Stem cell research has become a political hotbed again. Since I know some people will vote, at least in part based on it, I am curious how much the average person knows about this research.

True/False Questions.
1) There are 2 types of stem cell research?
2) Embryonic stem cell research is illegal?
3) Adult stem cell research has shown the most progress?
4) Researchers wish to create their own fetuses from laboratory fertilized eggs in order to mine embryonic stem cells for research?
5) Cures for several diseases have been found using embryonic stem cell research?

Essay Question: What is your position on stem cell research? Why? and will it effect the way you vote?

These are just 5 questions, but there are many more. Please feel free to expound on your answers, but do not lecture me about the research. I already know the answers. I have not expressed my position on this research intentionally so as not to skew towards a particular type of answer.

I notice that I have two choices "yes" further restrict by laws and regulations and "No" keep the same level of restrictions. How many people want to see more measures on ballots that take away regulations?

I've fought tooth and nail about my left-wing views. I'm sick of it! I want to stand tall for my liberatarian outlook! I want to stick bumper stickers on my car that market my politics with intelligence humor, but aren't vulgar or defensive, I want to read books that aren't whiney, I want to pay my taxes with a sense of both community and gain, and I want to feel free to drive by the panhandler.

Is it too much to ask that we require more from the wealthy to improve the improverished? We are one country, and we're looking really sad lately. I'm sick of false patriotism, false faith, false humanity.

Plant a freaking tree. If you have the means, plant 10. Donate when you're able, and if you aren't able, remember to do it when you are. Vote against tax hikes when you don't know where your taxes are going! Smile at kids on the street and strike up conversations with seniors. Listen to music you aren't used to. Feel free to wear polka dots with stripes.

Listen for change and vote.

Seems really stupid to have to vote on machines that cannot be traced or audited and that leave no paper trail. I hear that they can be easily hacked into to change votes. Well now you know how I feel. What do you think about this? Are you confident that your vote will count for something?

I am running for town council. I am 18 years old. I join a team of 6 people. I was invited to join a team. Few of the members have some negative feedback they have on the community. I have been living for 1 year in this town and do not know a lot of people or the community very well. So I decided to get on their team because I wanted to get my name known. They have big signs… ECT.

One of my bad feedbacks was regarding too many signs are posted and illustrates trash in the city. For example: one bulletin board in the city is filled with our paper signs.

Know my name is on those posters and I receive bad comments from some of the community. I use to get positive feedback because I am so young and wanted to help the community.

Do you have any suggestion of signs that I can post that can emphasis myself and helping the community? How can I get people vote for me as an individual with good standards? How can I improve my voting ranking?

Democrats or Republicans?

2006-10-26 17:45:28 · 13 answers · asked by Anonymous

On both sides of the aisle, this issue only seems to pop up as an election year issue. And both sides use it to their advantage -- the Republicans that are against Gay Marriage go for the Christian conservative votes, and the Democrats that support it go for the homosexual and liberal votes.

And then, after the election, the issue seemingly gets put away, at least on the national visibility level. The last time the Amendment came up in Congress was 2004, and was such a hot button issue that it was immediately tabled after the election. It was reintroduced again in June 2006, just in time for the campaigns to get rolling and the debate restarted.

It just seems to me that it's a transparent "decoy" that politicians from both sides use to manipulate/motivate their base. Nothing more.

I just saw a campaign ad for Tim Wahlberg, accusing his opponent of *gasp* gay marriage. The ad goes "so and so Supports Gay Marriage, and is AGAINST traditional marriage". Why would they even say that in a commercial, is anyone dumb enough to believe that supporting gay marriage means that they dont support traditional marriage? This is the first election that I get to vote in, and so far the republicans aren't really gaining my respect...

I am looking for a simple quiz to take where you enter information indicating your stance on each issue and how strongly you feel, and then have the quiz match your results with the candidate(s) who share the same views.

That would make voting so much easier. Everytime I think I find a candidate I like, I find out that he or she opposes something I am for or supports something I am against.

I have never understood how "they" can just pretend that people who are not affiliatied with either the Rep or Dem party shouldn't be given the same opportunities to speak, etc. The Florida Governors race is the perfect example. Any ideas on this?

People are saying the new lower gas prices will help the Republicans. The Republicans sure helped the gas prices, so it's only fair! Remember, gas prices are still 50-75% higher than they were when voters (or the Supreme Court) put two Oil Executives into the White House.

Bush/Cheney have been the best thing to happen to oil companies since the "oil shortage" of the early 70's. Under their administration, oil company profits have shattered all previous records. On top of that, their taxes on those profits have been cut by billions of dollars by this administration, making them even more money. Oil companies would love to keep Republicans in power.

Do you think it is a coincidence that gasoline prices conveniently fell just weeks before the election?

Do you really believe they will stay "low" after the election is over, especially if Republicans still control the Senate and Congress?

Guess they think we're all pretty stupid. I sure hope they're not right. Your thoughts?
