Just a quick question. Would you be happy under a president of totally different ideology than you if it meant a wildly successful economy in the USA?

For example, me, as a right wing guy, would I accept a president who legalized gay marriage, abortion in all 50 states, open borders forever................but also created a way that the USA's economy exploded with wealth and I became insanely more wealthy and could purchase more and provide more for my family?

Libs.....a right wing war monger president who banned gay marriage, banned abortion, sealed the borders.....but who created an economy that was so fruitful that poverty was nearly erased and you were offered job after high paying job, for double your current salary, basically eliminating any serious financial worries or job security concerns for the rest of your life and your childrens' lives????
 
I would rather be poor, homeless, hungry, cold and wet ..... than oppressed. Way too many variables involved.
 
I don't have the sort of lock-step belief system you describe, bucs, but I am prolly more liberal than conservative...certainly I am socially. To me, your question sounds like "if most people had more/enough, would you accept set backs for certain unpopular groups"?

I'll admit I am fortunate and I don't fear hunger or homelessness, etc., and mebbe if I did my answer would change. But at this time, no. I could not accept progress than was paid for by the suffering of others.

How'd you feel about Clinton? We had prosperity then.
 
Couple of good answers there.

I'm not quite convinced of my answer yet. I place my faith and ability to provide for my family as my #1 priorities, so bending on my beliefs on how society as a whole should function in order to provide better lives for my family is quite tempting.

I liked Clinton. Above all, he was smart enough to cooperate with a Republican congress and played the dot com economic burst brilliantly. My only real gripe with Clinton was he could've handled WTC bombing in 93 better, and he should've taken out Bin Laden when CIA had the chance to do it. Now, of course in fairness, thats in hindsight of what Bin Laden would do later and all, but that was my main gripe with him. And the border, which I've griped about with every president.

I'd vote for Clinton over Bush right now though. And Clinton or Bush over Obama.

A good economy + freedom creates great presidents. Obama was right about something when he said people "cling to their guns and religion" when times are tough. When the economy is great, and people are basically free to live their lives, there isn't that much a prez can do wrong..............except get BJ's from an intern:razz:

I have no doubt you would.
most cons would sell their mothers for a fistful of dollars

in addition, having no morals or ethics, cons would sleep fine at night no matter how many people they tossed into ovens the day before

especially if the pay was good


in your scenario, however you would have to accept a president who;
did NOT ban gay marriage
did NOT round up and exeucte liberals and atheists
did NOT wage war on pot smokers, destroying thousands/millions of lives for nothing

i'm not sure you would really be happy if there was that much freedom and equality in America....

as for me;
nope.
I have morals and ethics
I would NOT be happy with hitler as president.
no matter how much money they offered me.

It depends on the rest of his agenda. China's economy is doing very well but I would never want to be a Chinese citizen.

apparently i don't fit into your matrix....i support gay marriage if the government stays involved in marriage....abortion...i have no solid belief on which is the right way to handle that....and borders, they shouldn't be closed forever, nor should they be open forever, there should however be a gate

i would be not entirely truthful if i said i would not vote for some dude running for president that held beliefs not aligned with me, as long as the economy prospered...with a prosperous economy, a people can change their lives and ultimately, change the hot button issues you're talking about....

At first I hated him.

By the end of the Presidency, I didn't think he was so bad.

By the middle of Bush 43, I wished we could have Clinton back.

How's that for an answer?

Immie

Exactly. While people like Bucs may be willing to give up rights and freedoms for a fruitful economy, others are not so gung-ho about it.
 
Yes. However, I find it unlikely the revolutionaries in power will ever start adopting rational governing principles.

There is no opposite party for me. Both the dems and the reps are the two most corrupt parties in the history of our nation. We need a third party but won't get one as long as people continue to believe that their are only two parties and especially that they are "opposites".

As the English comedian said after retuning from the states "They have two parties over there. They have the democrats, which are a little like our labor party, and then they have the republicans, which are a little like our labor party."

Just ask, "Are you a one issue voter?"

I'm not. And I would not trade freedom for wealth.

Only one problem with what you are saying. You brought up throwing people into ovens? You know, thats only been done by the National SOCIALIST Party???

And the idea for using a humane gas to exterminate unwanted humans? The brainchild of liberal icon George Bernard Shaw.

And you know the Supreme Court justice Ruth Ginsberg, worshipped by the left, proposed using abortion as a means to get rid of "unwanted populations" in America?

Just a reminder before you begin accusing the right of advocating eugenics. Get an education you fu**ing moron.

did bucs ever say that?

link....

No, I didn't. I asked if one would be willing to compromise on some political issues in exchange for a great economy.

If God came down today, and said he would fix the US economy permanently, but we would have to allow our borders to remain open and legalize gay marriage, I'd compromise that.
