Lets find out which way this site leans:

moderate



and you're gay, just drop it.

social democrat, but for this situation, a dem

Most poker players are Republicans.

Most poker players lose money.

Makes sense, I guess.

Good luck.

If you're a republican, JohnnyRingo, I am DEFINITELY a democrat.

Regardless... democrat.

gooooo liberals!!!!!!! :twisted: :twisted: :twisted:

hmmmmmmmmmmm i go to texas a&m...ill give yall one guess

libertarian.

howd u guess? haha

There is no such thing as a "liberal" or a "conservative." These are just two extremes of the political spectrum, no two people believes EXACTLY the same thing about every single imaginable issue, so therefore, there is no way to determine who is on the most extrmeme edge of the spectrum. Thus, there are no liberals or republicans, there are only people who think in a particular mindset (liberal or conservative) in regards to certain issues, yet it is impossible to say that any one single person thinks "conservative" on every single possible issue. Therefore, there are only people who tend to think liberal more often than conservative, and vice versa. Yet, people always want to classify a person as either one or the other, and this is the problem with politics in America. Instead of concerning themselves with how each particualar individual thinks about each perticular issue, people from both political parties are instead more concerned about keeping those who are in the "conservative party" thinking the same as them (and the same with the "liberal party") and arguing about the issue on a party basis in order to get people from their party in power(i.e. Republicans are right and Democrats are wrong), instead of arguing the actual issue itself, disregarding people's political affiliation and working together to solve these issues. I understand the need for the two party system, yet I think we need to keep that as a political structure ONLY, and not use that two party system to define the way we think about all of the issues. Instead of a conservative thinking, "oh, well of course he is against the war in iraq, he is a liberal," perhaps he should instead disregard political affiliation and deal with the actual issue itself, instead of stereotyping the "normal liberal response" and using that against the anti-war argument. Same with the democrats, instead of saying, "of course he is for the war, he is a republican," perhaps he too should disregard political affiliation and deal with the actual issue. However, neither men do this, and instead they argue about whose party is right in order to try and prove why people from their party deserve to be in office.

three words kowboy....get a hobby

yes, a person responding to the post in too complicated of a fashion for your feeble mind to understand, there is definitely something wrong with that, you're right...oh, wait a second, you are the one who probably can't even comprehend what it is that I am saying, so instead of telling me to get a hobby (which I do have, it is called poker, [which I am quite good at by the way]), how about I tell you to "get a book and learn to think intelligently."

conservative leaning independent...

sometimes the non-crazy libertarians make me happy as well.

I saw that you had posted in a thread and just figured you said something like "check-raise the turn."

Lo and behold, a whole paragraph of relatively pointless preaching.

You continue to surprise me :-)

Actually, most winning poker players are Democrats, and most stupid fish are Republicans.

In fact, it is impossible to be smart, love poker, and be a Republican. This is because Republican politicians are the ones attempting to pass laws that will destroy online poker as we know it.

See Sen. Kyl's (R-AZ) bill:
http://www.pokernews.com/news/2005/05/sena...r-kyl-again.htm

ok mr. intellectual u need to chill...if u cant take a little sarcasim maybe you should go find another site to post on

it isn't pointless preaching, the thread asks about our political thought, so I gave my political thought....if someone asks advice on how to play pocket threes before the flop in the early stages of a tournament, then responding to that question wouldn't be pointless, would it? No, it wouldn't, therefore, my response was significant and somewhat groundbreaking, if I do say so myself


oh, and to the post saying that I can't handle sarcasm..that's funny, just about every single other poster at this forum uses the 'sw' to indicate that they are being sarcastic. Not that I expect you to be able to apply that concept properly, but whatever...

hey now i am for the most part republican...im at at top 20 university and i am quite fond of poker...so maybe im the exception to the rule

Wherever Arnold leads, I will follow.

oh, and by the way, how did the Texas A&M football team fare today?? beaten by Clemson, wtf!?!?!? too bad franchione left the best job he ever had, coaching my Alabama Crimson Tide, ROLL TIDE (they won today, so suck on that)

He's no republican. Well, he is, but not in today's sense in the least.

I'm Democratish.

I stand by my quote. He wants to go into the firey pits of hell? I'm up for it!!!! GET DOWN IT'S A BOMB!!

haha alabama isnt close to the same level of team as a&m...but yes..a&m played like garbage today...should easily have been a 10 pt win...stupid mobley drops a ball on the 1...another td called back b/c of a reciever holding...idiotic plays...also the worst performance by reggie in 2 yrs

He needs to think intelligently?



