Liberal, Conservative or moderate? (bold one)
Your SPECIFIC afiliation on the left-right scale:
Party you most agree with:Republican
Pro-choice or Pro-life?
Describe your veiws on the economy:
I Beleive the economy has dips and rises, and that it will fix itself eventually. A stimilus package would do more harm then help. Also, the goverment should not buy companies. We should not become too socialist. Otherwise, every american soldier who died in Nam and Korea died in vain. (wheather or not we should have entered Vietnam is a different story.)
What are your veiws on Obama's health care reform plan?
If Obamas system passes thru, no emplyers will provide benifits anymore, which is not what the plan is for. it is for the unemployed and those employed by small buisnesses. Also, disqualificATIONS FOR CARE WILL INCREASE.
The war in Iraq? We should't have entered but since we did lets finish this.
How should we deal with Islamo-facism?
Obama is turning a blind eye to this issue. It is a war. this must be accepted no matter who first used the term "war on terror."
What should be done about torture?
The Cia angents should not be prosecuted since there legal counsels told them it was OK. They acted out of complete ignorance of the law. Besides, we do not knoiw how many plots they stopped by torturing it out of Prisiners. However, It should be prohibited from now on.
What Politician do most agree with? Mcain, simply because he's republican and is willing to reach acroos the aisles.

Party you most agree with: Committee to Elect No One
Pro-choice or Pro-life?
Describe your veiws on the economy: It's like predicting the weather, but people can get really ****ed when it thundersnows
What are your veiws on Obama's health care reform plan? Health care needs some improvement so an accident victim doesn't have to pre-approve the ambulance ride to the hospital. But bi-partianship isn't "one side bends over backwards to please the other side who will then vote against it anyway"
The war in Iraq? Unnecessary
How should we deal with Islamo-facism? Are we fighting terrorists or the "tenth crusade"
What should be done about torture? wherever the rule of law of leads, prosecutions should follow.
What Politician do most agree with? No One.
 
Liberal, Conservative or moderate?
I see myself as a moderate

Your SPECIFIC afiliation on the left-right scale (Ultra-right, Liberal conservitive Far left, moderate slanted toward the left):
Moderate slanted towards the right.

Party you most agree with:
Republican

Pro-choice or Pro-life?
I consider myself neither and I look at both sides of the argument with disdain. On one hand, you cannot outlaw abortion like the people on the pro-life side and the actions of pro-life extremists are shameful. Outlawing abortion will lead to a massive public health crisis in my opinion with women trying to perform the procedure themselves or going to some alley clinic that does not have the proper tools and cleanliness to do such a thing. On the other, abortion is an ugly and sad procedure and I definitely support some limits onto the practice such as outlawing abortion after a certain time period, partial birth abortions, and requiring parental consent for minors to obtain an abortion. We shouldn't be funding abortion clinics and we shouldn't be funding pro-life groups.

Describe your veiws on the economy:
:csad:

What are your veiws on Obama's health care reform plan?
Absolute ********. Based on Obama's comments on his support for universal health care and that it's a gradual process to implement it, to me it's blatantly obvious that his public option plan is a scheme to drive the insurance companies out of business so then Pelosi and the Progressive Democrats can say that they have no choice but to create an universal health care system.

I also don't like that his reform efforts are focusing on the uninsured, a very clear minority in the populace, when health care reform should be focusing on everyone in the country and that it is a long and arduous process requiring lots and lots of reform, not some "Hey lets just create some poorly managed and poorly funded government program" idea.

The war in Iraq?
I support President Obama's actions in Iraq and Afghanistan.

How should we deal with Islamo-facism?
Like Ron Paul says, we should mostly pull out of the damn Middle East. We need to get less dependent on petroleum and just leave it alone. It really isn't worth it.

Find Osama bin Laden, fix the messes in Iraq and Afghanistan, and just get the hell out I say. Our presence there just pisses them off and if we don't fuel the flames to the fire, it'll eventually die out when the people there realize groups like al-Qaeda, the Taliban, etc. is a load of ********.

What should be done about torture?
We don't torture. Period.

I think John McCain sums up my views perfectly

I would also note to Thor Odinson that ignorance of the law is not a valid excuse.

What Politician do most agree with?
I find myself to be my own person and agree with people on the basis of issue, not who they are or their political affiliation.
 
Their are people of all political affiliations on the Hype..........Therefore, I wish to see what Political veiws all of you guys have thru the following form:



Liberal, Conservative or moderate? (bold one)
Your SPECIFIC afiliation on the left-right scale (Ultra-right, Liberal conservitive Far left, moderate slanted toward the left):

I consider myself conservative/traditionalist/pragmatic right-of-center.

Party you most agree with: I suppose Republican


Pro-choice or Pro-life?
Describe your veiws on the economy:

We're in a tight recession that started due to people spending too much, using up all their credit to point that they were maxed out. Using rising homes as assets when they were really liabilities. I don't like government intrusion in market place in general. We should repeal the stimulus...cut social program spending
, any wasteful federal government spending wherever we can. Pay down debt, stop printing new money, cut taxes on businesses.


What are your veiws on Obama's health care reform plan?

Oppose tremendously. I'm ok with provision to stop insurance companies from denying or dropping you because of pre-existing conditions (although i think the whole genetic bill of rights stuff is too intrusive). Completely opposed to public option and universal mandates that everyone has to buy health insurance. Its a massive wealth redistribution tactic. I don't think Obama or House Dems bill will lower costs or medical inflation. Positive if they're passed they will increase the debt in this country.


The war in Iraq?
We shouldn' have gone in initially, bad strategic decision, but we need to finish the job.

How should we deal with Islamo-facism?

We should stay out of meddling in foreign government affairs/politics as much as we can unless undisputed proof foreign government is planning to attack us. However, we should always fight non-governmentals terrorist networks wherever they are.


What should be done about torture?

We should not torture.

What Politician do most agree with?

Liberal

Your SPECIFIC afiliation on the left-right scale (Ultra-right, Liberal conservitive Far left, moderate slanted toward the left):

moderate slanted toward left

Party you most agree with:

Democrats
Pro-choice or Pro-life?

Pro-choice, although really uncomfortable with it

Describe your veiws on the economy:
What are your veiws on Obama's health care reform plan?

I feel that Insurance companies are basically legalized extortionists and that he's already compromised a lot.

The war in Iraq?
I was strictly against it but the state that country is in now is our responsibility and we have to leave it in an acceptable state to the Iraqi people.

How should we deal with Islamo-facism?
Very difficult question and hard to come up with a pat answer to. I have no opinion on Islam as a religion but as a culture I see it as very oppressive and I feel they use the religion to keep the wealthy elite from sharing their insane wealth with the majority of the people. There is no excuse for people in a country like Saudi Arabia to not have a pretty good standard of living. The treatment of women in many Islamic nations disgusts me as well. I also believe strongly that the we MUST support Israel.

What should be done about torture?
To quote Shep Smith, We don't ****ing torture.

What Politician do most agree with?
I don't know if any politician really fits my views, but I suppose the Clintons come the closest. I admire Obama as a man but I've found him lacking as a leader so far. I tend to agree with the Democrats on positions of policy but I find them to be a terrible political party.
 
Liberal, Conservative or moderate?

Moderate

Your SPECIFIC afiliation on the left-right scale (Ultra-right, Liberal conservitive Far left, moderate slanted toward the left):

Moderate, heavily leaning toward the left

Party you most agree with:

Democratic

Pro-choice or Pro-life?

I support abortion rights

Describe your veiws on the economy:

Economics is not an area I have a lot of knowledge in, so I couldn't think of a plan to improve it. All I know is the ups and downs

What are your veiws on Obama's health care reform plan?

I like the idea of a public option

The war in Iraq?

Never supported it, but I support our plan for withdrawal. I've known all along we couldn't "simply leave"

How should we deal with Islamo-facism?

Tough foreign policy, find the men most responsible

What should be done about torture?

My United States does not torture
 
Liberal, Conservative or moderate?
Conservative.

Your SPECIFIC affiliation on the left-right scale (Ultra-right, Liberal Conservative Far left, moderate slanted toward the left):
Far right.

Party you most agree with:
Constitution Party.

Pro-choice or Pro-life?
I will never have a black and white opinion for this issue.

Describe your veiws on the economy:
It's ****ed. We need to let it run it's course and stop interfering so it can stabilize.

