That was actually not my quote, I was responding to SFW. My part was explaining that there are still small government Republicans, they are just now considered the Libertarian wing and no one listens to them. lol

They all seem to be for "small gubmint" except when it comes to massive waste and expenditure on the military-industrial complex, corporate welfare and the like.

It's socialism for them but "capitalism" for everyone else.

This is not how we do things here. What happened to the small government Republicans?

With us or against us.  to the bitter end.

we have got to drop the labels

or at least narrow it down to two

our _Freinds___________ and their _Foes____________.

 

This is not how we do things here. What happened to the small government Republicans? They are still around, they are called the Libertarian wing and consists of Rand Paul, Thomas Massie, Justin Amash and a few others. No one listens to them tho just like all of us other Libertarians.

Agreed, except for some of Paul's anti-regulation ideas. He seems to think that letting corporations and businesses run amok without gov't oversight is the answer to our economic problems, when it's just what has gotten us into much of the mess we have now. We certainly know that they won't regulate themselves.

I do think however that one of his advisors, Bruce Fein, has often been accurate with his assessments of the Bush and Obama administrations - both highly unconstitutional and should have been impeached. If Obama had done something about the Neo-Cons when he first came in like he eluded to in his first campaign, instead of "let's look forward, not backward", things would likely have been much different now.

Take an hour and watch this, where Nader and Fein give it to the Harvard Law School brats, most of whom will go on to corporate and gov't law and cushy compensation because it's the easy way out.

The two-party oligarchy not letting other candidates into the final debates, people like Ralph Nader, Ron Paul, Dennis Kucinich, Mike Gravel, Jill Stein, etc. is what keeps them from getting the higher percentages of votes they'd surely receive with wider and fairer exposure. But the R's and Ds were scared shitless back when Perot won 19% of the vote, that's why they'll never let something like it happen again.

We could say the same about American oligarchs (top U.S. incomes and corporations) as some claim about the Russian version, except I don't know why the same standards aren't used for the Americans. Oh I forgot...America is "exceptional". But it's not Russians that are usually ripping off this country, it's Americans who actually don't give a damn about nationalism or borders as long as there's a nickle to be drained.

The Russophobia has gone psychotic lately. Rational people should know better.

now this is something to be paranoid about...if only for the cost it will entail. 

Is this guy a Master of Disguise? Could be traveling disguised as a small child? Old lady?
