Economically Left-leaning men are wimps? New study.

[Coito ergo sum]

Isn't Arnie a leftie by American standards anyway?, at least Republican standards anyway

It depends what you mean as right and left. In the US neither our right or left is all that far right or left. We have a huge center. We tend not to have extremes in our Congress. We don't get neo-Nazi groups like in Austria and Hungary occupying healthy portions of our Congress.

Arnie is "right" but it's basically just "right of center" on most issues. He's probably left of center as a Republican, because of his stances on some social issues. He's more of a libertarian Republican, than a conservative Republican, I guess.

We have a very small socialist demographic here in the US, and we have a very small fascist contingent. That's one of the big complaints people have over here is that through all the caterwauling there ends up being little practical difference between the Democrats and Republicans. Really the differences are on taxes and abortion. Other than that, they even swap sides on issues, depending on who is in power and whose ox is being gored.

Same as Ireland. In fact I think in Ireland it's just one big centre

Be defensive all you want. The pro-gun lobby may have tiny tools, but the economic leftists, socialists, Democrats, Liberals, etc. --- little twerps, 98 pound weaklings -- pussies, the lot of ya!

Come and explain that to ME.

I read about a study from 3-4 years ago. In the US, men with daughters are significantly more likely to have liberal views then men without daughters.

So 15-20 years from now Coito will turn into a Democrat.

He's going to go soft, just as I predicted.

Well I'm happy to have this guy on my side.

One of the leading conservatives in Australia - Christopher Pyne:





And you should hear the little girly-man talk!

[pErvinalia]

And then there was one of the most beautiful moments in Australian politics when the former Labor opposition leader shook the hand of our poncey little conservative prime minister and looked like he was going to smash the crap out of him. And that Labor leader, was famous for breaking a taxi driver's arm.

[pErvinalia]

Oh, and one former Labor PM, Bob Hawke, was world champion beer skuller. He was in the Guiness Book of Records for the fastest skull!

[pErvinalia]

And Howard the conservative PM, tries to be blokey with the troops in Pakistan:

Thus I confound the trend!



Tremble at the mighty thews of Cardigan Man!
