Newt personifies the opposite of Christian values ( as I understand them - compassion , love they neighbor etc etc) and deserves his own ring in The Inferno
Perry is a nutcase and it scares me to think his message resonates with anyone
Santorum is a sanctimonious, self-righteous < insert cussword here>, who I would be ashamed to have speak for our country
I have friends who vote democrat because the republicans go veering off on crazy, right-wing agenda items. If the republicans would stick to the important main issues, many more of these conservative democratic voters would swing their way - and they would keep many more of the midwest fiscally conservative folks who swung to Obama in the last election. They have no need to cater to the far-right. Those folks would never vote democrat anyway.
Portland social/political scene is too much for me. I want the basics fixed: broader economic base, better environment for business, better support for education, infrastructire maintenance. Paying for larger bikelane decals just irks me. First things first.
Why don't we have a value added tax - that is a state tax on things other than groceries/food, medicine and clothing?
I do wish there were leaders willing to do the right thing for the most people. I am not a dummy and this stuff just doesn't seem so complicated unless the status-quo, big money is part of the equation.
Are people really so very lazy that if they have the chance to get something like unemployment, they will not look for a job?
Frustrating...
