Politically confused!? Can you list as many political issues as you can?

Question

I'm trying to decifer my complicated stance. i believe in alot of republican things(most of my family is republican) but finding myself leaning more to the left on some things. I figure if you guys can give me a full list of issues i may not be remembering, i can finally pick one side or the other by seeing which side gets more points.

Answer 1

I really believe that the heart of the country lies in the middle ground. The political parties are increasingly at polar opposites so that is what we hear from them. The individual politicians are more moderate than their stated positions. The Bush hatred from the Democrats and the gay bashing from the Republicans is more about appealing to the base than any true beliefs.

Most people believe that helping those truly in need is the right thing to do. The once notable difference between Democrats and Republicans is that Republicans generally think it is good for people to work hard to achieve rather than just be given a handout. The Democrats seem to favor having a "victim" class that always needs the government to do things for them.

The issues in this election are the economy and the war in Iraq. The Democrats are bad-mouthing Bush on Iraq and perhaps he has some of that coming for doing a poor job in some areas. That does not mean that the Democrats have any sort of plan of their own. Even if they take the Senate back, they will not make very many changes.

The economy is doing very well. Today the numbers on unemployment came out and it seems that everyone who wants a job can get one since we have virtual full employement. Some people are not feeling all that happy about the economy, but most likely that is because of the general malaise as a result of the Iraq war. The tax rate cuts have generated and enormous amount of new taxes to state and federal government, but they keep spending it faster than it is coming in. The biggest reason for that is the high cost of health care. No one seems to have a good answer for that, but without healthcare competition, we are unlikely to see much relief.

All that being said, I don't think you should vote based on emotion or a sense of wanting to "throw the bums out". There are good Democrats and good Republicans. Hopefully we can get more of those a fewer of the hateful partisan representatives who spend most of their time trying to divide us.

Answer 2

The Queen has as so much vigor as President.Her truly powers lie in her lengthy-lived revel in as monarch;she has the powers of persuasion seeing that of her process revel in.There had been 11 British Prime Ministers for the duration of The Queen's reign: They are: Winston Churchill 1951-fifty five Sir Anthony Eden 1955-fifty seven Harold Macmillan 1957-sixty three Sir Alec Douglas-Home 1963-sixty four Harold Wilson 1964-70 and 1974-seventy six Edward Heath 1970-seventy four James Callaghan 1976-seventy nine Margaret Thatcher 1979-ninety John Major 1990-ninety seven Tony Blair 1997-2007 Gordon Brown from 2007 The Queen has labored with such a lot of men and women,such a lot of exclusive political events and she or he's discovered from the nice of them. The Queen might override Parliament if ever there's a fairly well rationale to take action;Parliament has on few circumstances requested her to take action however she has consistently refused,who prefer the elected govt do their possess process.So,the Queen does have extra vigor than you suppose,it's only now not an overt vigor.

Answer 4

take this quiz. it's not the most comprehensive, but it's pretty good. one other thing about it is that you can kind of tell which answer favors which party, which may lead to subconscious favoritism, but i guess that's where today's politics are.

Answer 5

don't worry about having a party to identify with. that would just make you a sheep.
instead think for yourself and vote based on what you think is right.
