You are a conservative if:

your three golden rules are to criticize, condemn, and complain
you become speaker of the house; therefore, you need a disguise so you grow a beard
the best day of your life is when you resign as speaker of the house, so you sing a happy song on departure
you vote to repeal Obamacare 54 times, because your followers attention isn't longer than two weeks, and their memory is even shorter
you can't solve any problem, because solutions are "too hard", and you say that with a tear in your eye
you think Obama was foreign born, because Hawaii isn't a state
you can't be responsible for anything, because you don't do anything
you blame liberals for everything, because you know never do anything wrong
you want very social program cut except the ones that you are receiving, because those are great
you think Trump, and Cruz are the best thing since Reagan, although they are nothing like Reagan
you complain about 47% of people that don't pay taxes forgetting that 8 out of the 10 worse states are Republican
you complain about free handout, but your states are getting more federal aid than they pay in taxes.
you think that social security, Medicare, state income taxes, gasoline taxes, excise taxes, and sales taxes aren't really taxes so you can lump low income people in the 47% category
you complain about the president's ISIS ,and Syria game plans, but refuse to vote for any law to implement anything to solve these problems
you fall down a say a prayer every time Trump swears in public
you are against abortion, but do not want to pay a cent for a woman, who has a hard time supporting her children
you don't think global warming exist, because it is still cold in the winter
you don't want to accept climate change, because it was called global warming first
you think supply side economics works even though it has always failed, so you never learn from your mistakes
you think that the Hastert rule is in the Constitution
you think that only the Republican Senate leader can use the filibuster to stop legislation
you think that Obamacare will be repealed the first day a Republican becomes president
you think that Washington doesn't work, so your candidate is going to be someone that makes sure that it won't work
you want to close the government down every time you don't get your way
you want a strong military, but don't want to put your kids in harms way
you want the Hispanic vote, but do everything to make sure that they won't vote Republican
you think that deporting 12 million illegal aliens won't cost anything
you think that adding 20,000 border guards won't cost anything
you think that there is no way of getting around a wall
you think that you are the only party that cares about a safe America
you think that Archie Bunker was a liberal, because he only wanted everybody on a plane to be armed instead of everyone in the country
you are against every Heritage Foundation plan that Obama puts forward
you think that Fox News is "fair and balanced".
you can't understand why Glenn Beck was fired from Fox News
you think that any middle of the road Republican is either a RINO or RHINO.
you think that all Muslims should have to register like Jews in NAZI Germany
you think that the Supreme Court justices should vote based upon party affiliation rather than the law

Is that list long enough?

Thst may be the short list on this forum.

You are a conservativebut likely a LIBERAL if:

