I know Shawnee. n/p ( no offense taken )

I was just think'n.

How about a fiscally conservative minded party that is not in bed with lobbyists. How about a party for moderate social services with an emphasis on working. How about a party for small business and affordable health care. How about a party with discernment and wisdom to keep out of wars unless absolutely necessary. How about a party that doesn't pander to special interest groups. Whatever happened to self governing big business with ideals on a better future instead of the quick million/billion bucks.I wonder what party that would be called?

I don't think either party is what they were originally meant to be.

Your score is 1 on a scale of 1 to 10. You are a passionate and unyielding Democrat. You are appalled by the way Republicans are transforming America into a theocratic, corpo-fascist police state, and you'd walk across red America on a bed of red hot coals to elect a Democratic president. In your view, there is no higher form of patriotism than defending America against the Republican Party and every intolerant, puritanical, imperialistic greed-mongering, Constitution-shredding ideal for which it stands.
Heh! Guess they caught me on one of my non partisan days. :p

The Republican Loyalty Quiz
10 Questions to Test Your Allegiance to the GOP

It was funny. I am a poor Republican it would appear.

A-F letter grades. This is just where my chart is now. Obama should have a high grade for education and it has to be kept in mind that he has an actual not an imagined record.

Thats what I thought, but didn't want to guess.
I think your assessment is much the same as the Obama cartoon I posted awhile ago.

sorry griff...That it is your chart makes more sense. I thought Grav was getting a bit cerebral.

Long day yesterday, I missed the name just giving it a glance. I did read the chart itself though. *blush*
