You know Johnny D's a closet conservative. He's too smart to be a Massachusetts liberal.

Conservatism is not about leaving people behind. Conservatism is about empowering people to catch up, to give them tools at their disposal that make it possible for them to access all the hope, all the promise, all the opportunity that America offers. - Marco Rubio

Thanks FB!

I can't agree with RIJimmy's post more. Amongst my friends, most of which are in their late 20s, few can really tell you what benefits the candidate the *voted for* will bring to the table.

It's interesting how many times I've said things along the lines of "we need someone what will support small businesses, reduce unconditional welfare handouts, or get more money into education", them agree with me and then learn that they voted for the exact opposite.

If people are going to vote, I'd rather them be educated about what they're voting for compared to who they thing they're voting for.

Hey JohnnyD...have you heard this somewhere before???

Three-fourths of the Earth's surface is water, and one-fourth is land. It is quite clear that the good Lord intended us to spend triple the amount of time fishing as taking care of the lawn.

I obviously need to start working harder at suppressing my evil (read: conservative) side.

Actually JD, if you "work hard" you'll be suppressing your other ( read: liberal ) side
