Oh, so you are for certain parts of the Patriot Act, and not others - right ??

Please explain :lol:
 
I think you need a question:

"For going deeper in debt to finance the tax cuts and spending or against more debt"

just to make it clear where folks who want to cut taxes but not spending stand.
 
1. Finish the job in Iraq or pull out?
Pull out.

2. Cut taxes or raise taxes?
Cut or eliminate ALL taxes.

3. Pro-life or pro-choice?
Pro-choice

4. Decrease spending on social programs or increase spending on social programs?
Eliminate spending on social programs

5. For the Patriot Act or against the Patriot Act?
Against.

6. For wiretapping terrorists' phone calls coming into the United States or against wiretapping terrorists' phone calls coming into the United States?
Known terrorists? Arrest them now, don't dilly-dally with fricken wire-tapping. That goes for all terrorists, not just those of arab descent.

7. Fight the terrorists there or fight the terrorists here?
Here, on our terms. Not there on their terms.

8. For the death penalty or against the death penalty?
For.

Then why ask the questions? for the Patriot Act in its entirety...absolutely not. For the wiretapping of terrorist organizations and those who communicate with them? Absolutely. The two are mutually exclusive. :lol:

I wish you had and option for very conservative in your poll my friend..There is a huge difference between Conservative and Very Conservative.......

There is also a big difference between real conservatives and neoconservatives, which would be you NP.

The CBO has said that tx cuts generated more revenue then taxes did.....

You definitely need to cut spending though....I would start with cutting the failed left wing social programs........

Another personal attack from you and adding nothing to the debate......what else is new........I would report this post but frankly you are not worth the effort....

I asked you before when you made such a claim where the CBO ever said that, and you cut-n-ran.

I'm asking again. You going to cut-n-run again? Or maybe a classic NP "look it up yourself" response?

You definitely need to cut spending though....I would start with cutting the failed left wing social programs........

Like your SS check.

No I never cut and run, it has been posted a dozen times........In fact there was a thread on it when the Bi Partianson Congressional Budget Office released the report........I have posted links before my left wing friend and you have missed them...have you ever considered glasses?

Why do you consider the term neo-con a personal attack? It is no different that your claims that people who claim to be independent/moderate are nothing more than liberals. I am liberal....and I don't consider liberal to be a personal attack, I am proud of who I am. Why aren't you proud of your neo-conservatism....why do you run from what you are? Embrace it and be proud of what you are.
 
Where do you stand on the issues? Please answer the following questions in 1-3 words. Thanks.

1. Finish the job in Iraq or pull out?

Whatever will get my family members here home faster.

2. Cut taxes or raise taxes?

Cut them.

3. Pro-life or pro-choice?

Both. I believe in the preservation of life, however I'm not willing to force people to live according to my beliefs.

4. Decrease spending on social programs or increase spending on social programs?

Increase programs for inner school kids and ban Affirmative Action.

5. For the Patriot Act or against the Patriot Act?

Don't really care as long as my rights aren't being violated.

6. For wiretapping terrorists' phone calls coming into the United States or against wiretapping terrorists' phone calls coming into the United States?

For.

7. Fight the terrorists there or fight the terrorists here?

The Johnson thing right? I'm still waiting for the communists to get to San Francisco.

8. For the death penalty or against the death penalty?

Against it. I believe it's basically just legal vengeance.

Ok. EDIT: However, I can't answer your poll as you haven't really defined the terms. I consider myself a Classic Liberal - more or less.

1. Finish the job in Iraq or pull out?

Finish it *correctly*.

2. Cut taxes or raise taxes?

Cut if possible.

3. Pro-life or pro-choice?

I can't answer this in 3 words. I'm pro-choice until a certain term in the pregnancy. After the baby could live with medical help and it's chance of survival is high enough the mother should be given the option to have a c-section if she does not want to continue allowing the baby to live off of her. (Hopefully this option is never taken though)

4. Decrease spending on social programs or increase spending on social programs?

Depends on the programs

5. For the Patriot Act or against the Patriot Act?

Very very against.

6. For wiretapping terrorists' phone calls coming into the United States or against wiretapping terrorists' phone calls coming into the United States?

With a proper warrant.

7. Fight the terrorists there or fight the terrorists here?

Fight the social problems which create terrorists to begin with.

8. For the death penalty or against the death penalty?


Against.

You're just too predictable.

1. Finish the job in Iraq or pull out?

***nuke em till they cry uncle

2. Cut taxes or raise taxes?

***please raise taxes, I don't mind (tongue in cheek)

3. Pro-life or pro-choice?

***create more babies for the future

4. Decrease spending on social programs or increase spending on social programs?

***eliminate those programs altogether

5. For the Patriot Act or against the Patriot Act?

***That's like asking are you pro or anti American? For the act!

6. For wiretapping terrorists' phone calls coming into the United States or against wiretapping terrorists' phone calls coming into the United States?

***Wiretapping to prevent terrorist bombings

7. Fight the terrorists there or fight the terrorists here?

***Smart strategy would be to fight em there

8. For the death penalty or against the death penalty?

***Death to all terrorists and death row inmates
 
Where do you stand on the issues? Please answer the following questions in 1-3 words. Thanks.

1. Finish the job in Iraq or pull out?

I don't believe NOW is the time to "pull out."

2. Cut taxes or raise taxes?
Which taxes? Federal? State? I certainly think both the federal and state governments waste money. I'd like to see that stop. Generally I'd lean towards less taxes however I'd be willing to pay more for worthwhile stuff. In general I'd appreciate more responsibility and accountability for how our tax dollars are used.

3. Pro-life or pro-choice?
Pro-life. Choice is not something I like to see applied in regards to one human deciding the worth of another.

4. Decrease spending on social programs or increase spending on social programs?
Again completely depends on what you're talking about. There are worthwhile "social programs" however bloating the budget with social programs that are ineffective is ridiculous.

5. For the Patriot Act or against the Patriot Act?
For.

6. For wiretapping terrorists' phone calls coming into the United States or against wiretapping terrorists' phone calls coming into the United States?
That's an awfully worded question. But again I don't feel threatened or violated by the government.

7. Fight the terrorists there or fight the terrorists here?
Again that's a question that "assumes" a lot and I'm sure it will bother some. If we're going to be fighting I'd rather not be engaged on our soil.

8. For the death penalty or against the death penalty?
Against.
