Quote from: jimmy olsen on December 06, 2012, 08:34:06 PMMy positions have not appreciably changed since the late 90s/early 00s. The republican party has moved significantly rightward since then and many of the positions championed by the GOP then are now put forward by Dems. Just because the letter in front of the people supporting those policies have changed, doesn't mean I will stop supporting them.

So were you a Democrat back during the Clinton years when the GOP was more to the right?

I have to get on him occasionally cause otherwise that lazy ass just slacks off.
I've given it serious thought. I must scorn the ways of my family, and seek a Japanese woman to yield me my progeny. He shall live in the lands of the east, and be well tutored in his sacred trust to weave the best traditions of Japan and the Sacred South together, until such time as he (or, indeed his house, which will periodically require infusion of both Southern and Japanese bloodlines of note) can deliver to the South it's independence, either in this world or in space.  -Lettow April of 2011

No, I was not. At no point in the 1980-2000 was the Republican party anywhere near as far to the right as it is now.
It is far better for the truth to tear my flesh to pieces, then for my soul to wander through darkness in eternal damnation.

Jet: So what kind of woman is she? What's Julia like?
Faye: Ordinary. The kind of beautiful, dangerous ordinary that you just can't leave alone.
Jet: I see.
Faye: Like an angel from the underworld. Or a devil from Paradise.

Now that's a bold statement.  I think you're buying into too much of the hype.

I don't think he remembers the Clinton years.  They went batshit insane in those days as well.