What are your veiws on Obama's health care reform plan?
I believe that the "public option" is a gateway to Universal Health Care, and therefore I oppose it.
I do support reform, however.
I would like to see a return to the way health care used to be run, catastrophic health insurance, and that sort of thing.

The war in Iraq?
Should have never went, should leave immediately.

How should we deal with Islamo-facism?

We should leave the Middle East, I agree with Ron Paul when he says they attacked us because we were over there. Imagine if China set up military bases in Canada and Mexico. How would our military react to that? Stay out of the affairs of others, and we will be much less likely to be attacked. Al Qaeda's membership numbers rely on people who are angry at the US. If we give them no reason to be angry with us their numbers will dwindle to nothing over a few short years.


What should be done about torture?
As Hippie_Hunter said. We don't torture. Period.


What Politician do most agree with?
Ron Paul.
 
Liberal, Conservative or moderate?
Liberal.

Your SPECIFIC affiliation on the left-right scale (Ultra-right, Liberal Conservative Far left, moderate slanted toward the left):
Far left.

Party you most agree with:
None of them.

Pro-choice or Pro-life?
Pro-choice.

Describe your veiws on the economy:
Stop bailing out the banks and other companies. Help out the people affected most by the downturn directly through government programs.

What are your veiws on Obama's health care reform plan?
He has the right idea, but it's not nearly enough. I think healthcare isn't a privilege in a first world country, it's a right.

The war in Iraq?
Get the **** out. NOW.

How should we deal with Islamo-facism?
Stop interfering in middle eastern affairs. Period. Let the people of the region make their own destiniy.

What should be done about torture?

It's barbaric. It seperates us from them.

What Politician do most agree with?
Ted Kennedy was pretty the only person I've ever fully agreed with on all of his platforms.
 
Liberal, Conservative or moderate?
Liberal


Your SPECIFIC afiliation on the left-right scale (Ultra-right, Liberal conservitive Far left, moderate slanted toward the left):
I'm probably a left-leaning moderate.


Party you most agree with:
Not sure. There are a lot of parties out there.


Pro-choice or Pro-life?
Idealistically, I'm pro-life. If you don't want your baby, try putting it up for adoption. Also while I'm on this topic, let gays adopt.

Realistically, however, I know that abortion has to be legal. If you prohibit it, women will just find illegal and dangerous ways to get their abortions done. We don't need women getting gangrene and tetanus because their only alternative was an old bicycle spoke.


Describe your views on the economy:
Stop giving money to businesses and banks. Their dirty practices are what got us into this mess. If you give them more money than they deserve, they're just going to take advantage.

Don't ask me how to fix it. I'm not an economist.


What are your veiws on Obama's health care reform plan?
Let's not kid ourselves and say that our current system is fine as-is. There are people out there with no coverage and poor coverage from private insurance companies, and the lack of an alternative is literally killing some of them. I think we need Obama's health care plan, or at least something similar to it. A public health care option (preferably one that doesn't disintegrate the private option, obviously) wouldn't make the United States a communist nation. If it would, then we had some ironically communist allies throughout the Cold War.


The war in Iraq?
You know, I wouldn't be surprised if we ultimately had a military setup in Iraq similar to the one we have in Japan. I'd love if we could just pull out of that country wholesale, but I honestly only see our role in Iraq being reduced at best.


How should we deal with Islamo-facism?
Find Bin Laden (assuming he's still alive), put a massive stick in Al Qaeda's craw, and stay uninvolved with crap that the people of the Middle East need to settle on their own.


What should be done about torture?
Stop torturing. It doesn't guarantee accurate information, and we should be better than that.


What Politician do most agree with?
No idea.
 
Liberal, Conservative or moderate? (bold one) Can't, I have opposing views on different subjects.

Your SPECIFIC afiliation on the left-right scale: Left-leaning conservative

Party you most agree with: Tough to say, for now Democratic. If I was old enough to vote in the 80's, Republican.

Pro-choice or Pro-life? State Decision, not Federal.

Describe your views on the economy: More energy independent, keep jobs in America, destroy Wal-mart, dismantle industrial farming. Tax fast food chains.

