    Default Because of the recent debates....

    Are there any strippers that are Republicans?

    I would have been a Republican a few decades ago, but these days I'm more of a Libertarian. I'm not a member of the Libertarian Party and I actually identify more with the old school Republican Party, but modern Republicans have completely abandoned their base and are now corrupt, tax-and-spend liberals just like the Democrats. So I'm most likely to vote Libertarian whenever possible.

    Why do you ask?

    Ya know. I'm gonna sound real pathetic right here.

    I just don't know what I am. I would say I am nothing at all, but probably liberatarian, not that it would matter. I shun politics. I only voted for the first time last year to vote against the anti smoking ban, and it didnt help at all.

    Atleast half of the strippers I work with that I know are republicans. I'm kind of inbetween I guess, I don't consider myself either. I was raised a republican though. I'm also wondering why you ask?

    Your assessment of the GOP is dead on except that instead of tax and spend, they are borrow and spend.

    The current GOP is as disgusting as the Dems, just in different ways.

    I'm with you on your political leanings.

    You're absolutely right, that's a much better way to put it. Thank you.

    Although for some reason my own taxes have increased considerably under this administration.

    Basically, it's what the Republican Party SAYS they stand for but don't.

    Libertarians can be many different things. I really liked the Wikipedia explanation. I thought it was very fair to the principles of libertarianism. I have quite a history of libertarian activism. I finally dropped out of politics about 10 years ago. I still maintain that libertarian ideal. I just focus on utilizing it in different ways. Primarily the manner in which I deal with others.

    I would have to say I have become quite apolitical. Which in a sense is a basic libertarian principle.

    I think if more people knew what libertarianism was...AND more importantly if the leaders of the Libertarian party were more reasonable in their expectations about what they can do...MANY more people would BE Libertarians.

    Have a look at the Member Boards section- you'll find plenty of right-wingers.

    I think "libertarianism" is an overly fancy term for "common fucking sense."

    All political philosophies seem like plain old common sense to the people who subscribe to them.

    Yea while I was reading the description, I was wondering why more people aren't libertarian. Do you think it will ever grow into being one of the major parties?

    Don't know what party honestly. I just go with what I feel issue by issue as much as I can.
    Guy #1: I'd totally hit that.
    Guy #2: Dude, I'd hit that so hard whoever could pull me out would become the King of England.
