If there were more republicans like you i wouldn't be so anti-republican.... like i said we dont have 'crats, and 'licans over here in australia, we have labour and liberal, who are essentially the same thing. My point is i dont get alot of exposure to american politics first hand, but what i do see and what i have deduced from what i see, is republicans are genrally greedy and selfish (and to a lesser extent christian fundametalists)...
But you junglejake are truly a liberal in conservative clothes... but dont take offense to that, i know for some reason 'liberal' is seen as a dirty word by many conservatives...
I am happy to be taxed for welfae (or the dole as we call it) and pay charity, why cant everyone be so generous?

Well, first off, thanks.
But what you have to remember, you're getting media coverage and ATS posts. The media broadcasts that which will get the best ratings: Whatever makes someone or something look as bad as possible. And as for ATS, first off, we're an extreme group. This is a political discussion on a conspiracy website where many people believe Reptoids have already conquored the earth. In my personal life, I talk with many people. The protrayal of the democrat and the republican on the news, and here for that matter, is way off. Most people are moderates, we just hear about the extreamists.
Speaking of which , I'm called an extreamist by my family...Some mean it as complementary, other not. But now think about what you just wrote to me: I'm a liberal in conservative clothing, yet I'm an extreamist here, according to Joe Everybody. You're not getting the full story unless you're talking to Joe E. on the street. You're not going to find out what the American people think through polls, because only the extreamists (lol such as myself) feel strongly enough to be willing to put aside the 15 minutes to take the poll. The average american, be they conservative or liberal, is not represented by anyone in this country... I'm glad I'm represented.
