If you have seen the recent TV ads put-out by the <ahem>Democratic Party, hasn't it become obvious that the Liberal Dem's have truly become the party of the fearful and ignorant segment of the population?
Pathetic.....

And this is news?
The Democrats are an entertaining bunch to watch. Especially Daschle....insists that Bush should work with HIM and not vice versa. And only New York would elect someone like Hilary to the Senate, and Massachussets a Kennedy....ole Ed will live forever, he's drank enough to not need any kind of embalming you know (http://bbs.hitechcreations.com/smf/Smileys/default/smile.gif) Dont ask the Cape Coder's about his little accident a few years back. Man drives off a bridge, leaves a woman to die and leaves the scene for 10 hours. Whops.
Yup, Democrats want you to think that everyone is "owed" something from the government and my goodness, its not fair your neighbors make more than you, so we should tax them more...hell, they can afford it, right?
The party "off the children" didnt do them any favors while in power for 8 years. I found it HUGELY entertaining for Gore to say the country was in such sad shape during his campaign...yes, we agree, thanks for Mr Internet and his buddy running the country!
Oh my, but I've begun to rant...must stop...don't wanna use up all my good material.

I find it funny that 95% of everyone here always rants on about Democrats, yet over 50% of the american population voted for them.
-
There's a few very vocal republicans here. or rather, this particular interest (WWII sims) is heavily tilted towards the gun toting war mongering no mercy republicans (http://bbs.hitechcreations.com/smf/Smileys/default/biggrin.gif).
The AH American part of the community isn't an accurate reflection of the relationship between the two particular parties, nor is it representative of the views of the American population in general. It's very good for one thing though, and that's learning more about the republican side, which is a good thing.
Oh, we learn about the democrats too. I never thought Satan walked on earth; I'm an atheist. But the republicans have almost convinced me that he does work on earth, through his minions the democrats.

So you've switched your support to the Democrats cabby? (http://bbs.hitechcreations.com/smf/Smileys/default/smile.gif)

The American component of the Aces high player base is overwhelmingly comprised of reasonably well-off, professional males between the ages of 25 and 50, and this segment of the population is OVERWHELMINGLY Republican.
-
Torgo - I'd like to see this demographical study of the AH player base you are describing.
Please post it here, if you want.

Loyalist 50% of the American people voted so Gore got 50% of that which is only 25%.
So it should be Democrats got 25% of the American vote.
(I know my numbers aren't 100% right but you get the point)

Yep, we have jobs and most believe in God. What a concept!
Yes the ads are very lame and show just how desperate the dumocrats are getting. The problem is, as someone pointed out, 50% of the American population is as dumb as a rock and thus can't see through the blatant smear tactic.
As pointed out, if arsenic in the drinking water was so darn dangerous why did slick willie wait until his last 24 hours in hours to pass the dang stipulation? Cause he knew Bush would repeal and they could try to smear him...
so much for working together. It’s the educated (read Republicans), vs. the handsomehunk (read democrats)..

Actually not only waited 7 years, 11 months and someodd days, but it would not have started going into effect until 2006 either.

Eagler, can you say.."Brainwashed"?

I agree, Loyalist. Add "brainwashed" to the list of Liberal Democrat "qualities".....

I was actually talking about fundementalist republicans, Cabby. (http://bbs.hitechcreations.com/smf/Smileys/default/biggrin.gif)
Elitism.

Its funny how some guys think, that their believe in god is something special and notable when it comes to trusting their words or comparing their reputation.
I look believing of gods as a weakness, since that makes the invidual less independent in his views and less tolerant to mass-psychosis. The most terrifying and disturbing things on earth has been made in the name of god. I just cant look that as it could happen only in the past.
-
The problem isn't believing in God. It is allowing others to tell you what to believe and how to apply those beliefs in your life.
To label Democrats as people who don't believe in God is wrong. Republicans just tend to believe in the Church and side with fundemental Christians.
Buddhists, Islamics, Christians and Jews all believe in God, who is to say one is more right than the other? The Church? I doubt it.

For starters, 100% of people here can read and write...
Second, most people here are working professionals - smart, educated and hardworking.
I could go on...

That is incorrect. It should read:
Fundemental Christians just tend to believe in Republicans. The demorcrats do nothing to promote moralty in the United states.
In essence, the Cristians, picking from the two evils (as I like to put it) have no choice but to join the republicans, what does the democrats have to offer the Christians?
-
The sad thing that people can't see, or don't want to see, that there is religious segragation. Unfortuantely this should be an oxymoron but in today's society they go hand in hand.
How many republicans here actually support Bush drilling for oil in protected enviornmental areas in Alaska?
Republicans, IMHO, protrait themselves as Elitest and close minded. Whether or not they are is another question.
-
Heres some trivia for you. Add up all the personal wealth of both the House and Senate. Who has more personal wealth, the Dems or Repubs?
The Democrats. Elitism.

Fd-ski, morality is about learning how to live and let live, without interfering with one anothers lives and learning to love one another....something *some* New Yorkers haven't had since the turn of the century, so your statement is VERY understandable.

Heh, the only reason the Fed.

Gotta love the way being a liberal, or democrat, or both immediately places you into the "stupid" catagory in this country. Or on this board, anyway. Besides, it doesn't explain why Dubya is a Republican (http://bbs.hitechcreations.com/smf/Smileys/default/wink.gif).
Ya know, I think both parties have much the same problem with the other. The problem is that they don't agree. Oh no!
But you know what bothers me most? The way Republicans and other conservatives think that they have cornered the market on morality and rightness. Which they then decide needs to be shoved down our throats with policies like, say, pushing to make abortion illegal in the US. No, I'm not trying to start a pro-life/pro-choice argument. Just giving an example of what bugs me.
Guess what? We don't need to be corrected guys! I don't need to know (and don't care, honestly) how wrong you think I am, because you sure as hell aren't going to change my opinion, especially by being obnoxious and self-righteous. It's not a matter of you being right and me being wrong, or vice-versa. You can't simply say "You're wrong" and be correct, because I think I'm right! We simply have different ideas of where the country should go.
Oh, and by the way... some of my best friends are republican, including my girlfriend. Surprise surprise! They're damn smart people, and they respect my intelligence as well. We don't need to condemn each other's personalities and intelligence because of differing political perspectives, as some on this board (*cough*) seem to find necessary.

Bzzzt wrong.
Morality is a word used by some people as an excuse to force other people into living by their set of values.
As for New York, i don't live there and i hate it with passion. One has nothing to do with the other.
If being immoral means that you don't take any toejam form anyone though, get ready to crucify me (http://bbs.hitechcreations.com/smf/Smileys/default/smile.gif)
As i said before. I hope you enjoy your "morality". I want none of it.

Well, if you take that as being a standard set of values, I agree. We're all different. What my interpretation of morals is this:
If one acts recklessly, endangers others lives by foolish acts, raises a kid by beating them endlessly, abuses substances,lies, pretends to be 'a tough guy' all the time by 'not taking toejam from nobody'...then I highly suggest these kinds of people don't have children for the sake of the rest of us. Those kind of morals are not likely to be a positive influence on anyone. (http://bbs.hitechcreations.com/smf/Smileys/default/smile.gif)
I believe a good set of 'morals' is one that a person treats others as they expect to be treated. Pretty simple standard set of morals for me. (http://bbs.hitechcreations.com/smf/Smileys/default/smile.gif)

I can live with that (http://bbs.hitechcreations.com/smf/Smileys/default/smile.gif).
