That’s funny MW, for a moment there I thought you were talking about the Republican party. Where exactly do the two parties differ? Oh yes, One party is in the NRA lobbyists pockets. Other than that! It seems the Republican party is perfectly content in running the American peoples lives. Hell! I bet the government knows what you had for breakfast, if that isn’t control I don’t know what the hell is!

I don’t want the Republican nanny state peeking in to every aspect of my life.- ORob

Original Rob,
I understand perfectly. You would prefer a Democratic nanny state telling you what to eat, drink, smoke, what kind of guns you can own (or not), what kind of businesses you can run, how much money it is right for you to make (or not) or keep (or not), what you can do and not do on your land, what kind of car you should own specifying mileage horsepower etc, what kind of school you should send your kids to, because, you know – Democratic nanny’s know better.

My choice? I don’t particularly care for any flavor of “nanny state”

That is the false choice presented by partisan politics. Chooses civil freedoms or economic freedoms, as if they are different. They are not.

The choice in 2008 is not between a Republican administration and a Democratic administration.

The choice in in 2008 is:

A) Democratic president with a larger Democratic majority in the House and a larger Democratic majority in the Senate (possibly a 60 vote plurality)

– or –

B) Republican president with a larger Democratic majority in the House and a larger Democratic majority in the Senate (possibly a 60 vote plurality)

The way to minimize damage to freedom, whether personal, civil, or economic, is to not let either party have both the executive and legislature. that makes B the right choice for 2008.

Pretty simple really. If don’t like any nanny states, that’s your answer.

If, on the other hand, you prefer Democratic (like Jeremy and Rob) or Republican flavors of nanny states, vote your partisan heart.

Let’s not kid ourselves. A single party Democratic government in 2009 will be every bit as bad as the single party Republican government of the last six years.

Do you really believe that??? I don’t know about you, but I don’t want the Republican nanny state peeking in to every aspect of my life. I want the sissies out of the white house; no there aren’t boogy men under every bed.

Yeah, of course! Sounds totally logical to me. We have a Republican administration robbing America of its essence “civil liberties” and engaging in one of the most corrupt and unjust wars in American history, yet, it’s only logical to vote that same party into power again, because, umm, keeping government out of “Power Play” (hockey terminology).

Nevermind that this Republican led government is spending American taxpayer dollars like we haven’t seen since Vietnam, all under the theme of “less government” and more “accountability.” I don’t suppose you remember the Katrina disaster do you MW? Or how about this Republican administrations creation of one of the biggest most pathetically inefficient government agencies in American history the “Department of Homeland Security?”

You’re trying to tell me that if we elect another Republican administration (which would be obviously rewarding them for their dismal tenure for the last 6 years) that they are going to enact their actual party-line ethos, they promise, no really! they are going to be good this time. Please! this is the stupidest f’ing thing I’ve ever heard in my life. “Let’s keep the government divided because it puts a “responsibility’ cap on spending” Oh yeah??? Well the government is more divided than it was during the Clinton years and the spending of this president is absolutely deplorable, yet you want to tell me we need another Republican Admin. because a divided government is a
well regulated government. Whatever!!
