If you could take one institution or one social program and make it so that the RW'ers could not touch it, what would it be?

Conservative

Social Security ,I guess
It kind of wins by default though because those f*cktards have ruined pretty much everything else already.

Rock & Roll music, movies and television programs....
...or anything else that Liberal culture has shared with them.

They can have military marching music and televangelism if they need to be entertained.

Oh- and that goes for any fashion that happened to be designed by "fags"-I suggest overalls.

32. Love, beautiful sunsets,
bouquets of fresh flowers, a child's laughter, the Mona Lisa, Beethoven's Fifth ......all the beautiful things in life. I realize these do not fall under any particular institution or social program but I am feeling rather ornery tonight and in fact I would like to add "chocolates" and "hot apple pie ala mode" to my list.

40. I would keep them away from everything.
At one point, I would have said, yep, let them control the defense programs and let dems control the social programs. Now, I say keep repukes away from everything. Everything they touch turns to shit, and not the flushable kind, unfortunately.

47. Stealing elections!
Edited on Fri Mar-10-06 08:19 AM by Apollo11
I agree with the person above who said the electoral process (aden_nak).

What we need is clean elections with fairness, accuracy and tranparency guaranteed at every stage of the process from voter registration to counting the votes.

Probably campaigns should be funded as fairly as possible - based on equal amounts of public funding plus small donations from citizens (not corporations).

Then alongside that it would be good to have a REAL "fair and balanced" mass media - with objective reporting and equal time for both sides of the case.

Then, when we have a level playing field, if the Republicans can keep winning elections then I won't like it - but at least I would be able to accept it.

If the Democrats cannot win a fair fight then maybe we don't deserve to be in government? If we can't convince 51% of the people to vote for our candidates then there must be something wrong with us: either our candidates, our message or how we communicate.
