I doubt it would be a problem, as there would be repubs who varied in degree's, from the left to the right. It just wouldn't be quite as far left as the libs are now.

I saw a black man on TV a few years ago, during the pre-election crap. He was saying that 85 to 90 % of blacks were Democrats and that it wasn't right, as blacks should be no different than the rest of America and that they should be about 50/50. He also mentioned that every ghetto area was represented by a Democrat. And had been for 50 years, at least.

Kind of like the Rez, up here.

Funny, things ain't getting any better on the Rez and it don't sound like it's getting any better in the ghetto's, so maybe they ought to switch sides and see if it would help! :shock:

Dont get suckered by labels. Example Democrats in WY are more conservative than Republicans in other states. Wy is actually about one of the best states in the union. No State tax but yet they have budjet surpluses with no dept.
Residents get State subsidized healthcare if I remember right. Its been years since I was down there so I will talk about Canada instead.
Liberals in Alberta are more Conservative than Conservatives in eastern provinces. Labels mean nothing, it all depends on what part of the country your in.
I think it makes more sense to ask why do some States and Provinces prosper while others are a wreck. Compare Wy to MT, SD or LA. Why is there such a big difference in the standard of living and opportunities?
Compare AB to the rest of the country?And dont just brush it off as "oil" money because it darn well isnt.

Glad to see you are back, Roper AB. And with a thought-provoking
post.

We're from Wyoming, don't know about the health-care you mentioned (never heard of it) but Wyoming does run a fiscally responsible state.
I have no idea why Montana hasn't paid more attention to what Wyoming
does. They are as different as day and night with their government.
Restrict business mostly. Too many environmentalists. Wyoming
uses their natural resources. Wyoming also has the right-to-work law.
But don't kid yourself, the workers there get paid well.

All the fish and game fines go to the schools.

Not sure how you count out the oil production in alberta as not being a huge part of Alberta'gross product.....I know the mine up in fort mcmurry employs directly or in-directly a good chunk of the northern Aera...I think banff and jasper have always attracted tourists.....and the cost of living is not so good in Calgary any more as it once was.....I would say most of Alberta's money comes from its land no matter how you look at it..Not a whole lot of software companies or other than oil companies head offices in Alberta..why do you think sask,manitobia are not fairing as well.....they dont have the natural resources to compare to Alberta...Maybe when water becomes more valuble oth provinces will do better......Oh I suspect the beef market is well there too in Alberta but that too is also land base....I do agree on your labeling of poli parties comments ,there you are bang on.

Roper, with all the bragging you are doing about Alberta, are you saying that Alberta is the "Texas" of Canada?

I think it would be more correct to say that Texas is the "Alberta" of the US :wink:

No, my apologies to you. Now that I think about it, someone retarded like you was probably actually serious when they created this topic. To change any words around probably totally blew your mind. I can only imagine you rocking back and forth, while pulling your hair out...instead of getting your shelf stocking done.

Nonothing asked a good question.

I don't see many have been able to answer him though.....that alone says something. Most of the time has been spent bashing the poster of this thread and avoiding the answer.


We haven't heard the Conservative theme song or anything here.


Come on you Conservatives...how would you make life better if you were in control of EVERYTHING??

This is not to put nonothing down, but it is somewhat of an absurd and asinine question. It is like asking, "what would you do if the sun didn't come up some morning?" or "what would it be like if Eve hadn't messed with Adam's mind and screwed up the Garden of Eden?" There is no answer, because it ain't gonna happen.

Sure the obvious answer would be, "It would be Utopia." But that will never be, because it is not a perfect world. Even among the Republican ranks, there will always be dipsticks like Mark Foley who masquerade as conservatives, but are wolves in sheeps' clothing.

As others have already pointed out, if there were only "conservative" ideals, there would still be varying degrees of conservatism. The extremes would still represent as much difference as there is now between Republicans and Democrats. Some would still do the lion's share of the work, and some would always want "something for nothing" just as they do now.

nonothing, it is a thoughtful question, but it is just a "Pie in the Sky" theory question with no real answer.
