OT: Top U.S. Conservatives and Liberals

[Guest guest]

Howdy Virginia,

 

Hi Butch,

> party. Therefore people here can be Liberal supporters, or small " l "

> liberals - which means they probably never vote for the Liberal party.

I reckon that maybe terms like " Liberal " or " Progressive " .. and

" Conservative " .. are sorta like " East " and " West " in that they are all

relative to where one is at right now and whether they want to move forward

or save the status quo .. or move to the East or West to get to the same

location. ;-)

 

A Liberal in Turkey is most likely to be a Nationalist whereas a

Conservative is likely to be an Islamic. Here in Paris, Tennessee folks

are Conservative as all get out but they are historically Democrats. Most

of them will never vote for what Americans consider to be Liberal or

Progressive candidates .. that still puzzles me. ;-)

 

> We have a Federal election coming up shortly, and I will be glad when

> it is over lol

We got one coming up too and most of us will be glad when its over. ;-)

 

We have a fairly good handle on who will probably be the Democratic nominee

and a fair handle on who will be the Republican nominee, but there is still

a lotta time left for either party to screw up worse than they have already

... plus there are world events going down daily that can swing votes based

on the proper or improper handling of them by the current administration.

One such event is the scenario on the Northern Iraq border .. Turkish Armed

Forces wanting to go in to deal with the Terrorist PKK .. but the most

important recent event is one that some might easily overlook the importance

of .. current events in Pakistan .. they are potentially more serious

than some folks realize and they have the potential to have a great impact

on the outcome of the US Presidential elections.
