I've met with Labrador and liked him a lot; he made a lot of sense as I asked him some "gotcha"-type questions. There will be some things for the snarky blogger to attack him on -- the 17th Amendment and his support for "sound money" for starters, but Ward offers a lot more in humorous incompetence. (Just last night, he said in the debate that he thought Puerto Rico was a foreign country.)Bubbleheadhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/01591543892553982845noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7545829112289555883.post-8824553825355908752010-05-19T17:02:59.990-07:002010-05-19T17:02:59.990-07:00That whole 'contract with America' con job...That whole 'contract with America' con job reminds me why I don't like to vote for 'Rino' republicans. Newt and the party met behind closed doors to make sure they had enough no votes to make sure the planks of the contract did not pass congress. I just vote against all incumbents and want term limits in all states.<br><br>It's kind of like the blue dogs, they trade votes because some of the Rino's know their state will hold them accountable, so they go find another republican to vote opposite for them who is not up for re-election.<br><br>Also, incremental-ism is not working for conservatism; the republican party is incrementally going left and towards big government my whole lifetime.Luxsithttp://www.blogger.com/profile/13951246455790695492noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7545829112289555883.post-58366722820081576482010-05-22T20:32:41.809-07:002010-05-22T20:32:41.809-07:00Actually, much of the Contract With America passed...Actually, much of the Contract With America passed the House, some of it passed into law, and some was vetoed by President Clinton.Claytonhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/03258083387204776812noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7545829112289555883.post-50923200467266447142010-05-24T05:00:49.822-07:002010-05-24T05:00:49.822-07:00Actually, go read the wiki article on contract wit...Actually, go read the wiki article on contract with America, it's not a great source but not all wrong either. It was a joke. and like I said even if we vote a majority of republicans in office they won't stand up for the principles they run on. No significant plank of contract of America was passed by the senate when the republicans were in majority. Furthermore, the party did not hold any of the congressmen responsible for their vote. Like running alternative real conservatives.<br><br>I know almost every democrat misrepresents their views. It's just difficult to find the one in five republicans that are actually honest. <br><br>Only way to fix this country is keep voting democrat until it gets bad enough for the people to wake up.Luxsithttp://www.blogger.com/profile/13951246455790695492noreply@blogger.com
