First of all, don't worry about it, it's cool. Some of the best friends I've ever had are people I either got off on the wrong foot with, or completely misjudged at first. I'm James, I'm an electrician, I have a family, 9 cars and a cat. What's up?
Don't think for one minute that I am uninformed. But I do disagree with you on pretty much everything you said. First of all, gwb did not destroy this country. Things are as messed up as they are because of the democrats in the house and senate. They have excelled at one thing: blaming everything on George Bush. Having said that, I'm no George bush fan. He's done nothing to improve his image nor the image of Republicans in general, and therefore helped to lose us this election.
I do agree with you on the racism thing. SHow me a conservative republican, pro-life, pro capitalism, charismatic, smart black man, and I will gladly and excitedly vote for him. You can say this is ignorant if you wish, but I do believe that some of his associations and previous actions with organizations like acorn are very suspicious and seriously got played down.
You aren't going to convince me to like socialism. In short, other countries have a harder time getting healthcare, and our government can't do much of a good job at anything, so why would we hand that over to the government? I don't agree with labeling corporations as greedy. Not that I think they should be set loose to do as they please, but they should be allowed to make a profit, and should not be punished for it. Just as you should not be punished for making more money.
The every man for himself mentality that you think this country has has made this the most charitable country on the face of the planet. Start raising taxes and socializing everything and what do you think will be the first thing to go?
As far as me being a republican, in some ways I almost take that as an insult. I'm a conservative. Republicans, as far as I am concerned have failed us. time and time again. If they can't get their act together and get back to their roots and get on message and work as hard as the democrats do, then this country is going to stay in the ****ter. They have a cause worth fighting for and all they can do is sit on their asses and give us old fart presidential candidates.
Sorry, I really could have done better with that, but I have a lot of work to do on my S13 coupe, and I'm generally just in a bad mood today. thanks for reading it...
