Most people on Usenet are a good bit younger than I am. : Are you, or not? I have been a registered Republican since 1958. : And who cares? "Republicrat" is a meaningless term because it's not : objectively defined. You could be a conservative or a leninist and still be : under the "big tent" of that undefined party. I'm a Barry Goldwater Republican. (You've heard of him?) Which means I'm to the left of virtually everybody in the party today. Bob

Pablo Picasso's work *is* all rubbish. : > : > Bob : : Do you use Canon or Nikon? I ought to have better sense than to answer that. But what the hell, everybody in this group knows anyway. I was a Nikon user in the film days and switched to Canon when I went digital. So what's that got to do with Pablo Picasso? I'd guess he was a Leica user, assuming he ever took photographs at all.

I'm just a newcomer to politics, then, I registered as a Republican in May, 1959. For several years I even voted Republican. I am still a registered Republican, but it's been years since I've voted for a Republican for national or state office. (I sometimes vote for a Republican for local office) I remain registered as a Republican to be a "spoiler" in the Republican primary. I believe that the biggest danger to this country is the Christian Conservative, so I vote for the opponent of anyone who is endorsed by the Christian Coalition. Remaining a registered Republican is also a bit fun at times. I get telephone calls near the elections from campaign workers for Republican candidates. They start out assuming, because I'm a registered Republican, that I'm on their side. The conversation goes downhill - for them - very quickly. -- Tony Cooper - Orlando, Florida

You don't have to be a right-winger to dislike Michael Moore. I think he's a fraud. Like Beck, Hannity, Limbaugh, and the rest of the radical fringe, Moore presents selected bits that support his positions. Moore's a radical, but at the opposite end of the spectrum from the others mentioned. -- Tony Cooper - Orlando, Florida |
