Excellent post Roper,very true!!RoperAB said: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.

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 said:Cal said:If all the people of the US were Democrats.....What would the country be like todaynonothing said:If all the people of the US were republicans.....What would the country be like today

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.
