And again Kev, when you say the "GOP", yes, they have been in lock step with the left on far too many things in the last several election cycles. Maybe I should have said, " going forward, with the candidates before us",Kev3188 said:
Who would be better at those issues.
To me, it's not even close which set of candidates would do more of those items listed, and again, those are the things this country was founded on, not Socislism, or whatever the hell Hillary is trying to couch herself as.

Well we can scratch "free market" off that list since none exist.Traymark said:
Personal freedom(s)-Sanders
Size of government- None. No one'll shrink it; it'll be more a question of when the expenditures go.
Taxes- See above.
Private property rights- dealers choice. I don't see them being fundamentally affected one way or the other after January...
Free markets:Kev3188 said:
They still exist, but they won't with Bernie
Personal freedoms: I damn near spit up my lunch when I read "sanders", you would need to buttress that with some evidence, when he wants to confiscate incomes to do as he wishes with.
Taxes:
See above
Private property rights:
Democrats are for eliminating them wherever possible. This is one issue Republicsns have better on, but less so lately, hence the voting revolution you are seeing in the primary.

There is no such thing as a free market. It simply doesn't exist, nor will it regardless of who moves into 1600 Penn.
As for personal freedom, we must have two very different definitions; from where I sit, the right is much more intrusive than progressives are.

Back to Bernie.
Bernie is a self professed Democratic Socialist.
So many conservatives seem to have problems with the idea of any Social or Socialist programs and yet the USA is loaded to bear with them.
Social Security. Do conservatives have any problem collecting the money in that program when they retire? I think not.
Medicare
AARP discounts
Homestead exemptions and senior citizen discounts.
Unemployment insurance. If the conservative loses his or her job will they refuse that benefit?
Food stamps. How many self proclaimed conservatives who work in Walmart are refusing that benefit? Another one that Joe and Jill taxpayer contribute to?
Welfare. Are there people collecting this benefit who have voted Republican? Of course there are.
Police, Fireman and the Garbage collector. Those payments all come from our taxes. That is a Social benefit that we pay for. If your house catches fire and the Firemen save your house they aren't looking for you to write a check for those services. You don't look in the phone book to find the best rate for the Fire Extinguishing company.
Now take away all these items including the Cheese Wheel you get from the food bank if you are completely desperate and what do you think would happen here in the good old US of A?
SERIOUS ANARCHY.
Oh and if you Conservatives shot and killed someone trying to get your food in this Society you dream of, there would be no one coming to collect the body. You would need to dispose of it yourself unless you can stand the smell.

Private property rights? Lol. Do you own the land or just the house it sits on? And do you actually own that abode or does JP Morgan actually own it?Traymark said:
Oh and the Local Government wants your land to put up a strip mall or highway and you refuse to sell (If you actually own the land)
Eminent Domain. GET OUT!!!!!!
I love the illusions people actually have about life. Quite amusing.

Social security is a program you pay in with your own money. Money that you are deserved of when withdrawal is needed. It's is not a true social program. Just because you think it has the same word, doesn't mean it has the same meaning.WeAAsles said:
