Republican climbers

[rodriguez]

Hey, found your little online climbing community after someone linked an image from my website.

 

Used to be bit of a climber myself and I still get out a bit. after reading these forums I see there a few Republican climbers that post here. Pretty unusual! Almost all the climbers i know are pretty liberal, and in fact the few conservative climbers I know are total pussies. I know I'm going to be on the sharp end if I go climbing with them, and they well enough to keep their mouths shut about politics when we're out climbing.

 

And when you're talking about the top climbers of the world, they're pretty much all liberal thinkers. I can't think of one top climber who might be considered a conservative,maybe Twight, but he is all talk anyway, just like a conservative.

 

I was just thinking about why this is...it is probably because climbers get closer to the Earth Mother Gaia. The more time you spend with her, the more you realize how important the connect is with nature and you stop wanting to drill, mine, and otherwise rape her.

 

Anyways, a little food for thought. Racking up for a big 3 week trip next week. See ya in the hills.

Someone had to preserve it as a quote!

 

Hola Rodriguez.

 

Welcome to our community of peace and love. What I've noted is that the way folks talk to each other online would often warrant a major ass kicking or at least an immediate punch in the mouth if they were to speak that way directly to another over a campfire. However, with the distance of the internet and the anonymity it brings comes a certain snarkyness and meanness of tone which is difficult to lay down on words. It doesn't have anything to do with Dems and repubs though, I suspect thats an age thing.

 

 

Anyway, welcome to the site. Hey, what about the wafflers who cannot decide between Obama and McCain? Are they good climbers or bad? Or maybe they have good and bad days?

 

Just asking.

What if you support candidates like this one?

 

'Bunco' Bob Kelly

 

What kind of climber are you if you only vote for folks like him.

Where the fuck do these people come from?
