What Would You Do(WWYD)??
Edited on Mon Aug-18-03 09:44 PM by MiltonLeBerle
Throughout the years, the political parties have changed their stripes to some extent, back and forth, both within and between themselves...with that in mind-

Suppose that Joe Lieberman and the DLC brain-mistrust succeed in leading the Democratic Party to the fiscal/social conservative promisedland of business-friendly environment-

While at the same time, by some odd twist of the cosmos- something that starts with Arnold Schwartzeneger, Warren Buffet, Rob Lowe, Oprah, and whoever out in California ends up snowballing into a national movement that takes the Repukelican Party into a socially liberal, progressively-conservative fiscal/Environmentally-friendly direction?

Would you still call yourself a Democrat if the parties flipped on their respective axes(or do you say axii?)?

I'd stay with my ideals over "party affiliation"


edited to add: eco-friendly and my answer.

1. I know what I am,
a tree-hugging socialist, so I will belong to the party that is closest to my ideals.

2. No.
I'd stick with my ideals, not with party name.

3. After Nixon, Ford, Reagan, Bush and Bush
No matter what happened it would take me a long time to trust a Republican again.

6. I'm talking about a total sea-change-
that washes the neo-cons from the party(the ones that put the "puke" in repuke), and at the same time severs the ties with the military-industrial complex.
Ethical Business- something that's been pretty much always been a contradiction in terms.

7. and what would I do if monkeys flew out of my ass?
Have you seen the post from Will Pitt saying something's seriously wrong with DU?

Well this thread is a perfect example of it.

8. Why don't you see it as a completely legitimate question?
Edited on Mon Aug-18-03 10:57 PM by MiltonLeBerle
There's no ulterior motive here- I'm simply asking a question that's not a totally impossible albeit extremely unlikely scenario.
why do you wee it as some kind of threat, or something that's "seriously wrong with DU?"

10. Historically speaking, why is it a silly stupid question?
which party was most responsible for passage of civil rights legislation?
Could you have voted for Teddy Roosevelt? Abraham Lincoln.

why are you so closed/narrow-minded and downright hostile about discussing possibilities?
