The people on this board that scare me the most..

[Legend]

What is more frighten to me is that some girls support that agenda and seem to swing the way of the GOP.Nothing can be scary then a girl saying she is a lifetime member of the NRA.I understand the guys but hell if i know why any transsexual would support that shit.Thats just like an african american supporting the kkk.

[vietboy]

What's even more disturbing, are the ones who are independents, yet will do nothing to support a socially progressive party (compared to the other
morons).

Maybe someone can explain?

The reality is that Democrats/socialists/leftists can be JUST AS INTOLERANT towards certain minority groups as those on the right.

The only party that tends to be truly tolerant are Libertarians who espouse a live-and-let-live philosophy.

Ron Paul for President.

Who is ron paul?

'Merica is the only developed nation without a decent health care system or welfare system. People who gripe about higher taxes would quickly change their tune if they broke their leg and faced crippling medical bills for being treated.

To the idiot who said that all welfare does is support lazy single mums, you're talking out your arse. If done properly, a decent benefits system is a great social and economic boon. Benefits are there for everybody. When I left Uni I claimed Jobseeker's allowance and Housing benefit for six months while I looked for work. That allowed me to keep on my feet and find a well paying job. I reckon I will have 'paid back' the money I claimed after about two years of paying taxes.

Also, how do all you 'fiscal conservatives' feel about all your tax dollars going towards that fiasco in Iraq? lmao

'Merica has also only just legalised gay marriage IN ONE STATE! It is 2008...what is that all about?

Your country needs Obama. The fucking world needs Obama.

But hey, the GOP's tax 'spin' (anyone who thinks they save money during a republican term obviously doesn't know history) and National Security will always win over social reform, amirightguys?

Social conservatives would love to see us all off’d.
Hell, they’d probably like to watch it in an arena.
Legalizing discrimination against us and keeping us a marginal, openly hated group is one of their top priorities.
McCain may not feel exactly the same as they do (some still argue that he does), but he panders to them.
And his vice certainly is one of them thru and thru.

Allanah, please don’t tell me you’re surprised by the guys here that support this.
I’m sure many of you guys are great people, but in all fairness- you are in the closet;
And could probably care less where we stand as a people and whether we have true equality or not.
… as long as u can catch us on Eros, uninterrupted.

But ya can’t blame a girl for voting for her own rights. Or can you?

The reason that escort service had to pay taxes is because they're a registered business. Most escorts run ads and aren't taking out business licenses to promote their services therefore the money is considered a gift of money.
If I went to court tomorrow a court could never prove the amount of money I had received in "gifts" over the years.
You pay taxes for money you've earned...period. A guy paying for sex is not your employer and does not have you sign W-2's or W-4's and I can't remember the last time a trick 10-99'd me at the end of the year for money I earned for "working for him."
As far as republicans and democrats go, you can be whatever you want to be, but when you're beliefs infringe on the rights of select american minority groups you don't deserve to be in public office. If you're not there for ALL PEOPLE then what right do you have to govern over any land?

[Justawannabe]

<-- not in the closet... sigh... for all the credit it gets me... (likes girls/t-girls/some guys in that order... and everyone I hang with knows it)

That aside,

The issue with the way we run america is that most of our voting is all or nothing. There is no coalition building that gets minority opinions any power.

So when you vote for gun rights and lower taxes on the top 5%ish of the population, you also vote for gay marriage bans, restrictive id's and roll backs on enforcement of anti-discrimination laws, environmental laws etc.

I wish we had more ability to vote on single issues, but we have to vote for packages. In my case, I believe you have to evaluate the packages in stuff that is likely to actually get done, not on what the party might talk about.

In the case of gun control, I don't think there is any realistic chance significant restrictions could be passed in the next four years, so I don't vote on that issue.

Similar with taxes, I can vote in my personal best interest (no estate tax please, I want to inherit the full amount) but I have to look at what happened in the last few times we did this cut the top and hope it raises all boats. My family got wealthy, my extended family stayed the same... or roughly 1 in a 100 people benefited. Seems crap odds if I want my country as a whole to be strong. (And feels way too much like the 20's approach to me... that just didn't end well.)

Anyway, drifted off topic there...

Just wanted to say you can really only vote for one package, vote for the one that is likely to affect your personal freedoms less in a PRACTICAL way rather than IDEALOGICAL way. If someone is likely to prevent me marrying my chosen other, that will have real affects on me, finacially, emotionally and perhaps other ways.

The fact that someone might want me to register my gun again likely will just annoy me, as I don't think my personal shotgun is going to help me overthrow the government any time soon. Heck it won't even win me a shoot out with my local cops... but maybe I'm just a bad shot.

I know, Justwannbe, this closet thing gets old after a while. My pic and handle are exactly the same as my facebook profile, so anyone I know browsing this forum would easily put 2 and 2 together.

But that doesn't even matter because everyone who knows me, with the exeption of co-workers (who can't exactly fire me because of who I fuck lol), knows what I'm like anyway.

I just have a phobia about putting my ugly mug on the interwebs.

I reckon there is a sizeable proportion of the men on this board who would happily and proudly walk down a street with a TS on their arm.

They tend not to post in the bigdick threads though.

Threadjack over...back to laughing at the McCain nutjobs.

[DJ_Asia]

During this most interesting election year,topics are raised and candidates make promises in hopes that the voters will buy them and you will cast your votes their way.

Universal health care
Fair tax codes
civil rights
Gun Control
Family Values
Etc...etc...etc..

Fact is...and remember it when you listen to the debates...the USA is SO FAR IN DEBT THAT WE OWE MORE MONEY THEN THERE IS EVEN IN EXISTENCE!

So when we hear about health care reform blah blah blah...theres NO way we can afford it.Dont believe me...look it up.

[Alyssa87]

Tomfurbs, i wasnt referring to ppl not showing their faces on HA. i could care less about that. i ment in the closet -in their lives.

the guys who WONT walk down the street with a tgirl on their arm. and those who DO give a fuck about their friends, family, WIVES & KIDS knowing about their true orientations.

and i wasnt even attacking those aforementioned people either. Being closeted is their business, I‘m not fucking them. i was simply telling Allanah not to be surprised if they supported an 'anti-trans' candidate.


And
Justawannabe, again…
