1. Yeah, I got it. Gay citizens of the USA can freely date one another like straight couples, but they can't marry, unlike what the constitution claims 2. Michigan can kiss my black ass. So can most of the Deep South and the Northwest of America
:roll: I'll have to agree with you there SG because eventhough the A-T-L is fairly progressive in my veiw the rest of the state just got even more Republican AND more REDNECKISH with the GOP sweeping the top 3 spots :!: But I'll gladly trade that for what happened in the House & in the Senate. :wink: PS> Plus we have a black governor as well too :!:
Now i agreed with you, until that highlighted part. I can't speak for everybody but the Northwest, if not the most progressive, liberal regions of America, certainly is among the top. Virtually all of the states there i.e Washington, Minnesota to name a few have Democrats in the statewide positions and are ultra-liberal. Kerry got some of his strongest supporters from there. Hey, i ain't saying there is no racism there and all, but it's not as bad as the South or California. Interracial dating is on the high in Seattle, arguably the most progressive city in America.
Lets hope the appeal comes through and not let the likes of Ward Connelly to win on others in the US.
It's people like him that make me hate conservatives even more and i'm neither liberal nor conservative.
I thought you were conservative at first. I guess those damn republicans finally got to you, and made you change your mind. :lol: I kinda saw it comin'. I am also moderate; always have been, and always will be.
Well the thing is, my father, much to my annoyance, was and is probably still a Reagan Democrat; he told me he voted for Jimmy Carter in '76 but voted for Reagan in 1980 and 1984. He met him a few times too :roll: Anyway, he influenced me a lot whilst growing up and whilst he was a huge supporter of Clinton in the '90s, he was often very critical of many of his liberal approaches and so my father's political views influenced mine. So, for a while, i have to admit i was a conservative. Not an ultra-conservative in the mold of Sowell, Williams, Keyes and the rest but kinda like Colin Powell. I briefly toyed with ultra-conservatism but saw that it was not my thing; at all. But my support for Republican candidates finally ended, i would say this year. I dislike Dumbya and everything he stands for but i voted for his brother in 2002 when he sought re-election against Janet Reno. But with the mess the GOP has made in Iraq, their lack of sexual restraint and their race-baiting tactics, which i was unaware of for a very long time, i am no more a supporter of conservative Republicans. I am by no means on the far left but i am not on the far right either. I think i'd kind of consider myself a centrist; i do not vote for parties but i vote for candidates. In my family, we're kinda scattered on the political spectrums. My father claims to hold centrist views but voted for Reagan twice and Bush Sr in 1988. My mother tends to vote Republican candidates. Amongst my siblings though, i'm the only one who has ever voted for any Republican candidate in any race. When i finally decided to vote last week, i voted for Bill Nelson over Katherine Harris even though i do not typically vote for candidates who have a lot of far-left ideologies. I am now more of a centrist and would probably stay that way for a long time.