What are your views on Obama's health care reform plan? It will increase taxes. Its known that the people that get the best health coverage are those who have $0 income and those just below the super rich. His plan will offer options to those who are stuck in the lower-middle class bracket who can't qualify for Medicare and can't afford private health insurance. The Massachusetts plan must be studied more and aided more to see if it is viable nationwide. Most importantly, I believe that instead of treating illnesses, healthcare providers should focus more on help preventing common diseases like heart disease, diabetes, and hypertension. I'll re-iterate, TAX fast food chains like we tax cigarettes.

The war in Iraq?

We installed Saddam Hussein and we removed him. Geostrategically, we have opened Iraq's oil to American companies, but at the price of creating a power vacuum that Iran and Russia will take advantage of.

How should we deal with Islamo-facism?

Islamo-fascism = Islamophobia. It's a fear tactic made to scare Americans and Europeans of Muslims who are making up a sizeable chunk of their populations. It has caused France to ban the Islamic head dress in their schools and Germany to enforce anti-Muslim laws in their schools b/c of the growing populations of non-integrated Muslim migrants. The undeniable truth is that Islamic/Middle Eastern culture is inherently a foundation of Western society (Education, Religion, Culture, Science, etc). Islamo-fascism is Xenophobia taken to insane levels. People fear what they don't understand.

What should be done about torture?

Be honest about it. Everybody knows that torture is inhumane, but it does happen and whether America wants to deny doing it or not, it will happen again. By us and by our enemies.

What Politician do most agree with? Thomas Jefferson
 
Liberal, Conservative or moderate? (bold one)
Your SPECIFIC afiliation on the left-right scale (Ultra-right, Liberal conservitive Far left, moderate slanted toward the left
Party you most agree with: None.
Pro-choice or Pro-life?

I would like to see far fewer abortions in this country but its a problem that will never go away. There will always be abortion and if a woman is dead set on having one, it might as well be done safely. Family planning needs to be taught in schools.

Describe your views on the economy:

The issue is complex and will take a lot of time to iron out. Yes, I dont know enough to have much of an opinion. Greed is a big part of the mess we are in but I doubt the people at fault will learn anything. This sort of thing will happen again in a few decades.

What are your views on Obama's health care reform plan?

I'd like to have it better explained before I completely agree with it. I wont dismiss the idea completely but I'm not sold on it either.

The war in Iraq?


The sooner we get out, the better. I hope we are making good progress and I wish the Iraqi people the best, but we cant be there forever.


How should we deal with Islamo-facism?

We need to pursue al Qaida where ever it hides. That doesnt necessarily mean going to war. Foreign police, government agencies and special ops can be used to track down terror cells in other countries. Further focus needs to be put on Afghanistan and Pakistan.

On the other hand, we need to understand that Islamic terrorism against the west will never go away. Middle Eastern countries resent our "stealing" their oil (one more reason to support Green fuels) but no one is bothering to get us off foreign fuel. The US will never abandon Israel, one big reason for hatred against the USA.

What should be done about torture?

I dont mind getting information out of terrorism suspects, no matter the ways.

What Politician do most agree with?

John Stewart Mill (Look him up.)
 
Liberal, Conservative or moderate?
Your SPECIFIC afiliation on the left-right scale (Ultra-right, Liberal conservitive Far left, moderate slanted toward the left):
Party you most agree with:


Democrats

Pro-choice or Pro-life?

Pro-choice

Describe your veiws on the economy:

Capitalist. caps on executive bonuses. lower business taxes on companies that keep jobs in America and raise them on businesses that outsource jobs. energy independence extremely important. reward companies that pursue technologies in alternate fuels and environmentally friendly hybrids, etc.

What are your veiws on Obama's health care reform plan?

Some people aren't going to be able to afford mandated health care. I think, realistically, he's going to have to raise taxes to pay for it. I think the (supposedly) wealthiest nation on Earth should be able to have universal health care for its citizens (screw illegal aliens, they have no right to be here anyway, so they can fend for themselves), but I don't know if the middle of the worst recession in decades is the best time to be pushing such a massive program through. I do think children at the very least should be mandatorily covered, and I approve of government providing competition to keep the insurance costs down. And by the way, for the people who call it Socialist, so is Social Security and veterans' benefits, I don't hear those people complaining about those.

The war in Iraq?

