We gotta get Mitt Romney and a full Republican Congress into the government to repeal Obamacare once and for all!
Hear hear!
Obama's too lazy to be serious about campaigning for socialism. He'd much rather be watching socialism erect itself than do anything to speed it up.
In any case, Romney is by far our best bet. At least he isn't giving us the same campaign speeches from the '08 election.
Well, I think Romney is the best bet, but I hope he's serious about cutting spending and doesn't turn out to be another George Bush...
Well just remember bush didn't ask for 8 years of war, but yes we need to keep it to a min. Just as long as we back Israel if something bad happened. Right now I don't think Obama would lift a finger any higher than backing NATO if Israel got into war.
Well, I'm all for the war funding that Bush did; however, he vastly expanded entitlements as well (a lot of times he wanted up to 30% increases in social programs) and he signed into law Medicare Part D (which is a big as Social Security!). I think he did a wonderful job with his tax cuts. Under Bush, revenue in this country went up $1,000,000,000,000 from when he took office. If not for his tax cuts spurring economic growth, we would have seen Obama size deficits under Bush.
This is a great reference for Bush's spending increases: http://www.cato.org/pubs/tbb/tbb-0308-16.pdf
Why's everyone hating on Bush? I suspect he only made the bad decisions he did under pressure from the media.
In any case, he was a cowboy, and that's exactly what our country needed at the dawn on the War on Terror. You know, someone who wouldn't back down.
Hey, I'm not saying Bush was all bad...I'm just saying he was not a true fiscal conservative. Under his administration, domestic discretionary spending rose (see the reference I gave above). Mark R. Levin wrote an article a while ago talking about Bush and how he is no Reagan. I am reading Bush's book "Decision Points" right now. The man did not believe government was a problem; he was a "compassionate conservative". That is one of the scariest terms I have ever heard. It translates to increased social spending. On another note, Bush is proud of his spending increases (as he himself has affirmed) and he had a full Republican Congress for the majority of his two terms. George W. Bush has no excuses. Aside from that, he demonstrated his lack of faith in the free market when he forced TARP through Congress. He may have "saved the American economy", but he drove a knife through the heart of what was left of his fiscal conservatism. Bush is no Reagan.
You may have guessed already that I'm not a big fan of Bush. This is not to say I would prefer a Democrat (like Obama) over Bush, but I believe that the Bush administration left the conservative movement in shambles and allowed the election of Barack Obama. After all, if you look at both of their policies, there are some similarities between both of them.
You're right in saying Reagan was better, that's for certain. I don't think there's a solitary person who could surpass Reagan.
Perhaps Calvin Coolidge? He and Reagan are tied for first on my favorite presidents ever list.
I mean anyone in this day and age. Tell me about Coolidge - I don't really know that part of American history very well.
How can I explaing John Calvin Coolidge...perhaps he was the only laissez-faire president America has ever had. Under this man, only 2% of the population paid income tax, the government ran at least five consecutive budget surpluses, the economy boomed in the Roaring 20's, and he actually paid down the national debt by a quarter. His most famous quote: "After all, the chief business of the American people is business. They are very concerned with buying, saving, and investing...."
We need more activity in the region.
Obama is just not good...
Greetings!

Conservative NationStates: The Trustworthy Nation Simulator
Post by Abatael suppressed by a moderator.
Ya know, you can choose the type of simulation you want in your settings...I chose the Conservative one.
Post by Abatael suppressed by a moderator.
Well, that's what we are.
Post by Abatael suppressed by a moderator.
I'm actually more of a Libertarian, but I am also a Conservative in most aspects.
Post by Abatael suppressed by a moderator.
Well, Conservatives favor an extreme of social conservatism: for instance, they favor tight regulation to enforce morality. I believe laws should be put in place for the most basic of constitutional rights (such as life), but not extend any farther into the lives of the citizen. In essence, I am a conservative on the fundamental issues, but a libertarian when the rules become excessive.
Post by Abatael suppressed by a moderator.
Yeah, well, I had my left wing amputated.

