Report to moderator are you pro-choice or "pro life"? are you pro gays in the miltary/gay marriage or against? are you for a terminally ill person in agony's right to die or against?
do you want to try to work WITH the rest of the world, who is almost all "socialist" and cares deeply about issues like global warming--or do you want to act like america owns the world and reject the UN and our european allies?
do you want tax cuts for the middle class and programs for the poor or do you want tax cuts for corporations and b/mmillionaires only, "trickle down economics"? do you support helping minority groups or just white straight christians?
the answers to these questions will tell you, in my opinion, if you're a republican or democrat. they dont hand out membership cards: its about who you vote for. its time for you to get real and start working for obama, time is running out.
I'm personally pro choice. I don't mind gay marriage but I don't know if gays should be allowed to serve in the military. There are pros and cons. Global warming is a big deal but I don;t think we should bring in other countries. It's taken us a while to get to where we are now and it will take other countries longer. I don;t know enough about tax cuts to form an opinion. I only support helping people who need it. Not people who plan to live on Welfare their entire lives and have children just to receive more money. Please tell me who I belong to.
what about all the gays who died in foreign wars protecting your freedom? (gays flock to the military, for obvious reasons.)
Which way do you think I'm voting in 2012? I'm with you on pretty much all of those things, I just wish that it was okay to say his name without an epithet tagged onto it...
king, no one supports welfare fraud and abuse. that's why clinton passed the biggest welfare reform in history, even though it cost him many votes. to me, its clear that the rich are obscenely wealthy and pay far fewer taxes than in any other developed country. they caused the recession, then we bailed them out--now, i feel they should at least do SOMETHING to help. we need a global effort to stop global warming. we are by far the biggest polluter in the world, but if we dont reform our ways, then we'll never convince other big polluters like china and india to change their ways either. europe is way ahead of us in terms of "going green." like i said, it has to be an effort involving the whole world, or it wont work. i believe that since so many gay and bi-sexual soldiers have died protecting our freedoms in foreign wars that they should at least have the right to serve openly and proudly in the miitary, since they are risking their lives for our country. i believe most all democrats agree with me. right, a-rod?
