What party do I fit in your mind?

Question

I hate abortion and think it is wrong,but I am against government making it a legal issue. I believe it is a moral issue.
I believe in freedom of religion or your right to be an Atheist
I believe in freedom of speech, even if I hate what you say, but I also believe I have the right to tell you that,
I believe the ACLU is a socialist party
I want the Government to increase spending on
education, health care, and reduce health care costs.
I think there should be a cap on lawsuits
I believe in the right to bear arms for the private citizen
I believe that the government screwed up Katrina relief, both the Mayor, the Governer, and the President.
I believe the economy is fine but that the oil companies are fleecing the public, and the government should be looking into it closer,
I'm pissed the average working American can't afford health insurance but welfare recipients get it free
I believe in the war on terror but I think it could be fought better

Steve N.- In response I believe that in a republic that majority rule should be the path we follow. The ACLU appears to take the rights of the individual and put them above the rights or welfare of the Majority. Also they seem to attack mostly those of Christian beliefs. Christians cannot pray in school but Muslims are allowed to? Sueing a town because they have a cross at a war memorial?

Eric- Your exactly right on how I split my vote last election 5 votes Rep, 4 votes Dem, 1 vote Ind. I believe the two party system is a major problem in this country. Too many straight ticket voters

Answer 1

You sound a lot like me. I concur with you on just about all of your points. It may be an oxymoron, but I consider myself a moderate libertarian and tend to vote Republican about 60% of the time and Democratic about 40% of the time. To me, you would fit that pattern too. We dislike intrusive government, but are moderate (non-idealogical) enough to be realists and accept that there are needs that are in the national interest for the government to have SOME involvement (education, health care)
We (moderates) are the largest segment (about 40%) of the population that both major parties are competing for.

Answer 2

you are with me, Independent. Both the Democratic and Republican parties are not up to the job. They cannot seem to get anything done because of politics and personal beliefs but many of these beliefs are not in favor of Americans. We can fly to the moon but we cannot stop illegal immigration. Why? The government allows the oil companies to fleece us and this is ruining the economy. People don't have money to buy clothes, electronics, etc, because they spend so much on gas.
However, who is there to vote for if you are an independent? We know it will be either a Republican or Democrat and all we can do is hope that the guy (or gal..heavens) will do what is right for the country.

Answer 3

Your probably an Independent, fringing on being a Democrat. Worry not, it's not a bad thing. I used to be a Democrat until they sit on their hands and have done nothing to change the rotten world we are forced to live in. Now I'm an Independent also. I will vote for the person, not the party. Its really a shame what role politics plays in our every day life. Government should stick to running our Nation and quit trying to run our lives.

Answer 4

Independent.

Abortion is a moral and legal issue, because it is the government's place to put into effect laws that protect the lives of the innocent. Failing to do so would be a dereliction of duty. This should be a Republican position.

It is not the government's place, however, to provide any spending on education or health care - that would tend to make you a Democrat.

Answer 5

watching all the present solutions in this difficulty i think of the many times used public have missed the undeniable fact that he replaced into by no skill voted in ,interior the 1st place while the different mendacity b**"tard Tony Blair (ive had sufficient now you're taking on gordon)stepped down from government all of us ought to have held a re-election ,suggestions you all the others are basically as undesirable . the only appropriate vote isn't any vote in any respect ,those people we've on the minute are all out to line there very own wallet at our cost think of roughly it ......while did we get £26,000 to beautify our abode or to declare £10 for porn at a inn or vacationing fees to and from our paintings place or 15% pay rises and so on the checklist is going on

Answer 6

First, I think you would be called a moderate Democrat. Second (without yelling at me and cussing me out, please), can you please tell me why you think that the ACLU is a socialist party when the two line you wrote before that statement are the basic tenants of the ACLU and socialism, by its' nature, suppresses free speech?
I'm a member of the ACLU.

Answer 7

You're a Moderate fence straddler like me, who think the liberals and conservatives are both idiots. You go one way or the other depending on the issue.

Answer 8

You're pretty darn close to Libertarian. You're on the upper side on a moderate. Excellent position, as far as I'm concerned.

Answer 9

Unlike the dems or 'bulicans you can think. So you may be a member of the "I actually care about America party"

Answer 10

democrat
you believe in rights, separation of church & state, and care about the less fortunate. you're also not afraid to complain and be pissed off. definately democrat
