TomAiello 26 #32 August 20, 2004 QuoteYou talk about supporting personal freedoms, but it's only as long as you're not a homosexual, want an abortion, want to join the ACLU, think that the pledge should return to its original form without "Under God", etc. . . . I'm pretty sure that you misunderstand Kennedy's (and Libertarian's in general) position. Supporting personal freedom includes sexual choice, abortion rights, and yes, even the ACLU, should you wish to join their crusade for civil privileges, and turn your back on civil rights.-- Tom Aiello Tom@SnakeRiverBASE.com SnakeRiverBASE.com Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
TomAiello 26 #33 August 20, 2004 Zell Miller is one of my favorite politicians. Have a read through his National Party No More. It's also worth noting that he's probably the most popular public figure in a six state area, centered right about where you live.-- Tom Aiello Tom@SnakeRiverBASE.com SnakeRiverBASE.com Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
kelel01 1 #34 August 20, 2004 QuoteIt's also worth noting that he's probably the most popular public figure in a six state area, centered right about where you live. I know. He's done wonderful things for our state, particularly when he was governor. But I feel like the other democrats should feel very betrayed by him speaking at RNC in support of Bush.

TomAiello 26 #35 August 20, 2004 Quote... I feel like the other democrats should feel very betrayed by him speaking at RNC in support of Bush. Actually, I think that Zell Miller is one of the few modern politicians with the stature to transcend party lines. One of the things I like about American politics is how much more focused on the individual (rather than the party) it is, when compared to politics in most other places. I'm glad that American politicians can sometimes cross party lines--I wish it happened more often.-- Tom Aiello Tom@SnakeRiverBASE.com SnakeRiverBASE.com Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I'm glad that American politicians can sometimes cross party lines--I wish it happened more often. I guess I've never noticed it. I like the idea, but it's not something I see a lot of. But I also have nothing to compare it to, seeing as how I know absolutely zip about any other country's politics. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
billvon 3,131 #37 August 20, 2004 >I'm glad that American politicians can sometimes cross party lines--I wish >it happened more often. Agreed. I'm glad Miller is speaking at the RNC - we need more of that. I was disappointed when Jeffords was attacked so much for changing his party affiliation; in an ideal world, a politician should be voted for (and held accountable for) his decisions and his views rather than which party he belongs to.

I must say, though, that the sugar version is way better. Can't get that in the East anywhere that I know of, though. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
