Interesting thoughts....

Blogfucious says....
1. One's political party really says nothing about one's politics.
a. "Conservative" v. "Liberal" certainly after the past 8 years "conservative" can't possibly mean smaller government and less spending right? Which party is for smaller government again? which is for less taxes? seing as though this bailout is tax payer money no? I'm confused.

2. One's religious affiliations say nothing about one's actual morals.
a. Would think there are plenty of examples of religious figures gone bad.

3. One's 'stated position' on abortion says nothing about one's actual value placed on a human life.
a. Would think more innocent lives have died under pro-life Bush than under pro-choice Clinton when factoring in wars, executions, and intangibles like poverty, etc.,no?

4. A person I know said they're voting republican because he likes their morals more.
a. Then I recalled 'immoral' Clinton being prosecuted by Newt while Newt Gingrich himself was having an 'immoral' affair. Would think it's not wise in general to look towards the government for moral guidance regardless of "party" affiliation.

Hence, vote for the person and not the baseless, meritless, and essentially meaningless party label, or whatever that really means these days anyway? What is which and which is what again?

Then I hear that Obama is being chided for his 'socialist' views... I wonder what those people call what's going on now. I.e. government buying companies and banks. Just curious.

Even without stating my own positions on the aforementioned topics - some perceptions out there make me scratch my head.
