oh, and $$$$$$

Just looking at the results for Dems & Reps & asking what people think of them is all.

..."save our party from extremism" PACs....yet.

Here's what I've concluded about Kansas on this app: it's only
People in the big cities that have it. None of the small town people that are the stereotypical Kansans

I misunderstood what you typed. Disregard my response

Governor Brownback has trashed the state and alienated traditional Republicans.

For the record I'm from a town of 10,000 and moved to a 30,000.

Ah, good. I may just do something along those lines. Thanks, EB!

The only one that has teeth is the guns one because I do not believe that Everyone should have access to Every gun at Anytime they get the idea.

The Rep once was also less subjective than the Demos; look at budget and economic policies.

Sorry, I don't know how to do that.

No worries. Just curious.

If you can access my profile, and my poll questions from there, this was based off of two of the recent ones.

Liberal policies are based on theory. Sound good on paper but that's about it.

I disagree with that Hranka :)
(Warning: Blatantly biased and inflammatory comment)
Liberals see the problems and want to ameliorate them so everyone benefits. Conservatives see problems and want to ignore or exploit them to their own benefit.

Heh, FacePalm, if we're playing the overbroad inflammatory stereotype game, I'd say it's more that conservatives see problems and insist they don't exist, and that people who try to find solutions to those problems are the "real" problem.

To clarify, I don't actually think this is broadly true of "conservatives." Plenty of conservatives acknowledge that problems exist and simply differ as to *how* to solve them.

But boy is there a subset here...

I don't either, but it was fun to say it :)

It's possible that I am feeling a bit mischievous...

I wouldn't go that far, Bethany. More like conservatives see the problems with the liberal solutions, while liberals see the conservative solutions as unrealistic.

Here's an analogy I like.

Average Jo has a cut finger. Problem - how to prevent infection?

Liberal solution: slather on a 2" layer of Super Antibiotic Insta-heal ointment, wrap entire hand and arm in sterile silk for a month. Beg on street to cover cost of Cappuccino machine and personal attendant

Conservative Solution: Amputate the arm. Cauterize wound. Present Bill to patient. Go hunting. Use amputated arm as bear bait.

Don't amputate his arm! He won't be able to work, then I will have to support him!

Conservative solution: he shouldn't have cut his finger in the first place! Let him deal.

Victim blaming so soon? :)

Only when they are a victim of their own poor choices.

Pfft, he should have bought some insurance, then he could afford a prosthetic arm. Either way he should be grateful that the wound was cauterized.

He was cut when he was robbed by an armed thug.

Sorry, I don't know how to do that. It was two of my recent poll questions.

It's ok, it was a joke :)

Doh! Read that wrong. I thought you asked if I could show you both options (as in both previous polls). I get it now!

Tiger is a funny guy/girl. I like his/her humor :)

Her, BTW. Thanks :)