I don't think it ever should have happened in the first place. I think it is one of the costliest criminal fiascos in our national history, a completely unnecessary war we were led into based on lies and manipulated and faulty intelligence, a violation of international law by invading a sovereign nation that had not attacked us (what the Nuremberg Trials called "waging aggressive war" and sentenced Admiral Erich Raeder to ten years in prison for, but it's apparently only a crime if the losing side did it), and a ridiculous detour from what should have been the center of the "War on Terror", Afghanistan, that completely took the focus off finding bin Laden and may well have let him escape. I think Bush and Cheney belong in prison for treason and should be held directly responsible for the 4,000 + American soldiers, not to mention coalition troops and God knows how many Iraqi civilians which no one even bothers to count because apparently nobody cares. Invading Iraq has also expanded the War on Terror and placed Americans in greater danger, because Iraq is now the hotbed of Islamofascist terrorism it wasn't before after we overthrew the secular government and drew terrorists for the chance to kill American soldiers.

However, now that we're there, we can't just pull out. We need a phased withdrawal. The Iraqis need to step up to their own governing and policing more than they have been, and we need to set definitive timetables for every stage of the phased withdrawal.

How should we deal with Islamo-facism?

We should have focused on Afghanistan. We really took our eye off the ball by veering off course into Iraq, and shot ourselves in the foot by creating two hotbeds of Islamofascist terrorism instead of one. I think Obama is making the right moves by pushing for a phased withdrawal out of Iraq, and shifting our forces to Afghanistan. We also need to keep an eye on Pakistan and Iran. This does not mean going to war with those countries. We should be working with the Pakistani authorities to pursue terrorists within their borders, and apply sanctions against Iran and encourage the dissident movement within Iran. Also, developing alternative fuels and getting away from our addiction to oil would help us extricate ourselves from the Middle East.

What should be done about torture?

We must uphold international law to maintain any moral credibility in the War on Terror, so we should not torture.

What Politician do most agree with?

I think Bill Clinton was and could probably still be a very good President. I think Barack Obama has the right ideas but I'm not sure about how much of his intelligence and charisma and ideas translates to actual effectiveness as a leader. I also admired Ted Kennedy for his policies and positions, if not always the way he handled his personal issues. I agree with the Democrats on policy but think they tend to be really bungling politically.
 
Liberal, Conservative or moderate?

Party you most agree with: neither, thought I do like Obama, I just wished he would go through with "change"... I don't see any yet

Pro-choice or Pro-life? You did the dance, this child did not ask for you to be his parent... grow up and except some responsibilty, or get medical sterolized. There's always adoption, and with so many couples out there who can't have children, you should be able to find a loving, caring family for them.

I am Pro-Abortion is it means: Mother's health, or rape... but only in the first trimester.... go watch a second trimester abortion, and then tell me you are for them... made me cry


The war in Iraq?
We should't have entered and we need to leave. The amount of money, man power and time, is something that America can not do.... lets leave before another soldier losses his life due to Bushes greed.

How should we deal with Islamo-facism?

Terrorism is a tactic, not an enemy. Bush has altered this term to fit an agenda... a war on terrorism, is like a war on U-Boats in WW2, it's just one tactic.... we need to understand our "enemy", and untill Obama, no one in the past admins tried to do this. By pissing on the cultures, and declaring whole countries evil, how are we going to stop the spread? We need to educate these people, and help them move forward. Bombing them, then raping their religous culture is only going to increase the breeding....

What should be done about torture?

Cheney is an idiot... Torture never works... it only enrages people, and creates more of an enemy. It's been proven that no torture will turn around more evidence and info, then torture
 
Liberal, Conservative or moderate? (bold one)

Your SPECIFIC afiliation on the left-right scale (Ultra-right, Liberal conservitive Far left, moderate slanted toward the left): I think of myself as more Liberal / Conservative

Party you most agree with: The Democrats

Pro-choice or Pro-life? This is a hard one. While I am Pro-Life, I see the need for abortions. But only in the most exteme cases. Just because you don't want a baby isn't a reason to have one. There has to be some health reason before you can have one. Women need to be taught there are other options out there for them. There are millions of people that would love to have a baby and can't have one. And then you have these people who think an abortion is nothing more then having a tooth pulled.

