David Cameron compares Tory social policies to Jesus...

[Katsuro]

...and then throws in some persecution complex for good measure:

I feel like I passed out and woke up fucking Alabama or something.  The persecuted Christians part is particularly rich comming from the leader of a country where a form of Christianity is the offical state religion and in which high ranking members of said church are given peerages to serve in the upper house of parliament for simply being high ranking members of that church.

And lets not forget the irony of the Tories comparing themselves to a man who was all about helping the poor and giving away all your riches.

I always knew Cameron was out of touch with realities of normal every day people and lived in his own little world, but I didn't realise he was this delusional.

If republicans hate socialism so much why do they like Jesus, the man supported universal healthcare and taxes for the rich, not to mention his habit of hanging out withdegenerates poor people.

He's not going to win the next election, is he?

He's not going to win the next election, is he?

I really, really hope he doesn't.  I'm tired of his patronising attitude towards the lower classes, his fuck-the-poor policies that he  tries to pretend are somehow helping people and of him embarrassing us infront of the rest of Europe.  We have enough fringe parties to do that, we don't need one of the big 3 parties to do it too thank you.  And we certainly don't need a PM who is so out of touch with the lives of normal every day people that he might as well be from another planet, especially in the economic climate of recent years.

WAIT, HE'S AN EUROPEAN POLITICIAN!?

You didn't know that?

Ironbite-even I knew that.

So sorry that happened. Nothing worse than a black-out drunken one night stand. Seriously, though, Cameron's gawdawful comments, yeah. Alabama indeed. Terrifying, isn't it? If there is a global conservative power grab, Murdoch, the Kochs and the like are to blame, and it would be interesting to see what social, business and lobbying connections Cameron has to such ilk. Massive, no doubt.

Yes, because all conservatives are classist shitheads, just like all liberals are naïve weaklings.

There are good conservatives and bad conservatives, just as there are good liberals and bad liberals.  I agree with Spuki, it's time we stopped making value judgments based on the political spectrum, and started judging them on the content of their character.

I am guessing you don't mean that Rupert Murdoch and the Koch brothers are anything but classist elitist power mad snobs, right? If you were possibly just then offended that I singled them out, then a quick read of their biographies would be a good idea. They most assuredly do not represent all conservatives, but just the extreme right power fringe.

No, I wasn't defending them.  They're assholes.

I would judge on individual character but the fact of the matter is that the political system has pretty much enforced a lock-step mentality. Hell, I bet there is more dissension in the ranks in the American House of Representatives than there is in Canada's House of Commons and I'll bet the British house isn't any better. The game is rigged; you step out of party lines and you loose all support, and without that support you don't get elected. Even if you do manage to somehow get elected one of the political parties controls the parliament so you're not going to get to advance your agenda without their consent.

"But at least he's not as boring as Gordon Brown."

No, seriously, I've actually heard some people use that defense.

Since there's no notion of confidence in the government in the American system, party discipline isn't particularly strong there, at least when voting directly on legislation. (On procedural matters, it's another thing entirely--look at Jim Traficant. In fact, the election of Speaker is the only vote in the Canadian House where party discipline cannot be enforced, while in the US House it's the only vote where party discipline is strictly enforced.) Even the British House doesn't have quite as strong a discipline system as the Canadian House by my understanding.
