I never seem to see a Liberal offering a positive message about anything. Seems they almost always offer negative comments about what is wrong with everything.

Liberals are generally the "discontent class" I was a democrat right up until a few years ago. My parents are politicians, both democrats. I think my father is a Republican inside, he just won't admit it.
I am extremely active in politics. I was on Al Gore's steering committee. I left the democratic party because I got sick of the crap. Listening to them, you'd think this was just a horrible place to live.
Kerry calling for a "regime change" the other day just made me sick.

That was such a "positive" post. Nothing negative there. :rolleyes:
BTW, I get it you must be a liberal! Rarely seen a positive post by you...ever.

Is there a positive way for one to ask that question?
or make that observation rather

My god... what's with all the tears lately?

Awww....
Buck up, soldiers!
I take it you were in a cocoon during Clinton's presidency? ;)
You think this is negative? You have no idea what you missed. Punt this back up in a couple of years...

Only when a Republican is in office.;)

Liberal is a synonym of generous.
Conservative is a synonym for reserved.
As to which one is negative, well that's in the eye of the beholder .
Negative does not necesarily mean bad.
I believe if you avoid buzzwords and metaphor you can convey your message clearly and succinctly .

Liberals are very positive and happy people when they are spending your money for you in the way they know is best.
They are negative and unhappy when they are unable to spend your money for you and they know you are just wasting it.
Conservatives are just happy when somebody is spending money, preferably lots of it. They're very unhappy when there isn't lots of money getting spent by someone.
-
could you point out what there is since the current american regime to be happy about?
-
Not sure if I'm quoting this right, and I don't know who said it, but here goes:
"If a man is 100ft out in the water from a beach and is drowning, a conservitive would throw him 50ft of rope and tell the guy to swim the rest of the 50ft. A Liberal would toss him 100 ft of rope, but then leave to go perform the next good deed."

No, LDV, I can't.
You see, all is lost and these are the "Final Days". ( I have it on pretty good authority the Sun is about to nova but Ashcroft is keeping it secret.) SARS is actually a US bio-weapon that we surreptitiously tried in China but it has now escaped the testing protocol and the entire world will die from it within the next fortnight. (of course, the Bush controlled CDC can't tell you this.) CIA reports there is actually no oil left anywhere in the world, but they are keeping that secret too; Tenet used to work for Halliburton and he's under administration mind control. What's currently on the high seas is it. There's no food being grown anywhere either, and that's because Bush was elected and the farmer's refused to plant in protest of the Florida vote count.
So, you see........ all is lost. Proof is in the fact that sucicide threads are popping up in the O-Club.
At long last, finally....... YOU are right! EVERYTHING IS BAD and there's nothing left to live for............
Cya. :D

Once all the people are gone then we will have a happy planet.

WTG Kerry!

hehe, good one Toad. You forgot to mention that the French don't like us anymore. Since the world is ending tomorrow I better finish off that bottle of Talisker tonight. ;)

AKIron, don't panic- the world won't end until two minutes after I win the California Lottery. God told me that in a dream. He said He was looking forward to the look of disappointment on my face as I realize I won't be able to spend my lottery winnings. God hates me- I think He's a MAW.

Go do your google search to find out who Kerry is. You'll hop on any bandwagon, you don't even need to understand it.
-
Regime change is what the Dems are counting on in '04....the fact that some are drawing parallels to the regime change that is needed in Iraq is unfortunate at best.
Mr. Kerry's comment, although ill timed and easily taken out of context, does reflect the Dems goal very clearly....one that I agree with whole heartedly.

There you go again, babbling utter nonsense. I'm glad Kerry made you sick, I really am!

But Erlkonig, I bet he thinks he's smarter than you too. :D
Oh... and to answer the first question... are liberals always negative? The answer is "No." :D
-
Was thinking exactly the same answer sandman.
Nope, not never!

Liberals are negative when the Conservatives control Washington... nothing is being done right and everythings a mess.

Politics is pretty simple, see? "You need to run against Congress to run for Congress."

Soialist parties have a tendency to play the 'we help the poor, we're the righteous' card - and part of playing this card is negative reinforcement. That is pointing out flaws, whether they exist or not.
Of course, libertarians can take it to the other extreme, talking about all the great opportunities and chances of earning a good life. The truth is somewhere in between.
Here, the social democrats are the whiniest bunch but all parties use the 'this is wrong' argument. It's just politics - show the others create a problem and show that you will fix it. And introduce new problems the other party promptly will offer to fix It's in essence a recursive function without a stop case if you will.
From what I've learned from studying American politics, the Democrats are closer to ground, taking a more direct hands on pragmatic attitude but in doing so comes off as the 'whiners'. The republicans throw big words like freedom and whatnot around but don't always live what they preach and may come off not as helpers of the poor but hirelings of the rich
Ths stereotyping is obviously utterly false, and reps come off as whiners on some issues, and dems as idealistic big word fools on others
I understand the American fascination with being able to quantify and label everything - it's part of the Amerian psyhe, that there is an easily recognizable order - but I do not think it is appropriate in all situations

Suave: Liberal is a synonym of generous.
With other people's money. :)

What he said, but replace Liberals and Conservatives with Democrats and Republicans. We don't really have a conservative party in the US. Just two socialist parties. Democrat leaders like FDR or Truman would be considered reactionary fascists by today's lefties.