your three golden rules are to criticize, condemn, and complain Note: Harry Reid, Peogrossi, Obama.
you become speaker of the house; therefore, you need a disguise so you grow a beard ?????? or a face lift (Pelosi)
the best day of your life is when you resign as speaker of the house, so you sing a happy song on departure (or spit like Pelosi?)
you vote to repeal Obamacare 54 times, because your followers attention isn't longer than two weeks, and their memory is even shorter (especially when Harry Reid refuses to do his job and holds ALL bills passed in the House)
you can't solve any problem, because solutions are "too hard", and you say that with a tear in your eye (never see a tear in Pelosi's eyes, except when she gets caught)
you think Obama was foreign born, because Hawaii isn't a state (or because his supposed father is African, but hasn't been proved yet)
you can't be responsible for anything, because you don't do anything (for two whole years with only Obamacare passed and that will bankrupt America)
you blame liberals for everything, because you know never do anything wrong (may be too difficult to interpret what that means)
you want very social program cut except the ones that you are receiving, because those are great (another hard to interpret)
you think Trump, and Cruz are the best thing since Reagan, although they are nothing like Reagan (I don't know anyone that thinks like that, but they are better than Obama and Hillary)
you complain about 47% of people that don't pay taxes forgetting that 8 out of the 10 worse states are Republican (and the worst crime rates are in Dem controlled states)
you complain about free handout, but your states are getting more federal aid than they pay in taxes. (nice spin on the real truth)
you think that social security, Medicare, state income taxes, gasoline taxes, excise taxes, and sales taxes aren't really taxes so you can lump low income people in the 47% category (no one said that but liberals. 47% don't pay INCOME taxes. Clear enough for you?)
you complain about the president's ISIS ,and Syria game plans, but refuse to vote for any law to implement anything to solve these problems (voting to do nothing but talk is not reasonable)
you fall down a say a prayer every time Trump swears in public (another hard to interpret. Perhaps an English refresher?)
you are against abortion, but do not want to pay a cent for a woman, who has a hard time supporting her children (Conservatives donate to charity. Where are the liberals hiding when the plate is passed around? )
you don't think global warming exist, because it is still cold in the winter (you are right, we don't believe in it. The ice caps are getting thicker)
you don't want to accept climate change, because it was called global warming first (the climate changes with the seasons. No one debates that)
you think supply side economics works even though it has always failed, so you never learn from your mistakes (and that's why we are the most successful country in the world, because it fails....OK)
you think that the Hastert rule is in the Constitution (English a second language?)
you think that only the Republican Senate leader can use the filibuster to stop legislation (Harry didn't need the filibuster to stop legislation for how many years?)
you think that Obamacare will be repealed the first day a Republican becomes president (we can only pray, and you will too when you get the bill)
you think that Washington doesn't work, so your candidate is going to be someone that makes sure that it won't work (the country is better off when they don't work, as proved by the past seven years or so. )
you want to close the government down every time you don't get your way(Obama says that as he threatens to veto everything when he doesn't get his way, like a petulant child)
you want a strong military, but don't want to put your kids in harms way (nope, that's the liberals that won't let their kids join the miitary)
you want the Hispanic vote, but do everything to make sure that they won't vote Republican (Won't let Illegals vote. There really is a difference, you know?)
you think that deporting 12 million illegal aliens won't cost anything (no one ever said that, but it will cost us less than allowing them to stay)
you think that adding 20,000 border guards won't cost anything (no one said that either, but it won't cost liberals anything because they don't pay taxes)
you think that there is no way of getting around a wall (the racism wall is difficult to get around and it is used quite frequently by liberals)
you think that you are the only party that cares about a safe America (that is proven)
you think that Archie Bunker was a liberal, because he only wanted everybody on a plane to be armed instead of everyone in the country(don't diss' Archie)
you are against every Heritage Foundation plan that Obama puts forward (If Obama endorses it, then there is something wrong with it. He has never been right yet)
you think that Fox News is "fair and balanced". (and liberals think NBC is conservative)
you can't understand why Glenn Beck was fired from Fox News (was he? And do we care?)
you think that any middle of the road Republican is either a RINO or RHINO. (middle to a liberal is Hillary and slightly left is Sanders)
you think that all Muslims should have to register like Jews in NAZI Germany (good idea. Were Jews dangerous?)
you think that the Supreme Court justices should vote based upon party affiliation rather than the law (they don't?)

Is that list long enough?

My father taught me that there are three things you don't talk about excep with family
POLITICS, RELIGION, MONEY
I still think he was right

Guess I just got the online version of a pat on the head. Sigh. I know it is hard for you conservative, Republican, whte men to believe, but most liberals are not stupid nor naive. We love this country. We do have work ethics. We are no more hypocritical than most average human beings. Many of us really do understand that a coin has two sides. We are tolerant of other people's foibles and beliefs. We may not like it, but we do believe the KKK has as much right to a parade as a peace protest. We do believe everyone should get a fair chance but not a free ride. We do believe that protecting the environment is important. We do believe that people should have the right to enjoy their sexual preference so long as it does not harm another. And so on and so forth. We ain't stupid nor blind.

Most liberals I know are sorely disappointed in Obama and not thrilled with the concept of Hillary as President. But we do think anyone would be better than Trump or Rubio. For now, I'm rooting for Rand Paul and he doesn't stand a snowball's chance. So, Mickey Mouse may end up getting my vote.

