This is what I've been saying forever now, especially to those who wonder how I could go from Libertarian to Democrat.
It's better to be "Tax and Spend" than just "Spend". |
I'd like to take this moment to thank neo-cons for throwing people like us out on our political asses, steven.
Every four years, we get to choose between a douche and turd sandwich. Yay.

The political climate in this country would be a lot healthier if we had something along the lines of:
Democrats vs. Classic Conservatives
Democrats vs. Libertarians
or Libertarians/Libertarian-Influenced Democrats vs. any of the above.
Neocons have just thrown everything out of wack and left many classical conservatives and libertarians out in the cold. Even the Democrats are fiscally responsible in comparison.
We had two bags of grass, seventy-five pellets of mescaline, five sheets of high-powered blotter acid, a salt shaker half full of cocaine, a whole galaxy of multi-colored uppers, downers, screamers, laughers…Also a quart of tequila, a quart of rum, a case of beer, a pint of raw ether and two dozen amyls. The only thing that really worried me was the ether. There is nothing in the world more helpless and irresponsible and depraved than a man in the depths of an ether binge. –Raoul Duke
It is hard to shed anything but crocodile tears over White House speechwriter Patrick Buchanan's tragic analysis of the Nixon debacle. "It's like Sisyphus," he said. "We rolled the rock all the way up the mountain...and it rolled right back down on us...." Neither Sisyphus nor the commander of the Light Brigade nor Pat Buchanan had the time or any real inclination to question what they were doing...a martyr, to the bitter end, to a "flawed" cause and a narrow, atavistic concept of conservative politics that has done more damage to itself and the country in less than six years than its liberal enemies could have done in two or three decades. -Hunter S. Thompson
