Hitler was a liberal.

Hitler was not a liberal.

The National Socialist party was a far right-wing fascist organization.

A Little Secret About the Nazis (They were left-wing socialists like the modern left of today)

Opinions vary with shattered ideals.

"Right Wing" is more Libertarian with much less government flops & failures...

Better read your link and check the facts. There are so many contradictions it's ridiculous!

Nice try.......peddle your Neocon garbage elsewhere.

So you actually caught on. Yes they look like ordinary people. Because there is no stereotype when it comes to political affiliation. People are people and idiots are idiots that can look like ordinary people. They generally like to divide everyone up.

Did you expect something like this.

Sorry bub but that looks like my uncle.

Anyway I am not so sure thats been photoshopped hell I am not even sure which ralley or party that was at but either way like your thread it doesn't solve or help anything.

This isn't a solve or help anything thread. This is just to see what people imagine when they think of other people who have an opposing ideology. This is a thread about what people look like who have certain ideologies. While stereotypes aren't always accurate, they do work a lot of the time.

When I think of liberals, I think of people who look like hippies. Not all liberals look like hippies. But, that's what I think of. I'm interested in what liberals think of when they think of conservatives. I'm also interested in what other conservatives think of when they think of liberals. Or what libertarians think of when they think of either one.

You might say, "you can't judge a book by its cover". But, that's not always true. Judging a book by its cover, sometimes, is your best defense to keep you out of a dangerous situation. People's faces and clothes can tell stories about that person. Not always, but a lot of times.

I'm not trying to solve the world's problems here. I'm just interested in seeing what people imagine their opponents look like. If you don't want to play the game, then you're either off topic or not posting on this thread at all.

This one's for you:

"Sometime You can..." YES, so that cements My line that "ALL Indians walk single file, because the ONLY Indian I knew walked in a single file..." See, there is only One to count..

Your pic could be of a Yankee fan who is disgusted by the out of work guy behind Him blowing smoke in His face... Does the chain lead to a big Clock ala Flav-R-Flav?

Hows this? I didn't want to appear accusatory but Your math sucks. You don't KNOW ALL the opposing voters, so guess what? "They" look like 'You' in fact, "they" are YOU..

If You think Your beef is w/opposing voters than "they" have already WON!! Your beef is with POLITICIANS because "they" are the "THEM" You are looking for... Plus, taking Your beef up with the 'real Them' would be more productive than with folks You'll never meet...



You still didn't address the "Look of The Absentee Voter" How do You think 'they' look?

Good Luck this erection season.. You should be more up in arms that the U.S. Chamber of Commerce™ spent $100M in the 2012 Erection Season. That is great if Your business is Erections, crappy if You own a paint store...

Misdirected angst?

You still haven't posted your first on topic reply to the OP. So, you first.

Sorry Justin, but I'm a computer neophyte and don't know how to load a pic, heck I don't know what the 'star' and 'flag' means..

But being an optimist at heart, this season's erection season will be the best One yet. Instead of voter fraud and folks just voting for "their party" I'm hoping that they actually read about the candidates/proposals and not just the literature produced for and by that candidate..

I tried loading a pic for the thread about "if 2014 is actually the doomsday of 2012" (it received an 8/10 for "doom porn"...)

P.S. I just looked in the mirror and the voter that opposes Me, looks just like that handsome devil I saw looking back at Me...

PASTELS and POLOSHIRTS with WAY too overpriced purses and shoes. ...The women too.

I gave up trying to tell by looking and wait for them to speak. Anymore I avoid conversation at the first whiff.

While I don't have a stereotypical image in mind of any particular party, this is the image that comes to mind when I think of our current Congress:

Oh...this game. Sure, I can play this game.

It is completely out of the realm of possibility that I would ever vote for a liberal. I'll look at what they have to say, but I'm telling you right now, the majority of anything that any one of them says is going to be something I am against. Their ideology just isn't the same as mine. I developed my ideology in life and realized that there were like minded individuals out there and they were called, "conservatives". So I realized I was a conservative. I knew my values and then, after that, I learned there was a name for them. There are some things I disagree with conservatives on, but there is just about everything I disagree with liberals on.

So, I will be voting for my party because I already know there is no possible way that a liberal will believe what I believe. The question for me is, "which conservative candidate". That will be the candidate that believes in and stands for more of what I believe in and stand for. And, the one that I believe I can trust to carry out the conservative mission.

Yeah, I know Me typing this "appears" to be Me, the "other You", looking for the ever important 'last word' but I just wanted to wish You "Good Luck" this erection season. I hope it is everything You hope for. I hope each of Your candidates win. If You "win" then I "win"...

Some folks take an interest that reaches into "fandom" or too much of an 'attachment' The "die-hard fan" that sits and watches 'their team' in the 'big game'

The left are "black" and the right is "white". Not the colors...the chess pieces. In the beginning, two opponents were needed to play a game of chess. Both of the players were pretty much the same. They wanted power, control and money. They realized that milking the American people was a great job with the promise of everything they wanted. So these two identical individuals sat down and chose a color...black or white. Democrat or Republican. Chess pieces. They play as opponents, differentiated by color, or in reality...political beliefs and lies. But the truth is that while they are opponents...they are of the same mind-set, with the same goals, dead set on control and power.

In other words...they are both the same, they are both hurting the people and the country and they will continue to do so until someone ends the game. That is our job...the job of the people. Remove the government, congress, senate and president. They have failed at their reason for existing and have moved to take control of the country. It must end...or we will continue this neverending circle...eventually run out of gas and ultimately crash.

The states need to get on the bandwagon, realize this isn't working, recall ALL representatives and form a new government. The states, by majority can do just that! It is the only way...and I don't believe anyone can successfully argue differently. It is time for the people to take control of their own lives and country.
