we are not muslims. Like I said, if Israel disappeared tomorrow, the arabs would still hate us. ](*,)

FedCop, I remember the wonderful economy that existed when that peanut-picker from the Peach State was president. Double digit inflation and 21% interest...not on credit cards: that was higher...the 21% was on home loans. I consider myself a "little guy" and I did much better when Ronny took over. My union is having trouble getting a contract, due in part to the communists at General Court spending money like crazy back when things were good...oh, look! They are democrats! I think the republicans are better on both the economy and social issues. As for Governor Pataki: he's about as republican as Dick Gebhardt! He is a Bill Weld, without the charisma! Unfortunately, that is the only kind of republican that can win in the Peoples Democratic Republic of New York or Red Massachusetts! :evil:
 
dcs2244-What about the economy of the '90's, I suppose that was just a mirage. How about the economy under Herbert Hoover? Yes, Reagan cut taxes, but he raised them later on in his administration. He had too those "supply-siders" never met a deficit they didn't hike! Where is the conservatism? Where is the outrage?

Funny how we consider the palistines terrorists for trying to get what was theirs back, but the Jews are freedom fighters cause we give them the guns. :roll:
 
Well, STM, the Jews never left the middle east. They have been there since before Mohammad decided it was okay to enslave women and crash stuff into buildings. Death to babies and women...what heroes those Islamic creatures are ( I apologize for the insult to creatures everywhere. :oops: ). The Jews have been there since Moses brought them there. Period. They did not leave.

Sure, we can talk about the "diaspora" which continued with the destruction of the temple in 77 AD...by the Romans (after the 'occupation' by the Babylonians...). It may have been "theirs (Arab or Canaan)" 5000 years ago...but not now. You may as well say the same about the American Indian. The Jews didn't do anything there (after Moses) that we didn't here...condemn them, and condemn us.

There was never a "State of Palestine"...they are a creation of the French and British after the World War, Part One. The "Palestinians" are the "poor-white-trash" of the Muslim world...nobody (Arabic nations) wants them! By the way, Palestine is Roman for Philistine...
 
FedCop, I apologize, I didn't mean to leave you out: the economy of the '90's was due to a republican congress and a democratic president who knew better than to mess with what Reagan wrought...unlike his republican predecessor...the fact that President Clinton left President Reagan's guy in charge of the Fed speaks volumes. Like him or hate him, WJC was the consummate politician. 8)

FedCop,
I am a Republican, a veteran that served with Ronald Reagan as President. I more or less vote for the candidate. I am also a gun owner. As Attorney General Mr. Reilly as a elected official to that office has to do what is in the best interest of the people. Yesterday a kid shoots up a school out west and kills ten people. He did us (gun owners) no favor. As the A.G. Mr. Reilly especially in this liberal state of Massachusetts is forced to do something pertaining to gun control. I am not happy with the restrictions on guns now, but I don't blame Mr. Reilly for his actions. We need a Governor that will back L.E. officers in this Commonwealth and give them the benefits and pay they rightly deserve for the dangerous job they do day to day. Any day you could lose your life. I got to run now stay safe FedCop. JGH
