Posted by bruni on October 16, 2008

That’s right…list LOGICAL reasons. Not emotional reasons.

I have yet to meet ONE fucking person who can give me a logical reason to vote for Obama or McCain. So please, enlighten me with your logic.

A vote for Obama = emotional
A vote for McCain = emotional
my logical reason for underscoreunderscoreunderscoreunderscoreunderscore underscoreunderscoreunderscoreunderscoreunderscore is that there just aren’t enough underscore’s in the world
Obama is educated and knowledgeable about law and the constitution, so he can work on "issues at home" such as the economy, the budget, health care, etc.

Time is Running Out (email from Ron Paul)

Dear Friends,

Whenever a Great Bipartisan Consensus is announced, and a compliant media assures everyone that the wondrous actions of our wise leaders are being taken for our own good, you can know with absolute certainty that disaster is about to strike.

The events of the past week are no exception.

The bailout package that is about to be rammed down Congress’ throat is not just economically foolish. It is downright sinister. It makes a mockery of our Constitution, which our leaders should never again bother pretending is still in effect. It promises the American people a never-ending nightmare of ever-greater debt liabilities they will have to shoulder. Two weeks ago, financial analyst Jim Rogers said the bailout of Fannie Mae and Freddie Mac made America more communist than China! "This is welfare for the rich," he said.

DIACF Survey: Who are you and what drives your socioeconomic and political views?

Posted by bruni on August 04, 2008

For the past month or so I have noticed that this community lacks any concentration of direct explanations by the posters themselves on their own socioeconomic and political views. I am curious what drives people to hold the beliefs that they do, and was inspired by where the posters there revealed what drives their religious (or non-religious) beliefs.

What I’d like to do is have people just explain a bit about what got them to where they are and what they believe in a more direct fashion, rather than in bits and pieces that show during various debate threads. If you’re not shy, please include some demographic information, a little history of where you grew up, what sort of education you have, and what sort of political environment you were raised in. These sorts of things influence our views, obviously.
