What do you base your political decisions on?

[rosethecopycat]

Ahh, back to the question.

Q: What do you base your political decisions on?

A: The candidate that best represents the tenets of the Constitution.
A candidate the supports: freedom, liberty and security.

A: A candidate the supports the Free Market economy, and does not support Socialist causes.

A: A candidate that supports Free Enterprise, and does not condone Nationalization

I listen to what comes out of candidates own mouths- Note to candidate Obama: a windfall profit tax (on oil) IS a seizure.
What right does government have to seize funds from private companies? Even it is "Big Oil" (computer companies realize higher profit rates, why not them too) Jimmy Carter did this, and what good became of it?

A: I base my political decisions on the belief that I will oppose that which is furthest from my viewpoint. Liberalism is closer to Socialism, Communism and Marxism than Conservatism or Libertarianism is. My viewpoint is Libertarian.

A: I do not base my political decisions on social issues such as:
abortion, gay marriage, stem cell research, global warming, death penalty, or how many houses a candidate owns, etc.

A: I base my political decisions on who will best stand for a small national government, that will get out of the way and let the people thrive.

Okay sorry to go off track again but IRRESCUE I am a democrat but I find some of your statements pretty offensive, you are implying you could picture McCain in a KKK robe???? What is that based on?

I actually think McCain is a decent human being, he adopted an orphan from bangladesh and he has a ton of pets he can't be all bad, was that just because he is white or what?

What I base my vote on, well yes I did read Obama's book, to be honest I didn't know McCain had a book, I think its time for a change basically and I am against the war and hope a democrat will be also.

My decisions this time around will be based on, and not necessarily in this specific order -

1. the disaster in Iraq
2. the economy
3. the Supreme Court
4. The Constitution of the United States

Yes, I'll get old one day. I'm not saying old people and families don't need help. I know they do. But so do other categories of people. There are plenty more categories out there that get nothing.

And I think you are the one who needs to research things like Jesus camp, Pam. If you don't know what I'm talking about. I know plenty about Christianity. I went to a Christian college and I've been ordained. If you could step into the shoes of a person who is a member of several minority groups, you'd be scared all the time too. Its especially the religious nuts who drive hate crimes, and McCain just reminds me of one of them. So he adopted a trophy orphan from Bangladesh. Do you think he'd have done that if he were a regular Joe Schmo not in the limelight?

Obama's no great guy either. He doesn't believe in equality, he believe's in seperate but [un]equal for some groups. Hello modern black Jim Crow.

Ordained as what? - and did they teach to judge a book by it's cover? McCain reminds you of a religious nut and you can picture him in KKK robes - just because you don't happen to like his looks and the way he appears to you? Take off your blinders! And by the way - I don't remember him being "in the limelight" when he adopted that child in 1993!!!!! How many people really even heard of him 15 years ago - not the majority - that's for sure!
