Think about all the topics covered right here at the Outpost. It's a microcosm of the difference.

Define fiscally conservative.


Im guessing we are going to end up with 'fiscal conservatism' = things paul agrees with.


Looks like you have already ruled out all social programs

Pretty sure we were in hawk to China long before Obamaer got into office... Actually China starting off loading our hawk before Obama even got into office...

lol

Most of them are bullshit feel good topics that have nothing do with where is the money coming from, where is the money going in exchange for what, what kind of risks will we encounter, and fiscally what could we anticipate five years from now. Every important single topic we discuss skirts the main issues along party lines with lots of namecalling if you don't think one way or the other. I enjoy the Outpost a great deal but the bullshit factor is high. If you're saying American politics is based on bullshit then yeah I agree.

Also, the two parties are not the same. But they are more similar than many of us would like.


The "they're exactly teh same!!11" crowd is just as deluded as the true believers who think if we elect an (R) or (D) the world will collapse within 7 days.

Obama is a center right President. The Romney of Massachusetts probably wasn't much to the right of him but that Romney no longer exists.

Now, no Republican candidate is anywhere near the center. The center can't even be seen from where they are. Heck, Reagan and Nixon are way too leftish for any of them to even consider as running mates.

Would I prefer a more liberal person than Obama? Absolutely. Does that mean I think Obama is no different than the Republicans running? Nope.

As to their being no difference between the two parties. Santorum, Gingrich, Romney, Paul. Try as you like to make an argument. None of them are anything like Obama or anything like most Democrats. And, even the most conservative Democrat in Congress is less conservative than the most liberal Republican. And, considering how conservative some of those Democrats are, that's pretty scary.


<edit>





You can't even conceive that your ideology is wrong.

The parties are not the same
I've probably voted for more Republicans and third party candidates than anyone else here. Though, I will say, the Republican Party is so loony tunes now, it has become very difficult finding a sane one to vote for.

So, two huge fails in 16 words. Not bad, but, no where near your best.

So then no. That's what I figured.

I'm guessing you can't come up with an example of something fiscally conservative Obama has done either.

Why don't you move to Canada and live in the woods?
