-- Posted by Astraea on my Arm at 6:22 pm on June 18, 2007 Am I all alone out there? -- Posted by beneatsfood at 6:22 pm on June 18, 2007 yes. go home. -- Posted by osmoticdespair at 6:23 pm on June 18, 2007 monarchism ftw! -- Posted by Astraea on my Arm at 6:23 pm on June 18, 2007 Ah, the bitter liberal, I assume? -- Posted by Astraea on my Arm at 6:23 pm on June 18, 2007 To mister Ben I direct that. -- Posted by Sitora Sage at 6:23 pm on June 18, 2007 [College Democrat] :) -- Posted by barnabas at 6:24 pm on June 18, 2007 Im kind of a republican -- Posted by Astraea on my Arm at 6:25 pm on June 18, 2007 Yeah, I'm a kind of a republican too, the worst kind, a libertarian leaning republican. Haha! -- Posted by beneatsfood at 6:27 pm on June 18, 2007 Quote: from Astraea on my Arm at 6:23 pm on June 18, 2007 To mister Ben I direct that. supporting GWB's butt-buddy relationships with the oil companies for sky-high gas prices is cool.. right? big business destroys economies. ex: the great depression. GG -- Posted by memi2190 at 6:40 pm on June 18, 2007 im an independent -- Posted by Kayling at 11:39 pm on June 18, 2007 College Democrat instead. :D -- Posted by Astraea on my Arm at 6:36 am on June 20, 2007 The great depression was caused by Keynesian economics, buddy, it was WWII that saved our asses. War is generally great for the economy. And if you really think that they're the ones fucking with our oil, you are one misguided sob. -- Posted by osmoticdespair at 7:35 pm on June 20, 2007 Quote: from Astraea on my Arm at 2:36 pm on June 20, 2007 War is generally great for the economy. this statement is an example of keyensian economics -- Posted by Astraea on my Arm at 9:53 pm on June 20, 2007 That's a statement generally accepted by most economic theories, too. The difference, is that during a war, production is extremely high, meaning more jobs. Keynesian economics screws us, b/c they're taking money from us, then giving it right back, when no one has jobs to pay taxes in to begin with. During a depression anyway. The market will always fix itself, because the market is not stupid. A broken market means no money for anyone. -- Posted by osmoticdespair at 10:01 pm on June 20, 2007 during a war production is high because people have decided on high production in order to win the war keyensian interventions are the same, to deliberatly increase production on credit if nessecary in order to have artificially high employment the problem is on credit this cannot be kept up indefinatly - hence the famous statement of "in the long run we're all dead" -- Posted by dreamweaver at 2:24 am on July 8, 2007 To be honest, the Republicans dont project all that I believe in... neither does the Democrats. I'm more moderate than anything else.  I vote for the best candidate I think is for the job- not what party they associate themselves with. -- Posted by ballerdorm at 11:59 pm on July 8, 2007 Join only if you are really passionate.  You can't put it on your resume. -- Posted by Poker Shark at 12:14 am on July 9, 2007 No. -- Posted by holysaiyan1 at 7:11 pm on July 14, 2007 Go to a meeting if you think you might be interested in it.  Some clubs have parties afterward, I know mine does, and they are fun.  Really laid-back, because we have kind of an unofficial no-politics rule for the socials: save club stuff for the club, save party stuff for the party.  It really helps new members, so that they see we're real people.  I made a lot of great friends, and I have a fun time.   People might give you a hard time, my friends just joke about "oh he's going to his baby-eaters meeting" but I just take it in stride.   Don't worry about what other people think, just do what you want to do. -- Posted by obvious child at 1:29 am on July 16, 2007 Quote: from Astraea on my Arm at 3:22 pm on June 18, 2007 Am I all alone out there? You're telling us we should join a loose association of clubs that believes it is Conservative yet practices and supports outright liberal behaviors by the GOP and fails to notice how it's being hypocritical when it criticizes the democrats for the same behavior? My college republican group said Bush was a Conservative. That's a sure fire way to admit your club is as dumb as brick wall and can't figure out he's a liberal. I have a brain, therefore I refuse to join your idiotic association. -- Posted by latric3 at 1:23 am on July 31, 2007 Nope Very liberal, Republicans are too pushy from the ones I know, plus I've never seen a redneck democrat, so I'll stay where I am. -- Posted by OtentikStreet Brothe at 8:32 am on Oct. 12, 2007 no.. -- Posted by TheOtherHorseman at 10:07 am on Oct. 12, 2007 Anyone who would join a college club centered on a political party is too partisan to associate with. -- Posted by obvious child at 5:29 pm on Oct. 22, 2007 Quote: from Astraea on my Arm at 3:36 am on June 20, 2007 The great depression was caused by Keynesian economics, buddy, it was WWII that saved our asses. War is generally great for the economy. And if you really think that they're the ones fucking with our oil, you are one misguided sob. No it wasn't. The great depression was caused by a number of factors irrelevant to Kensysian economics. One of the worst was Hoover's raising of taxes and lowering of spending the exact antithesis of kenysian economics. And yes they are partially fucking with our oil. -- Posted by SilverClover at 3:12 am on Nov. 17, 2007 I'm in college progressive organizations. I don't think we even have a College Republicans here (small-ish school and we ALL know who the Republicans are) and the College Democrats are ineffective and focus too much on political campaigns (which is good every once in a while) than issues based movements. -- Posted by smartlake at 3:11 pm on Dec. 5, 2007 Quote: from dreamweaver at 2:24 am on July 8, 2007 To be honest, the Republicans dont project all that I believe in... neither does the Democrats.
