  1. Retrospective US Presidential Election: 2000

    Why I voted for Pat Buchanan. First, I wil start off with a disclamer. I am Pro-Choice, in favor of Gay Marriage, and an atheist. Now why would such a person vote for Pat Buchanan, who opposes people with the above three characteristics? Well, I agree with Pat on Immigration, affirmative...
  2. Retrospective US Presidential Election: 1996

    A declaration of Intentions I will be gone for the next week going fossil hunting in Pennsylvania for, and I won't be bringing my laptop. I may miss the 2000 election, so I wan't to declare my support for Patrick J. Buchanan of the Reform Party. If I can get back in time to vote, that would...
  3. Some Kind of Joke

    Well, the saying "watch what we do, not what we say" could also apply to Agnew, as it did to Nixon. Nixon on the outside appeared conservative, and angry. The angry speeches by Agnew, and Nixon's seeming grumpyness didn't help his public image, but Nixon has quite a liberal record in terms of...
  4. A Shift in Priorities

    On the question of Alaska. What is its status in terms of loyalty to the union, or likelyhood of seccession? I figure there are about 2 options: 1 - Some foreign power (Canada, Japan) invades the territory to "restore order" for the benefit of the people living there. 2 - Canada offers...
  5. Some Kind of Joke

    What the HELL!!!!!! This is the second time this has happened. Every time I am reading a book that involves President Nixon, someone posts a Nixon timeline. Just two days ago, I started reading "A Time to Heal The autobiography of Gerald R Ford." I am half way through it, and I vididly...
  6. Retrospective US Presidential Election: 1996

    I know we are going to go through the 2000, 2004, and 2008 elections. However my quyestion is are we going to do somesort of poll on 2012? I know this is a "retrospective" elections poll, but it would be interesting to see what people think about Obama v Romney. Also, looking back at my...
  7. Possible Liberal Independent Candidates, 1980?

    What about John Lindsay? He was a liberal Republican who left the party because he felt Nixon was dragging the party to the right. He could attract liberal votes from both parties, especially if both nominees are relatively conservative. How about this: Have Buckley win the mayoral race...
  8. Retrospective US Presidential Election: 1996

    Why I voted for Bob Dole. I know that Dole isn't the most inspiring figure, that's why I call him "Dull Doe." On the other hand, he really isn't a right winger. He tried to moderate the GOP platform, and on many issues, Dole is pandering to the base to get their support, not because he...
  9. Lt. George W. Bush: Prisoner of war.

    http://liberalslikechrist.org/about/chickenhawks.html The above link lists many "Chicken Hawks." GOP'ers who got deferments, or just didn't serve, and yet want to invade every country they don't like. How could these people be different, if they had served, and survived their services...
  10. McCain/Pawlenty 2008 => Romney/Palin 2012?

    I will actually disagree that Palin couldn't be the 2016 frontrunner. With two "successful" terms as governor, and a HELL of alot more debating practice, she could potentially be the GOP frontrunner. However presuming Obama wins in 2012, the moderates in the party are going to be discredited...
  11. Retrospective Republican primaries, 2012

    My views on each candidate: Mitt Romney -The man's got more views than there are policies to have views on. Rick Santorum - At least when he says something, we know he means it. Ron Paul - He knows he will never be nominated, or be in a GOP cabinet. He's setting the stage for Rand in 2016...
  12. If Not Roosevelt, Who Could've Ran in 1940?

    Why not Wendell Willkie? He was a registered Democrat until he decided to run for the GOP nomination. He supported most of FDR's big projects, and was an internationalist, so he might be acceptable. However to get Willkie as the DEM nominee, we need either the GOP, led by Taft, Vandeberg...
  13. Retrospective US Presidential Election: 1992

    I proudly cast my vote for Henry Ross Perot. I don't really care too much about social issues, and won't bother anyone else about them. I personally don't think a balanced budget amendment (BBA) to the Constitution is needed because the gov't ought to be able to keep its books balanced, but...
  14. A Shift in Priorities

    Thanks for the interesting info on the whereabouts of Harry S. Truman. Also, I forgot to say thanks for the info on the FED a couple of updates back. I am hoping the Hawaiian Monarchy can be restored with the help of either Germany, or Japan/China. One last thought, hopefully we can have...
  15. Richard Nixon the Used Car Salesman

    Richard Nixon, car salesman, well you asked for it. My answer: YES because who doesn't like Dick Nixon?:D Wishing you well, his majesty, The Scandinavian Emperor
  16. Any Presdiental elections which could been changed by different VP candidates

    I will do 1960 to 2012 Nixon/Rockefeller would have wiped the floor with Kennedy/Johnson. Kennedy needed a southerner, so a Kennedy/Smathers ticket might do. Goldwater/Scranton, or Goldwater/Rockefeller would have still lost to Johnson, but by a smaller margin. Nixon/Hatfield, or...
  17. Retrospective US Presidential Election: 1988

    George H.W. Bush was the last reasonable GOP president. He never believed all that crap about Supply-side economics. (vodoo economics) He donated/supported planned parenthood. He signed the americans with disabilities act. He hiked taxes to close a budget deficit. The only thing I...
  18. Retrospective US Presidential Election: 1984

    I can see Nader doing well in 2000. We all know that Nader took just enough voters from Gore that he gave the state to Bush. I will seriously laugh if Gore throws the election to Bush by stealing votes from Nader! I know who I am going to vote for in 1988, 1992 and 2000. For 1996, 2004...
  19. Four More Years - The Presidency of Richard M. Nixon

    So we have the choices of Kennedy, Ashcroft, and Brown. I don't know whom I'll support. Voter turnout will be quite low due to the lack of good choices. Ashcroft was suprisingly liberal in some aspects: -He helped enact tougher standards and sentencing for gun crimes, increased funding...
  20. Mrs. Clinton Goes to Washington

    Once again, another great story. Keep up the great work The Conservative Fellah. I am of the opinion that had Hillary ran in 2004, she would have won, but unfortunately she chose not to. I am keeping up hope for HILLARY 2016!!!! I disagree that the media would laud Bush's replacement of...
