They say it isn't a party. They say they have no agenda, except to get the majority opinion truthfully represented. But it could all be just more propaganda, for all I know. Time will tell. 새옹지마.

You had me at "personal finances", since the GOP is a secret Mammon cult.

We all know that they regard all that came after that as a waste of good money, unless they can arrange for somebody else to pay the taxes that will fund those, and there's tangible personal benefit for them.

I'm a registered Dem who would never ever vote Republican or other conservative, though I've no qualms about straying from the Democrats. I tend to vote for lesser evils as well as I'm never truly thrilled with any of the choices.

Ah, then. That should work out for you just dandy, as long as you're already the head of a multi-billion corporation. :tup:

Yeah. That's like saying that I make two and a half million KRW/mo, before extras. I don't get much attention from presidential candidates. I'm guessing you get about as much?

You make more than twice my income. Not surprising given you've got a half decent job.

It was a fully decent job before I got my hands on it. :coffee:

There are conservative Democrats, point of fact.

The non-merkins can, of course, play by picking the party that they think they would support, were they merkin.

Huxley's suggestion of the royalists is well taken. We may well need a good monarch to set things right. Look what Caesar did for Rome, after all.
