would you vote for me if i ever ran for president?

Question

here's how i stand

abortion: it should be exclusively the woman's choice and the man/parents should have no say

affirmative action: women and minorities should continue to receive protections because of the inherent discrimination facing us

corporations: pro-corporate

death penalty: should be abolished. sentences should be reduced to clear overcrowded prisons

drugs: legalize marijuana

elections: each party will be mandated to nominate at least one minority/woman candidate to end the status-quo

foreign policy: we should stop terrorism at its root before it hits home like on 9/11

gay rights: gay marriage should be legal, but gays don't deserve special treatment like women/minorities

guns: pro-gun control

health care: it's fine as it is

immigration: increase the # of LEGAL immigrants we allow into this country and existing illegals deserve amnesty.

taxes: keep taxes low and reduce big government

trade: proponent of free trade and laizzes-faire

welfare: should be eliminated

i forgot to mention separation of church and state: america should be more secularized.

your telling me that nobody would vote for me? :(

Answer 1

I'm with you on some of your issues and although I disagree with you on others, I still could have worked with you UNTIL you said healthcare was fine as it is. At that point, no way I could ever vote for you.

Answer 2

No. Illegals do not deserve amnesty, health care is not fine as it is, women/minorities don't deserve special treatment (The way you wrote it in your "gay rights" platform sounds like gays should get special treatment the way women/minorities should.), each party shouldn't have to nominate at least one minority/woman simply because that person is a minority/woman, at the moment, marijuana should not be legalized, penalties for felons should be stronger, not reduced. They made the choice to go to an overcrowded prison. Affirmative action is unnecessary and should be abolished. There is no inherent discrimination against us or minority ethnicities or races.

Answer 3

Your platform has problems. You are a social liberal and economic republican. But your desire to eliminate welfare crosses the line from economic to social and will turn off the liberal base you would need to get elected. Its also a pointless position for a social liberal to take because "eliminating welfare" won't make a dent in spending. Similarly, saying "health care is fine as it is" makes your affirmative action issue support sound empty. Finally, saying you are "pro-corporate" and "free trade" makes you "anti-labor" and "anti-middle class".

You also don't say how you want to "keep taxes low and reduce big government". Both parties ultimately seek that goal, but go about it in very different ways.

At the end of the day, you are either a Republican who wants to legalize pot and abortion and give lip service to minorities and women (since pro-business will keep you from actually doing anything useful here). Or you are a Democrat who wants to dump all of our social programs.

Neither will fly.

To get elected, you will need to run as a Democrat. Drop that "kill welfare" thing. Talk about some kind of healthcare improvement. Moderate your Bush-like "kill them THERE not HERE" speech, because its silly anyway. And be careful how you define "pro business" and "free trade". If you can't do that, you're dead, because no way Republicans would even consider you with your stance on guns, gays, abortion, minorities, and pot.

I fear you have fallen pray to the Republican lies about economics and society. With more deprogramming, you might realize that the Republicans are not just wrong about societal issues, but all issues!

Finally, are you Christian? Wealthy? Are you famous in any way? White? If your answer to any of these is "no", forget it.

However, for 10 points, I will vote for you!

Answer 4

I think you read to many N.O.W. pamphlets and articles.
Thanks for all your issues that are so pro women and minority boasting of protections while depriving others of the same protections due to gender and non-minority status by enacting laws to discriminate against them.
Why don't you include Catholics vise Protestants be nominated candidates to end the status-quo or even Muslims, Buddhists, or Moonies and Atheists and even gays/lesbians.
I'm not going on with the rest of your platform. It's just not worth my time.

Answer 5

She only isn't trustworthy. What she says relies upon totally on the team she is chatting with. whilst all politicians do this to a pair degree, Hillary even does it with the Preachers of Hate: she attended the on a daily basis Kos Konvention and kissed their butts. those all human beings is frightening!!!! Hillary continuously says stuff like, "it relatively is undesirable that all human beings is getting killed in Iraq. it relatively is undesirable that some human beings don't have healthcare." nicely yeah, yet she never says what she'll do approximately it. She is intentionally imprecise. I actually have a slump she rather does not comprehend what to do, yet needs to sound "worried." No way i'd vote for somebody who won't tell me particularly what they're going to do. She has no plan, a minimum of no plan she needs us to comprehend. the only way i'd ever vote for her is that if Ron Paul became the different selection, and that's no longer likely to take place. Hillary has a protracted historic past of being deceptive and being sneaky. I additionally do no longer think of she's rather all that clever. besides, she has NO thoughts. As for those above asserting they agree along with her regulations, precisely what ARE those regulations? She never, ever says. they don't seem to be on her internet site. What regulations???????

Answer 6

I would not vote for you because many countries around the world would not work with a woman. Having a female president is generally a bad idea. Take China for example. We have a working relationship with China, but it is by no means a good relationship. China doesn't see women as equals. If we had a female president, we would lose our relationship with China. Not to mention North Korea, Iran, Iraq, etc, etc etc. I wouldn't vote for you because the world is not ready for a female president.

Answer 7

not a chance. you attempt to force women and minorities to "better the cause" makes it worse. LESSON terms of convicted fellons? you mean let them back out on the street faster just because there are too many?

Answer 8

No. I agree with more women in office and Legalizing Pot. the rest of your platform is destructive!

Answer 9

I wouldn't vote for you. While several of your plaform issues carry merit, your constant referal to women/minorities concerns me as to your prejudices as a leader.

Answer 10

No. A president with a platform like yours would destroy this country.
