18:57.23GateRedHeron: hello
18:57.29RedHeronHiya.
18:57.35RedHeronHow it goes?
18:57.56Gatepretty good
18:58.11GateAs per our conversation I did a little more research into Obama
18:58.24RedHeronCool.
18:58.37Gateand all it did was clarify this: The choice between Hillary and Obama is a choice between a tyrant and a socialist
18:58.52Gatein order.
18:59.02GateBut it did confirm Obama > Clinton
18:59.03RedHeronHow do you figure Obama to be a socialist?
18:59.20Gatelook at his proposals
18:59.20RedHeronI have.
18:59.21RedHeronSeveral times, as a matter of fact.
18:59.41RedHeronAnd being that I'm against socialism, I am seriously trying to see it.
19:01.54RedHeronClinton is a socialist, hands-down.
19:02.04RedHeronShe borders on communist, actually.
19:02.07GateHe is less of a tyrant than Hillary though. But he still doesn't seem to believe in free market, he believes in compulsory health care (but to a lesser degree than Clinton)
19:02.21RedHeronCompulsory health care?
19:02.35RedHeronHave you even bothered to read that proposal all the way through?
19:02.53RedHeronAnd how does he not believe in a free market?
19:03.56Gateno, I listened to what *he* said about it
19:05.16RedHeronHe said that mandating healthcare would be counter to the aims of a free and democratic society.
19:05.36RedHeronObama said that in like November, and repeated it in December.
19:06.13Gateand yet he mandates it for children according to his own statement
19:07.15RedHeronIt's still something that parents can choose.
19:07.21RedHeronWhat's written is what the plan is.
19:07.28RedHeronBecause that's "in writing".
19:07.57RedHeronAnd there haven't been significant changes made to the content (other than layout) since August, when I began looking.
19:08.12RedHeronThough there are new sections as issues have cropped up.
19:10.20GateHe supports government fingers further in K-12 education (just so our *wonderful* bureaucracy can improve it more, obviously NCLB was a good idea, he just says it was executed poorly)
19:10.51GateRealize that I think the only difference between most Republicans and the Democrats is the severity of their socialism
19:11.15RedHeronMeh. I'm home-schooling anyway, so I haven't paid attention to that. Public schooling has always been a complete sham and so long as public funds go to public schools we're locked in the same mess we've always been in since its inception.
19:11.23Gatemuch of what our government is becoming and has become over the last 50 odd years is socialist
19:12.25Gateand that is a socialist problem. As is Social Security, Medicare and a host of the other economic problems the US faces
19:12.25RedHeronI tend to agree with that, Gate, though I disagree that this is what Obama is standing for.
19:12.25RedHeronThe first statement, that is.
19:12.49RedHeronThe second statement is one that shows you haven't listened to Obama, you've been too worried about picking speeches apart.
19:13.12RedHeronObama's said that "if these programs don't work, and can't be fixed, they should be done away with."
19:13.45GateBut is plans say that he honestly thinks they can be fixed and should be
19:13.51Gatein effect, anyway
19:14.05RedHeronI should point out that both their lack of specific functionality and their fixability have been utter failures in the past.
19:14.37*** join/#ubuntu-us-ut kkubasik (n=kkubasik@166-70-191-1.ip.xmission.com)
19:15.45RedHeronHe's said he'll give them honest study to see if they can be fixed, and if they can, they should... but every time they've been tried to be "fixed" in the past 30-odd years, it works for a year or less and is worse than before.
19:16.15RedHeronThat's not "fixed" according to definition in any use of the word.
19:20.28RedHeronOn to the "anti-free-market" statement?
19:24.09GateAccording to what he has said he believes that the current sub-prime mortgage crisis is a direct effect of "lack of oversight" from the government and that it can be fixed with more government meddling
19:25.33Gateagain, to a far less tyrannical degree than his opponent, still he believes, despite its record, that our bureaucracy can fix this problem.
19:26.08GateI think the FED is one of the biggest problems our economy has
19:26.42Gategiving it more power and more control will only result in a further collapse of the dollar
19:30.47RedHeronObama's also the only one listening to advice from the general population.
19:32.16GateBTW, to put my opinions in perspective: Clinton= Tyrant Socialist , Obama=Socialist, McCain=Atrocity against free speech among other things, Giuliani=dirtbag
19:32.31Gatethe list goes on
19:32.35RedHeronPaul=Liar?
19:32.46RedHeronPaul is a power-grabbing fascist.
19:32.52Gateno, Paul=nuts
19:33.40RedHeronWho is against anti-censorship legislation which would ultimately serve to keep corporations from doing things that our government isn't already allowed to do.
19:33.45Gatethe problem is that Paul is probably talking complete bulls***t and I realize that, but it is the only bulls***t that comes even close to something I desire.
19:34.06RedHeronI can't support someone I think is lying.
19:34.15RedHeronThe lesser of two evils is still evil.
19:34.18Gatethey are ALL lying
19:34.30RedHeronObama has a track record that says otherwise.
19:34.38Gateit is the nature of politics. they are ALL dirtbags
19:34.57RedHeronAnd he is the *ONLY* one who has a track record that says he's sincere.
19:35.21Gateheh, a track record of 4 years?
19:35.29RedHeron12 years, actually.
19:35.53RedHeronIncluding his time in the state senate in Illinois.
19:36.02RedHeron16 if we count his time at the HLR.
19:36.04Gateah
19:36.57RedHeronThat's a *long* time for anything political.
19:37.17RedHeronAnd being "unchanging" is not nearly as useful as being "educatable for the right reasons".
19:37.34GateRedHeron: I do not bang anyone for changing their mind
19:37.42RedHeronRon Paul does.
19:37.52RedHeronClinton does.
19:37.57GateI consider myself something of a scientist, changing your mind is neccecary
19:38.07RedHeronI agree with that statement.
19:38.24RedHeronBut only if the evidence supports it.
19:38.24GateI think we have expressed that Clinton is a Stalin waiting to happen
19:38.35RedHeronI think we're in agreement on that point.
19:39.04GateSo McCain, I think McCain Feingold says it all, frankly
19:39.11RedHeronHeh.
19:39.43RedHeronSays what, exactly?
19:40.30Gaterepresses the ability for any organization excepting the news from running ads about federal candidates 60 days before an election
19:40.39Gatea direct attack on free speech.
19:40.58RedHeronIs there a wonder why I can't support McCain.
19:48.50GateAnyway, the only candidate who appeals to me at all is Ron Paul, with the full realization that he is either bat s***t nuts or bulls***ting, he is the only one who talks about the things I care about and in the direction I want to see them go. Civil liberties being foremost among them.
19:49.52GateObama is the lesser of evils on the Democratic side, I believe.
19:52.17herloRon Paul is not going to win
20:15.58GateI know
20:26.00Gate"A democracy will vote away its freedoms"\
