As a coin collector, should I be a Democrat or a Republican? Why?

    Democrat, because we're right and the Right is wrong. (Sorry, had to start the chaos)

    Personally, I don't think it matters.

    Even if one party is more "coin friendly" than the other, coin collecting doesn't even register as a public policy issue for me.

    Better watch it, you will get taxed without representation! If they can take you house, what do you think they can do to your coins!

    Personally, I don't think coins and politics mix very well.

    Numismatics has the beautiful ability to unite many diverse, talented, intelligent people who might otherwise share little else in common. Neither party offers any real direct advantage to being a collector. So why then dwell on OT differences?

    Coin collecting is of no importance to either party...unless a major party contributor is involved.

    FDR stole all the gold coins or at least the ones he could get his hands on. Was he a Dem or a Rep?image

    There's pretty little difference across the board except in rhetoric. There's even less difference when it comes to coins.

    You should be a Libertarian. And not just because you're a coin collector.

    Whichever one is in office, because the one in office passes bills to create commems to sell to collectors inorder to fund their pet projects and bring money into the government coffers.

    Whichever one thinks that being concerned with coin issues will get them more votes.

    Forget Republican or Democrat. Political cynicism representin'!

    Coins and politics????

    Republicans/Libertarians(for the most part): In God we Trust on U.S. coinage

    Democrats: Separation of God and U.S. Coinage


    edited to add: I was informed tonight of my loss of "thread carbon dating" and missed the fact that pharmer's post was from 2005...no big deal, right???

    If this was his/her only redeeming quality? Then no. If this was just icing on their cake, then fine. There are far too many important issues IMHO, than to base a vote on my hobby.

    << <i>Who would vote for a librarian potty? >>

    Bear- I would! My father is a librarian, in fact the director of a multicounty library system. His office is here in the public library building.

    Now, let's assume you are in the public library and you have to go potty. No woods around here, so you can't do the bear thing. (I hope you aren't one of those stupid Charmin bears, either).

    Suppose you're me- would you use the public restroom in a library, or would you go use Dad's private restroom in the executive offices?

    There you have it- I'll vote for a librarian potty anytime. Beats the heck out the public restroom.
