I bet I'm more conservative than you and a republican. I doubt that you know what conservative means. That doesn't mean that I'm blind to hypocracy.
Bullshit. You are about as conservative as Terry McAuliffe.
It does not follow from the fact that when a candidate is taking a soft-money contribution, he is taking a bribe.
Only liberal Democrats think that way, and you sir, are a liberal Democrat. You are NO conservative. Conservatives believe in freedom of speech. Campaign contributions are a form of freedom of speech, no matter what John McCain says. Call it a "bribe" till the cows come home, but saying so does not make it so.
Your line of thinking tells me all I need to know about you. Now run along. You're fooling no one here.
Be Seeing You,
Chris
You thnk that it is a bribe when a democrate takes on reguardless of whether or not he is a conservative. When Clinton took soft money it was a bribe. The people giving the money expet somthing in return. The same is true when Republicans take it. That is why ( as you pointed out ) most of the bribers bribe both parties.
I can see that you are frustrated. I am not a democrat. You just want me to be one because you can't argue with me logically. I am a conservative Republican that would prefer that presidents be free to conduct the business of the nation without bribery. If other democracies soft money bribes don't exist because they see them for what they are .... bribes.
The Republicans take in more hard money than dems. They would be better off without soft money. The pres spend inordinent amounts of time soliciting contributions because he has too. That is bad for our country.
