I didn't make that up, you can check it out. It's a fact. If what you fear is conformity and collectivization then you need to really open your eyes to the brown shirt movement that is what the Republican party has become.
If there's dictatorship in the air, it's name is Bush/Cheney.
But for some reason all you kids have bee completely fooled and confused by the talk radio idiots.

Yes, it is. Once the constitutional limitations on government were breached the mob (majority) is now able to use the power of government to pick the pockets of minority. And the smallest minority is the individual. Social Security, graduated income tax, medicare, fuel economy standards, minimum wages and maximum flows for toilets all regulated by the federal government no longer limited by constitutional constraints.
The only thing that can now defeat the collectivist is to give them what they ask for. Once they've looted all there is they'll starve. Atlas will Shrug.

I agree.
I tire of being labeled conservative by liberals and liberal by conservatives. I am just as far from each, and rarely agree with other professed moderates. Hell, it is even rare for me to find someone else who is socially liberal/politically conservative/economically conservative that agrees with me on much when it comes down to actual policy, candidate selection, or intended direction for the country in 20 years. Forming your own beliefs is getting harder and harder as people try to not only pick their team, but try to identify everyone else's team for them (and it amounts to little more than teams in the realm of politics these days).

I think I heard through the grape-vine that Glenn Beck has recommended that everyone de-party and make the parties work for our votes...
I do think, however, that as long as it looks like socialism v. capitalism, Republican is the only way I can go.
Particularly since Hillary is on the table, I think third party is asking for her to be elected.

No, I think more and more people are getting tired of the corruption in both parties. I think in 2008 there will be many more people voting for a third-party candidate.

Yes it is. In today's climate, you either are 100% behind Bush OR a liberal according to the neo-cons

Absolutely not. Unless of course you're a Socialist or a Demacrat or both.