I was shocked to discover that first of all Japan owns slightly more of our debt than China does but, more important together they only hold about 20% of our national debt. SOCIAL SECURITY OWNS 42% OF THE NATIONAL DEBT.

Posted by Guest (Post 1161005)

No believe we need LIBERALS to suggest how it SHOULD be. Problem is TODAY thanks to PARROTING Obama and Hillary believe that CONSERVATIVES are evil. Yet, they demand that the conservatives must pay for their LIBERAL PROGRAMS.
Simple economics-If, you tax something you will have less of it. If, you subsidize something you will have more of it.
You report, most liberals are sorely disappointed with Obama. YOU DO NOT MENTION THAT IT IS THE LIBERALS THAT PUT HIM IN OFFICE. Sadly the result of Obama is that this country is more divided then ever before in my lifetime and we are now 19 TRILLION DOLLARS IN DEBT. Since, you are posting here I assume you are receiving social security or soon to. We paid for this so it is not WELFARE. Our government keeps telling us our major creditors are china and japan. I was shocked to discover that first of all Japan owns slightly more of our debt than China does but, more important together they only hold about 20% of our national debt. SOCIAL SECURITY OWNS 42% OF THE NATIONAL DEBT.

Mccaine said we have a lot of hard work to do BUT AMERICANS ARE UP TO THE TASK.

The LIBERALS instead of a mature vote voted for OBAMA the candyman can.
Now we have an even harder problem to deal with. THANKS TO OBAMA we do not even have AMERICANS working on a UNITED INTEREST AND PROBLEM,we have a divided population and we have double the NATIONAL DEBT. OBAMA hitched his wagon to divisiveness and RACISM-AMERICAN WEAKNESS. The sad facts Black vote was 98% for Obama (13% of the population) Jewish vote was 86% for Obama (5% of the population) had the rest of the population voted along the same racially motivated lines Obama would have gotten roughly 28% of the vote-the worst defeat in American History. If, you wonder, not that it matters, I AM PROUDLY ONE OF THE 18% OF JEWS THAT DID NOT VOTE FOR OBAMA. For all you LIBERALS blind to the fact that you have skillfully been hypnotized to the democratic BS. I suggest you open your mind and see that for the labeled as racist REPUBLICANS skin color was not at all an issue with Carson. In the debate, the reporter tried to bait Carson into the OBAMA LIBERAL RACISM, his reply was I AM A SURGEON. How much more politely could he address this question. For those who did not understand what he said YOU ARE A DEMOCRATIC BRAINWASHED FOOL.

Now Chi, why do you even bother to make your snide comments? You do not give liberals a good Rep. You have yet to make an informative comment, just snide retorts to someone else's comment. You have almost lowered yourself to the juvenile standards of our pet liberal troll. Some on here probably give you the benefit of doubt, as I do, because you seem to be mostly civil with your simple one liners.

Posted by Guest (Post 1161049)

Well MD, sometimes a little office decorum would be nice. Too bad you don't think someone yelling calling people Democratic brainwashed fools is a little beyond snide. But since you don't here is a classic insult yelling clip featuring an all star cast:

Dear Guest: I could logically counterpoint on every single statement you made but it would be much too long. So let me say with all due respect your thinking here is a prime example of the shallow, bias and delusional thinking conducted by so many progressives.

For example your statement referring to the repeal of Obamacare flys in the face of reason when by every measure, measures generated by different people many of whom have no axe to grind explain the disastrous affect this law has had on our economy.

Frankly I tired of trying to explain the facts of life to present day progressives ,its like talking to a drunk . Clearly the Democratic Party has been hijacked by radicals whose policies continue to sink this nation into mediocrity and when logical intelligent people try to explain such folly progressives respond with accusations of "the three golden rules of criticize, condemn and complain"from the Party of No. "Disingenuous", as you progressive are fond of saying, don't you think.