It's a phrase I invented and is the motto of a puppet nation of mine.
Post by Abatael suppressed by a moderator.
California, yeah man.
Post by Abatael suppressed by a moderator.
Well, I live in Northern California, so yeah, there are a lot of liberals, but we also have a lot of conservatives...we're about half and half where I live.

You got it, guess which state is going to vote for Obama? We are! So our vote doesn't really count for anything.
Post by Abatael suppressed by a moderator.
Yes, we all know that, after all, there's always that small chance. Even so, our county goes Republican often: our Congressman's name in McClintock. He's a great guy.

What does it mean????

In Washington state, it is nearly 50% Republican and 50% Democrat. But since the West of the Cascades (the liberal side) has Seattle, it has bigger population (and a lot of wealthy tech people). The East side is the conservative side. It is almost like a different state on the east side of the Cascades (plus the climate is so different because of the rain shadow effect). Our gubernatorial election is getting pretty close. It is between our republican Attorney General, Rob McKenna, and a recently former U.S. Senator, Jay Inslee. We haven't had a republican governor in 30 years. McKenna is a moderate, so he is still attractive and is a really smart guy. In Washington, there is a paradox; most everyone oppose higher taxes, yet we elect liberals. God willing he will win.
(Oops: I should have mentioned that I live in Washington).
We need Republicans in our state as well, not just in the federal government, but in the state one. California is so messed up: we have one of the worst regulatory problems and really high taxes...no wonder businesses are leaving.

No, I don't believe we should ban private sector unions, because by banning them, we ban freedom of associations. What we should do is treat them exactly as we treat business: break up their monopolies with anti trust laws and create right to work laws. Public sector unions should be banned, though.
Post by Abatael suppressed by a moderator.
I agree with Liberosia. Also, everyone should have the "right to work." We need more right to work states.
Post by Abatael suppressed by a moderator.
It means a worker can work for a company and not be forced to join a union.
Post by Abatael suppressed by a moderator.
Yep.

Fluent Italian, Latin, and Georgian???
Post by Abatael suppressed by a moderator.
Okay, when I say fluent, I mean you can literally talk in Italian, Georgian, and Latin as well as English...can you do that????
Post by Abatael suppressed by a moderator.
I only speak english
English is the best language!

I like the "novum" in the name...I assume it means "new"? If it does, it makes you sound improved, majestic, and...Roman. I myself am Italian.
Post by Abatael suppressed by a moderator.
Absolutely not...AMERICA!!! My first and only allegiance is to my country and its language.
Post by Abatael suppressed by a moderator.
Nah, just my favorite language is English.
Hey al, I just want to let you know that this nation: Corps Of Domination, and its region are allies of Antifa and other communist/socialist sources. Just be on your guard against this person and any nation/region allied with this person.
Post by Abatael suppressed by a moderator.
Well, it was to everybody, but yes, you count as everybody.
Post by Abatael suppressed by a moderator.
Yeah, I missed one of the "l's"...anyway, that one nation seems to despise us now. Just look at its moto...something to the effect of "to dominate and enslave the male race". It and its region are a bunch of crazed sexists allying themselves with communists and socialists. And let the record show, I do have a puppet called Fascista Italia. I created it a while ago so that I could establish another personality to talk to fascists and socialists in the game. It's different because I myself didn't want a puppet representing National Socialism, NAZIism, or German Socialism...I wanted an Italian fascist nation. After some research and some talks with some people who are genuinely good fascists, I discovered that the original form of fascism was intended to be democratic: a unifying ideology that includes every race or ethnicity in the nation to advance the country. I myself still dislike the idea, but it is much less worse than the fascism propagated by Hitler and the Reich. Mussolini actually wanted to include Jewish members of Italian society in government before Hitler forced him not to.
Post by Abatael suppressed by a moderator.
Well, the original form incorporates races and ethnicities into the national identity, so then outsiders are regarded as anyone outside the nations. As I said, Mussolini wanted to elevate Jewish members of Italian society.
Post by Abatael suppressed by a moderator.
Why would you say that? I'm not a fan of fascism, but I know a few people who are not supporters of the Reich who have given me these explanations. Personally, I'm inclined to believe them. Mussolini actually wrote a book about his form of fascism. Do you have a knowledge of fascism? I'd like to learn.
