POLL: The GOP and "Socialism"

How long before the Right realizes the term "socialism" no longer scares people?


  • Total voters
    50
You mean Harry Browne who ran in 1996 and 2000. Who is Harold Brown?

Here's the Libertarian Party position in 1980 on the military: "We recognize the necessity for maintaining a sufficient military force to defend the United States against aggression."

Again, being selective... They also wanted to withdraw from NATO and cut military spending... they were a joke then, they are a joke now.

Exactly, this is the stupid extreme that you are. To want to reduce the military is to want to eliminate it. You're just not very smart

That and that you don't know what Libertarians think either

Libertarians don't think. They're fucking morons who enjoy civilization and don't want to do the heavy lifting to maintain it.

We've been over this.

No shit, I keep telling you that you don't know what libertarians or Republicans think. I like how you say you don't know what libertarians or Republicans think back to me as if you're making a point

No, reducing the military at a time when we were in the height of the Cold War facing Soviet Aggression all over the world was beyond fucking retarded. This is why Republicans at the time thought Libertarians were a joke.

Until they got co-opted by them.

No shit, I keep telling you that you don't know what libertarians or Republicans think. I like how you say you don't know what libertarians or Republicans think back to me as if you're making a point

Again, I would love the REpublicans of the 1980's- Fiscal responsibility, strong on national defense.... We don't have those Republicans anymore... because the Libertardian Loons have taken over.

Unlike most of your flights of fancy, this one is actually a pleasant thought. It's utter nonsense, of course, but it would be nice.

Gotcha. Republicans were fiscally responsible until the libertarians took over and started spending. And I said you didn't know what Republicans or libertarians think. Nailed it!

Yeah, whatever buddy... here was the thing. When Ike and Nixon ran the GOP, you didn't have huge deficits like we have now... The whole crazy Let's cut taxes on rich people thing all came from your boys like the Kochsuckers and Grover Norquist "Make government small enough to drown in a bathtub".

You know nothing about economics. That really should be a core course in high school. It would destroy the Democrat party

Guy, I know economics to know what works.

We did it the Democrats way, and got 30 years of prosperity between 1940 and 1970.

We did it the Republicans way, and have gotten FOUR recessions, huge deficits, and dangerous levels of wealth inequality.

You don't know economics or history
 
The struggle for existence almost invariably will be most severe between the individuals of the same species, for they frequent the same districts require the same food, and are exposed to the same dangers.

Again, I know this history.

9 of the last 10 recessions happened when Republicans were in charge.

It's not a bug, it's a design feature.

First that's another Fake News lie. And second, it doesn't matter who is president during a recession, it depends on who is President before a recession. You get that lie by combining them. For example, here's how you counted W.

2001

President before recession: Clinton
President during recession: W

You count it as W

2008

President before recession: W
President during recession: Obama

You count it as W

Country was in full recession in 2008, not 2009. In fact, it came out of "Recession" (which is technically defined as 2 or more quarters of negative GDP Growth) in 2009, after Obama took measures.

For 2001, um, yeah, Bush gets that one as well, as the recession didn't break out until he became president. Might not had been so bad had he not ignored the CIA when they told him Bin Laden was about to attack.

But again, recessions are a design feature of Republican Governance. Long term economic growth means eventually, the One Percenters have to start sharing some of that money to get top talent.

And the One Percenters just hate sharing the wealth...

It's pretty funny how you think admitting you have a double standard means you think somehow that contradicts your having a double standard.
 
It's pretty funny how you think admitting you have a double standard means you think somehow that contradicts your having a double standard.

Pretty funny how you can have cause and effect explained to you and still not understand it.

It was faux cause and effect:

Joe: W created the recession, Obama was just President during the recession

Joe: It doesn't matter that as soon as W took office the country went into recession, it is on W.

There is no "cause and effect" there, Joe. Just more of your leftist lies.

The correct answer BTW is that W, Clinton and Obama were all responsible for recession economies because they all suck and they all had the same policies. Of course the economy struggles when tax and spend socialists like HW, Clinton, W and Obama are in office

Are you suggesting that "tax-and-spend" is worse than "not-tax-and-spend-anyway"?
