Given a choice would you choose the Conservative/Republican ladder of opportunity with minimal Government interference?

-OR-

The Liberal/democrat rocking chair of stagnation with maximum Government interference in your life?

Many Americans are unwisely choosing the latter, where they are just a number, satisfied with mediocrity, circus's and welfare bread of Government HealthCare benevolence.

Does the Government owe you a living? Then move to a Socialist utopia like Cuba or Venezuela!

As for myself I don't want any Government limiting my dreams or opportunities or the dreams and opportunities of my children.

Choosing the ladder of opportunity you would vote Conservative.
Choosing the rocking chair of mediocrity you would vote Liberal.

Given the only two choices offered are simplistic, gross mischaracterizations I'll just claim to be a North American

Cries of socialism undermine the conservative platform. Take the time to actually research what socialism is and isn't.

Neither were intelligent, well reasoned choices, no surprise there

Just another sour grape harvest, nothing else to see.

Your model is wrong. The GOP favors govt. interference in what we read, think, how the wealth of this nation is distributed. Terri Shiavo anyone? Talk about govt. getting involved in a family decision. Abortion - a private decision (which I do not approve of) - which conservatives love to get involved in. Or how about the GOP deciding who it is proper to love and marry? The GOP loves to get involved.

Are you upset that your post was properly characterized???

No need to go into further details, but you either know what true liberals stand for or you are totally ignorant of what they stand for; so only you know which you are!!

A poll with silly options based on false premises.