And by the way I am as inclined to disagree with many Republicans who place self interests ahead of national interest and that speaker who resigned singing a happy tune was one of them. And its beginning to look like the speaker with the newly grown beard is heading in the same direction with his agreement to fund Planned Parenthood.

Its no wonder Trump is trumping them all....and I am not fond of Trump

Personal Best Regards:

This response is perfect to explain exactly what the majorities of the posters here are. Blind to all foolish nonsense posted by their kind. No one had any problem at all the two long lists criticizing everything liberals are suppose to be, but the second someone responds in kind what conservatives are that list is too long. I can't respond to your list because "it's too hard, and long".

When I did respond putting up an article that contradicted some of the items in Mr. List Maker, and his evil twin posts, his evil twin told me my response was lame. Then, they got what they asked for, and list long as theirs. So, what is the problem? Maybe it is about time you start getting as good as you give out.

By the way, why did you take that list seriously? Are people here so thinned skinned that they can't see backhanded humor directed at them? What is worse is all the foolish lists directed at anyone that doesn't walk lock step with them are taken as gospel. Maybe you should control your own before attacking someone that doesn't agree with you 100% of the time. Only then should someone take you seriously.

I am a New Yorker and am looking for a community that is fun, positive and where I can meet new friends. Everyone raves about The Villages up here. Can you tell me if there is racial and political diversity? I known my own values and who I am going to vote for and I don't like hearing a lot of "ranting" about politics. That is what is going on a lot where I live and I would love to get away from it. Any feedback would be welcome. Thanks!

Please stop whining. It is soooo unbecoming. I can understand how you can be humiliated with the limited selection of pitiful candidates running for your party this time. But, adult up and try to maintain a confident air as Hillary sells your country down the river. Remember, you can always vote Republican this time around, and shore you image back up.

Posted by Guest (Post 1161567)

Stop whining. Now, that is funny. The second someone swings back at a Republican the alligator tears flow. Wake up. That is what Personal Best Regards did cried a river.

My party, the Democrats. You know this how? I am an independent that will vote for John Kasich, if he still is in the hunt. If not, I will vote for Donald Duck in the general election. In MY country, Mr. Duck is head and wings above everyone else running.

Posted by Guest (Post 1161551)

If the only impression of the Villages I had was from reading the political forum, I wouldn't settle within 100 miles of the place. I strongly recommend you take advantage of the lifestyle preview program and check out The Villages for yourself. You will see that the vast majority of villagers have better things to do than talk politics. I can count on the fingers of one hand the number of times I have overheard others having political conversations in The Villages.

If you're looking for well thought out, intelligent discourse addressing the issues confronting the country, you will not find it here. Some the typical threads that demonstrate an intelligent, nuanced command of the issues include: "republicans are mean spirited", "Why are democrats so foolish?", or "republican hypocrites".

Sadly, the political forum is made up of a large number of baiters who are masters at it. They do it for their own pleasure, indeed you could go blind trying to make sense of it all.

Posted by Guest (Post 1161591)

Yes, yes, yes, you have insisted that you are Independent and going to vote for Kasich many times. Are you trying to convince yourself, or are you trying to fool us? I doubt anyone is buying it, but really? Really? Do you think that it is anyone else's business who you vote for? Do you think anyone cares? Kasich is out of the running, or will be. Sorry about that. You try to convince that you are Independent for what reason? There is NO Independent party. There is only Democrat or Republican. You can't even vote in the primaries in most states as an Independent. But, you know that. You are just the forum pet troll that likes to bait and get attention. Well, you got your five minutes of attention. Bye now.

Posted by Guest (Post 1161614)

Why do the people here keep trying to stick the "liberal" tag on anyone that doesn't agree with them 100% of the time? Are they trying to fool themselves into believing there are only two ways of thinking far right or far left? Since when (2009) is a Republican only far right, and a Democrat far left? Strange as it seems, there are clear thinking people that don't think that their way is the only way. I want to get attention from the likes of the people here. Why? Only people like you need attention by degrading someone else, but keep it up. It fits you well.
