I'm tired of this assault weapons ban. Every American citizen should be able to own an HK-MP5 SMG if they so desired.

[hypnotique]

^And they should be able to do it with donkeys.

[*Steven*]

Even though I'm a conservative, I think I'm going to vote for Obama in the democratic primary in hopes of Hilary not getting the nomination.

[fameONE]

No, Diana. No donkeys.

[hypnotique]

I was kidding.

Though I think that Porn should be available to anyone 16 and over.

That's what I'm encouraging people to do.
(By people, I mean family members who rely on me for political information. I'm still trying to get my friends to register to vote.)

Some girls that I go to school with want Hillary to be the next president because she is a woman. That's not a very good reason to want someone to lead your country...

[brooklyneast05]

or a very good reason to not want someone to run your country

I'm not a conservative, but regardless, this is exactly what I intend on doing.

[brooklyneast05]

Ok, but is that the ONLY reason why you'd want her for president? I mean seriously, is it?

My mom is the entire opposite. She DOESN'T want Clinton in office BECAUSE she is a woman.

Oi.

I often find it difficult to define my political views, and I'm very careful about choosing a party affiliation. My friend, who is a Master's Student at George Washington U., and I had a long conversation (combine 80% of the topics in the debate forum), had a talk about stances on certain issues.

-I like guns
-War is never a necessity, especially when the motives are as shady as this one, but if you find yourself in one, dominate mercilessly (which the US isn't doing)
-Death penalty fine by me, just have your facts straight. Set a precedence and be consistent.
-No, no, abortion; but it's a case-sensitive, woman's choice
-Tax the rich, and give to the poor, but not too much, because people take handouts for granted
-No child left behind? Focus less on standardized testing and more on well-rounded curriculum
-Help the poor and starving your own country before you help others. You can lend a hand if yours is broken
-Morals? America is about making money.
-Church.................................State. Keep it that way. America is a melting pot of cultures, don't impose a single lifestyle on everyone.
-the list goes on

I fluctuate from conservative to liberal, based off that list, but I feel as though policy needs to be considered with a level head, while putting common sense into effect.

[LoveToMySilas]

wow, thats interesting. I haven't gotten a chance to read all of them but heres my opinion on some of the issues so far:

-Abortion, it shouldn't be the state's choice, it should be the mothers. So they should stay out of it.
-First of all, immigrant are what made up America to begin with so I don't know why they're trying to enforce laws to prevent them to come here.
-Let people marry who they want, who cares if they're straight or gay? There are just as many gays as there are straigt.
-I'm glad they're trying to do something about the energy consumption or else we're gonna be using candles pretty soon.

Now I'm off to read the rest!

Sorry I think we should take away peoples ability to vote if their only reason is "shes a woman" "hes black" "hes a catholic jew".

There needs to be more backbone as to why you are electing that official other then that.Remember this is your leader for up to 8 years.

This site gives you a brief quiz about certain hot button political issues. Based on your answers, it calculates which candidate suits your requirements.

To no surprise, I got Barack Obama, and Hilary Clinton was pretty far down the list.

[*Steven*]

Brandon I share very similar views as yourself. I am also very much against the Kyoto Protocol. What about yourself?

[*CowerPointyObjects*]

Diana, what's a Catholic Jew? :D
I also think people do need to remember that a the candidates are only running for a 4 year term. If the president does a bad job, he (or she) should lose the next election...but since we ended up with 2 terms of Bush...eh.

I've taken tons of candidate/ideology quizzes before, but I generally get Kucinich. Given that he's out of the race now, though, I got Obama on this one. Hilary was one point behind. Then Giuliani and Gravel were tied behind them...which is odd. Then Paul, Romney, McCain, Huckabee (since I already named off half my results).
That link doesn't actually work, by the way.

Hai.

Pardon the outburst of coonery, but f**k the UNFCC. In order for every city in the country to be as clean as Kyoto, we'd become an Aldous Huxley novel. Tree huggin' f*gs. /coonery

Woot. I love how it excludes China and India, because they're clean.

Of course they are. Those countries are the poster children for the environment-friendly! How dare you compare cleanliness to third world population density.
