Interesting approach to a problem

[Guest 6.8 AR]

Sometimes is very difficult to think things through to their logical conclusion, but the following makes sense?

Brilliant in its Simplicity

A. Back off and let those men who want to marry men, marry men.

B. Allow those women who want to marry women, marry women.

C. Allow those folks who want to abort their babies, abort their babies.

D. In three generations, there will be no Democrats.

Man - I love it when a plan comes together

Sure there will. The Republicans keep making new ones

funny as can be, but alas, the rapid breeding program in various, ahem, "ethnic districs" alone are sufficient to repopulate the species.

Your premise is flawed. You presuppose that having all Republicans is better than any Democrats. I'll take ONE Democrat like Zell Miller over a thousand Republicans like Mitt Romeny. I don't vote by political party. I vote by candidate.

Hi 6.8

I know yer joking, but if the R's would go thataway it could cut the legs off the D party within only a few years. Many of the gays and lesbians are hard-working and tend to have incomes which make them "natural fiscal conservatives" who are currently "married" to the D party merely because of their pet single-issue concern. Just like many gun owners who might otherwise tend democrat, are "married" to the R party over a single issue.

It is the same deal with abortion. The voters who tend to single-issue vote D because of abortion are in income brackets which would make them "natural fiscal conservatives" if you remove the abortion issue that drives them to the D's.

Remove those rationales for middle-class single-issue voters, and it would take a few years for them to start re-thinking political alliances, but they would eventually start voting on taxes and regulations rather than their pet social issue. Even if a few percent would switch sides, it would spoil the D vs R almost equal stalemate we have had for many years. You don't have to wait generations.

The question is whether the single-issue would work both ways. Perhaps there are just as many R's who are "natural socialists" but are married to the R party merely because of single-issue anti-abortion or single-issue homophobia. So possibly by taking those issues off the table, the D's might gain just as many single-issue R's as they lose single-issue D's. Dunno.

If some party would just concentrate on gov fiscal responsibility and "I don't care" on any other issue, it would be a winning combination IMO.

Ethic? Naw. Ban contraception and abortion, and it's gonna be raining little Democrats of all colors.

Here's a piece by James Taranto, one of the editorial staff at the WSJ. He got some attention for a similar hypothesis a couple of years ago.

The Roe Effect

Yeh, it was a joke email I got. I thought it was just funny.

Of course someone will probably use that same line of thinking,

substitute parties, since there is a "Lincoln Log Republicans"

or something like that.

It is already here.

Except for Camacho really being on the ticket. I like that guy

My premise was not stated, 1gewehr. I would take as you mentioned any day of the week.

i simply thought it was a funny email. I don't stay in serious mode all of the time.

I got it!