Describe your veiws on the economy: Right now it sucks. One can argue that the market always goes up and down and can fix it's self. But the proble right now lies with these greedy CEOs that put more money into there own pockets then into the pockets of those who do the real work. Everyone is cutting corners in their company not to save money but to keep it for themself. Expect more and pay less seems to be how they think. But when you cut hours or layoff people just to save a buck, those same people can't buy your product anymore. And that in turn hurts the banks because if they don't have money they can't pay their loans. We are in a mess right now and I think it will be at the very least ten years before we get out of it. If it wasn't for Bush's policies that let these business leaders do this, we wouldn't be in as bad of shape as we are.

What are your veiws on Obama's health care reform plan? I think health care reform is long over due. When his plan has some problems with it, at least he has a plan that changes things. The term if is isn't broke don't fix it doesn't work for America anymore. The health care system has been broken for years and it is now so bad that something needs to be done. Where it needs to start is with the cost. Too many people now adays file for bankruptcy because of high medical bills. I am not just talking about those with out coverage, but people who do have it but their plan doesn't cover needed care. An insurance company should not be load to deny you coverage over a pre-exsiting health problem. they should also not be able to charge someone with heath problems more then a health person. Tese are just two reasons many don't have health care. Add that to the fact that many employers don't offer care or what they offer caost the emplotee most of their pay check. Then we have the lower middle class that can't aford to buy coverage them selves yet make to much for medicade. The United States is the richest country most powerful country in the world, we ca afford to have a public option. Health care is not a privlage it is a right.


The war in Iraq? We entered Iraq under false reasons. If it were not for the lies of Bush and Cheney we would not have entered into this war. But now that we are there we need to do what we have to do and get out. We should have kept looking for Bin Ladin but Bush had to finish the job his daddy could not do.


How should we deal with Islamo-facism? Bottom line is we should stop all of those who wish to harm us. But the problem with that is, some of them are already here in America. People like Bin Ladin have to be stopped yes. But the intire Middle East hates us and doesn't want us there. We spread ourselves out way too much. the Middle East has been fighting with each other for 4000 years, What makes us think just because we are there they will stop? Let them kill themselves it is what they want to do. I forget who said it here but, how would we feel if China set up a base in Canada? I'll go one further then that. How would you feel if They set one up outside NY City? You would hate it right? So what makes you think the middle east is happy we are there?


What should be done about torture? We are better then the countries that support torture as a meens to get info. here is no proof that it gets truthful info. I know if you tortured me I would make crap up to get you to stop.


What Politician do most agree with? Bill Clinton
 
Their are people of all political affiliations on the Hype..........Therefore, I wish to see what Political veiws all of you guys have thru the following form:
Liberal, Conservative or moderate? (bold one)
Your SPECIFIC afiliation on the left-right scale (Ultra-right, Liberal conservitive Far left, moderate slanted toward the left):
Party you most agree with:
Pro-choice or Pro-life?
Describe your veiws on the economy:

The war in Iraq?
How should we deal with Islamo-facism?
What should be done about torture?
What Politician do most agree with?

Independent.
Slanted no ways, I'm extremely right on some issues and extremely left of others.
Neither party.
Pro-choice.
The economy got ****ed up by unchecked spending and no restrictions or penalties for higher ups ****ing up. To get it back on track we need accountability with more accountability for higher ups as they are responsible for more. One madoff costs the system more than all the welfare mouchers put together.
Without the gov. option I don't see the point of the health care reform.
We should never have gone to Iraq the second time.
Diplomacy, and reducing our oil dependence. As for the crazies we should ignore them, they want attention to further their cause, we should not give it to them.
We should never torture, we're better than that.
No politician at the moment, they seemed too mixed up in pointing blame around to bother doing their jobs.
 
Which ones are you "extremely right" on?
 
Which ones are you "extremely right" on?

Gun control would be a big one, military spending would be another, fiscal responsibility (though a lot of repubs seem to have lost what this means), welfare reform, my views on immigration sync with some repubs but not others, smaller federal powers over most things (but healthcare isn't one of them).

I know I probably don't seem too much like this in most of the recent debates, but the repubs seem to be circling their wagons around their hardcore base and that type of thing alienates the hell out of me. When Rush Limbaugh has more say in the party over Colin Powell it's time to make a change. That said you bring up Hillary Clinton, John Edwards, Nancy Pelosi, Michael Moore or pretty much anyone from san francisco and you'll see me sounding a lot more repub than you'd expect.
