1) Socialism is against U.S interests? If Romney gets elected, someone might want to tell him to bomb Europe, a chunk of South America, among others. 2) The CIA coup failed? What history book have you been reading? :lol: I'm seriously beginning to believe you're a liberal posing as a...

At least you admit that the U.S behaves like an empire. What you fail to understand is that most of our enemies today were motivated by previous unnecessary interventions on our part. Iran may very well be a stable ally today, had we not decided to overthrow Mohammed Mossadeq, and turn the...

Can you Republicans make up your minds already? Of the major parties, you claim to be the one that wants less taxes. Shouldn't you want to do away with the income tax altogether?

Ugh, I could actually see Palin doing something stupid like this. She would personally hope that she doesn't win, but simply by running she'll keep herself in the media spotlight, and able to cash her publicity in on another book deal.

This is assuming if Obama is re-elected... My money is on Chris Christie. The GOP establishment and the media both showed overwhelming support in their push for him to declare a presidential run, despite his insistence that he was not interested. I think he'll throw his hat into the ring in...

Polls, schmolls. If it's announced that Johnson and/or Stein are allowed to share the debate stage with Obomney, THAT will be worth starting a thread for.

Wouldn't surprise me... no matter who's president or which party controls Congress, our government seems to have a real itch for jumping into military conflicts. We'll even set it up so that we look like the victim/defender rather than the aggressor, because the U.S can never be the bad guy...

One of the most parroted myths of the left. Leading up to the burst of the housing bubble, the government had its hands all over that market. Add in GM and the massive corporate welfare bailouts that came at taxpayer expense... doesn't sound very free-market to me. In a real free-market...

Liberty-preserving? You mean liberty to pick up a hooker on the street, liberty to smoke what I want in my own home, liberty to choose whether or not I'll buy health insurance, liberty to have my vote count even if it goes against the interests of the political establishment... those liberties...

So how does the Constitution currently protect us from the tyranny of the Democratic and Republican parties? Right now it is the powers of those parties that are protected by a combination of the Electoral College, along with lack of restrictions on campaign financing.

It lacks two huge flaws that our current system has: 1) Overemphasis on swing states: if you're in a solid red or blue state, why bother voting? 2) Preventing third party/independent challengers. Ross Perot got 20% of the popular vote in 92, but 0 electoral votes. That kind of result...

RP's followers don't share the same priority as you because they don't see much difference between Romney and Obama, and they're absolutely right. What you should be more concerned about is the fact that the leaders of the GOP have demonstrated their willingness to silence voices within the...

I'm referring to the people selecting the candidates, not the candidates themselves. The Republican primaries (and to a lesser extent, the Democratic ones as well) have become a repeated process that goes something like this: Establishment: Vote for Romney, he's your guy! Voter: I don't...

You're right, and the party is making it increasingly obvious that their candidates are selected by wealthy backers of the establishment instead of common peasant voters such as ourselves. Between this and the multiple state primary "mishaps" that coincidentally all benefited Romney, these...

If the "conservative" states were to form their own country, it would be a theocracy with an even wider gap between rich and poor compared to what we have now. The new liberal country would likely be an inefficient socialist state, abundent with useless regulations and red tape, but it would...