:eh:

uhhhhh...are you sure about that, how many national titles does Alabama have, uh, yeah, i believe more than pretty much everyone else (12), uh....i bet Alabama is ranked higher in next weeks poll after dominating in our opener, uh...our defense last year was in the top 5 in the nation (and everyone is back) and everyone is back from our offense, which last year had our starting QB, starting RB, starting FB, starting TE, and two starting lineman out for essentially the whole year...we won the SEC just a couple years ago, and uh....what the hell has Texas A&M ever done, seriously...

haha the worst part about that is that DNs name is only in a few spots on this website

Kowboy...

telling us that everyone is different is just about as groundbreaking as telling us that we have to drink water to survive.

we give ourselves labels in order to give others a preliminary understanding of our point of view, so that we don't spend hours upon hours differentiating ourselves from one another in general terms. we can differentiate ourselves from one another via opinions on specific issues.

it is pointless to state that everyone is different and that we shouldn't group ourselves using the conventional means.

i could write 700 pages on my political point of view, or i could just tell you that i'm a democrat, and then let my point of view be shown via specific arguments.

but that is exactly the point, i have no problem with people calling themselves democrats and republicans (hence the part where I said i understand the need for a two party system). I was saying that politicans let their affiliations control too much of the debate over the issues today, and instead of each issue being argued individually based upon the details of the issue (which is what should happen), they instead lump all democrats into one way of thinking and say that they disagree with their view based solely on the fact that they are of a different party...


thus, when most people say that they are behind a certain party, others automatically group them into a certain mode of thinking on every single issue. You, being a democrat, it would thus be assumed that you agree with the democrats on every single issue!!! Is this true?? Of course it isn't, I am sure there is some issue where the republican view makes more sense, but these things never get explored in politics b/c it would be admitting that "the other party is right," and of course, noone wants to do that

So, again, you're about as groundbreaking as Hillary Duff's music.

All I was saying was that you're stating something that anyone who exercises their brain at all is completely aware of. Congratulations.

Ready? Here it comes....

Do you want a coooookie?

Thanks for the observation. You're right, but you're not special.

I''m a libertarian. Democrats annoy me...all they do is whine and moan and point fingers. Do something or go away. No one cares about your blogs and protest marches. Republicans are greedheads and hypocrites, but their policies have been great for my wallet. Republicans actually do something, though it is rarely in the interests of the vast majority of the people. Maybe if the dems could ever get a candidate better than douchebags like Al Gore and John Kerry they could actually win an election again.

Fuking democrats. I hate us, just like everyone else does.

(sigh)

Ice

I vote Republican

But I believe in the old saying that Democrats want to take away your freedom one page at a time, while republicans will tear off little pieces of the pages and flush them.

The end result is that politicians are the worst thing for this country.

I would be libertarian but if they ruled the world, there would never be any new roads or a strong military.

I strongly believe in a Monarcy, because then you have a 50% chance of getting a good guy.

Much better odds than what we got.


Favorite politician: Richard Nixon, (except for that obstruction of justice thing)

Favorite living politician: George W. Bush

This is why majority of CFO's, CEO's, COO's, Presidents, VP's, small Business owners, and Board Members are Republicans. Yep we have it real tough.

You're somehow conflating "be[ing] smart, lov[ing] poker..." into being a rich guy.

Communist.


*ducks*

I am a Republican just to the right of Attila-the-Hun.

And I do more than preach and whine on a poker board.

I am involved in the party, a precinct comiteeman, and I have run for office. I have personaly registered over a thousand voters of all perswations and views.

And I wish I coukd spell..............

you don't believe in the Communist party if you are a Marxist. I could go into it, but if you are a Marxist then you are a Socialist, the communist party that Lenin started bears very little resemblence to what Marx envisioned and Marx had no intention of communism happening in a state like Russia

part of my disdain for the Democratic party came from me working with my area's Congressional representative, and watching Bob TOrricelli in action in New Jersey. THe problem for me is that the Dems are the only viable party that somewhat represents my political beliefs. The fact that we don't have at least two additional political parties to better represent people's core values and beliefs

It can be a difficult choice when you don't fit well in either party. But you have to make a choice and try to change things from within. If you join the Libritarian or Green parties you are just wasting your time and your vote.

I agree. I also did some help for the Kerry Campaign last year and donated. I just wish that the green party was a stronger party, because I line up more with them. My disdain is more with how the process works in this country as more and more the american government is becoming a model of inefficiency

i dont' really want to respond to the OP's question. but i just wanted to say that USC would crush Alabama.

that will be all.

Goals in life:

Never vote.
Never pay taxes.

That may be the only thing we have in common, politicaly speaking.

Communist is the closest description to my beliefs without going into great deatal. I fully appreciate Marx's works, but I believe he failed to accurately describe the future as we see it now. His works seems to suggest a passive "waiting" for the uprising, while I think that this is a little naive, since the current political landscape does not allow for such a thing.

A&M is a top 20 University??? What sort of ranking did you find this in. I was pretty sure most people didnt do that readin' bidness all that well at A&M.
