Apolyton Roll Call

[Ned]

Republican

However, if the Democrats had FDR and JFK while the Republicans had Richard Nixon and Gerald Ford, I probably would be a Democrat.

The major problems I have with Democrats today is their pacifism and their socialistic/class warfare tendencies. So long as they remain against freeing the world of dictators like Saddam and so long as they continue to use class warfare rhetoric in order to impose socialism on United States, Democrats will never get my vote. In my view, a significant percentage of the national Democratic Party are not liberals in the classical sense. They are socialists.

However, there are exceptions.

[Clear Skies]

Socialist. Well, i'm a social liberal. But close enough.

[Amesjustin]

I have never met a party which I agreed with enough to join. I have voted Democrat, Republican, Green, Libertarian, Reform, and Independant. More often than not Democrat.

I hate George Bush. Not so much for the war, which would have happened at some point anyway, so much as the fact that I resent a spoiled moron representing my country.

I believe the biggest duty every citizen of Earth has is to protect the environment.

I see no reason for non-military citizens to have guns.

I strongly believe in personal accountability - with the exception of the injured, elderly, and mentally handicapped unemployment should be limited to 6 months for your lifetime.

I feel that any drug which is addictive and has no medicinal value should be illegal (including alcohol, tobacco, caffeine). I believe that any drug which is not physically addictive should be legalized (marijuana, LSD, peyote, shrooms) and heavily regulated. Any person caught driving under the influences of these drugs should get at least 5 years in prison. And no, I don't do any of these drugs, and in fact am a severe caffeine addict.

I see no reason for any activity which cannot possibly hurt other people should be illegal. Morality should be completely seperate from the law. This includes any kind of consentual sex between two adults of full mental capacity, gay marriages, polygamy, etc. Not that I condone all of these, I just strongly feel that morality has no place in the law. It is wrong to lie to your loved ones, but should never be illegal.

There is more, but my fingers are tired and chances are most of you who started to read this have fallen asleep by now.

I'm in a similiar rut as Nationalist in that my neo-fascist, somewhat Populist views are not adequetely represented in mainstream politics. I got the added problem of those few who have my politics beliefs or something similiar being borderline racists and rural, compared to my black and puerto rican-'loving' urban arse... it's interesting though that except for racial issues, most racial minorities I know (which is 90% of the people i know) are pretty damn conservative on non-racial issues. It's irksome that the Republicans do not even try to tap into this minority, urban vote that would legitimately be theres if it wasnt for the mind games of racial and class conflict the democrats foster.

When I turn 18, I will be registering as a Republican though...


thanks

[Al B. Sure!]

well most of them who actually give a damn about anything political or social... it's amazing to see people being like, "we need to have prayer in schools" and then next thing you know they're saying how much of an idiot Bush is...

damn the democrats and their mind games...

Not old enough to vote, but I would have voted Gore last presidential election.

Too bad... that would have been the deciding vote!

I vote for whichever party is pandering to my current needs.

Put me down as a (socialist) under the commies too.

[Lawrence of Arabia]

and republicans arnt necessarily laissez fiare - look at their farm subsidies and their tariffs on steel. its just so that they can keep alock on those central US states.

[Gangerolf]

the Other Party

what's (=2) ?

[nationalist]

No, they're not as laissez faire as Libertarians, but they are still very pro-business. Very pro Free Trade, NAFTA, etc.

[Amesjustin]

What is wrong with Free Trade?

[Lawrence of Arabia]

Pro buisness and free trade are different. Pro buisness means to let the buisness in your neighborhood prosper by cutting down on regulations and taxes. Free trade means let those companies compete against foreign companies, and if they go under, its their own fault.
