you said the two party choice was no choice at all. i pointed out some of the differences. and, everything i said is applicable to the candidates. yes, you can point out similarities. sometimes significant. but their proposals will be different enough.
the social side is night and day. and the domestic investment side. yes, you'll say wiretapping. or gitmo. (i wouldn't quite say the wars, because i think obama was slower than he promised, but we did wind down combat operations in iraq, which i don't think would've gone the same way with president mccain. however, i never said they were 180 degree opposites. just that there's significant differences.
there's still plenty of reasons to dislike both. just not always the same reason...
At the end of the day both parties at the federal level vote to do the same thing ... whatever the republicans want. :PLast edited by Dr. Love; 06-24-2012, 01:17 PM.Comment

there's a pretty stark difference between the parties at this point.
it doesn't mean they don't have effectively similar positions on a number of things.
but there are a fairly large gap on a lot of issues. health care. funding education or transportation or the social safety net. environmental protections. women's issues. how to best to get the budget under control.
it doesn't mean that either of the 2 parties should appeal to anybody. i certainly get frustrated by both at times. but they're not the same...
Both parties want to control us by taking our money, not giving us any say in what they do, they want to shut us up, and say they own everything and we are to do what we are told. This is where they are the same. How they sell themselves to the public with their lies is what differs.No! You can't have the keys to the wine cellar!Comment

Transportation should be a state issue?
I think you and I both know that if Eisenhower had left the Interstate Highway system up to "the states", there probably wouldn't be one. Except for maybe I-5 on the West Coast. And maybe I-95 on the East Coast. Which would probably start at the Canadian border in Maine, and end at the Virginia state line.
And even the US highway system which preceded it wouldn't have existed. No Highway 99 in the west. No Route 66, for fucks sake!
Well if you ever plan to motor west..... fuck it, you can't get there from here, because us red state asshat governors don't believe in funding roads that lead to librul sodomite California!

Or when the idiot who occupied the White House because of that decision decided he would declare war on someone who "tried to kill my daddy" (which, in reality he didn't), depsite the very clear language in the Constitution that spells out that only Congress can declare war.
Or when 4 of those same Supreme Court flunkies, and the extremely unqualified corporatist Opie looking shill (who replaced the pill popping dead racist Rehnquist) declared that corporations were "people" and that money was "speech" (Shittyzens United)Eat Us And Smile

We can thank Adolf Hitler for the interstate highway system. Eisenhower just made a cheap copy of the Autobahn. Like the internet it was built for military purposes, the public just get to enjoy the use of it.No! You can't have the keys to the wine cellar!Comment

I don't remember you objecting when the 5 BCE appointees on the Federal Supreme Court decided that Florida didn't have the right to count ballots (December 12,2000).

If Adolf had stopped after the Autobahn and the Volkswagen, he might have been remembered as one of the greatest innovators of the 20th Century. Unfortunately he had to throw in that whole "let's execute 12 million people in concentration camps and try to invade the whole fucking planet" thing.Eat Us And Smile

So lets just call the legal part of marriage a civil union and then people can add whatever else they want to it. That's what the Mormons do. If a church decides they don't want gay marriage then fine. But legally we could have civil unions to cover the whole custody, visitation rights, and who gets what crap.No!
