Hey im wandering which political party you supports republicans or democrats. honestly, this is my first post on these forums and hope that this thread is ok (because ive seen the do you believe in god thread im assuming its ok.) Also are you a femenist, anti-gay marrage. Hey also do you watch the O'riley factor?

The only thing I know about the republican and democratic parties is that democrates were proslavery and republicans were against it. That was about 150 years ago so I guess times may have changed a little.

 

 

 

I dont realy care about political parties because every election, everyone critisizes the other party and focus of what the other party did, who gave them money, or how they lied rather than what they will do and their plans.

im an independent, but i tend to like republican ideals alot more then democratic ideals. however, there are some things i disagree with in the republican ideologies.

I see a flame war coming in the near future... I'm going to edit my post as to keep me out of this.

 

but hey, at least Bush can spell Potato :wink:

I happen to be a Democrat...What Bush has done to the U.S. is sickening... (gas prices....)

Sure blame everything on Bush. You act likes he's your dictator.

Can't we just all get along? Save the environment, without we're all gonna die anyways :D

^^I believe thats Democrat...

 

I am for Democrats, Republicans are more concerned with money it seems... :?

Gas prices are controled by oil companies and other countries, the government has nearly no control over industry. I believe a considerable portion of America's oil comes from other countries like Saudi Arabia, we have absolutily no control over this.

 

 

 

I sincery hope you are not of voting age, or even close to it if you base you political actions on $&^# without rechearching it.

Green party.

 

 

 

I have decided that unless I motivate myself to research the candidates I'm not going to vote.

im libertarian. free trade, complete civil rights.

Actully it does. Sending an army to some country. Inspecting the ships that go through, constant attacks. Companies need more protection, buy more protection, higher prices.

Bush had nothing to do with the oil prices or gas prices its the big oil companys exon mobile posted 1st quarter share sales of 50 billion dollars a 250% profit. talk about cash... :roll:

 

 

 

i honestally dont really care, I tend to vote republican just because I agree with their ideas more. Anyayws we are all gonna die some day so why not die happy? :)

If anything we should be making the gas cheaper because we are stablising the countries boardering Saudi Arabia. Sequrity of an oil field does not cost over 100 million every week (1 gallion of gas per week for about 40% of the population in America)

neither.

The oil is on a war zone, it's not easy transporting oil like that.

 

Stablising? We're just sending troops there, not doing much of anything exept get into some fights :?

I want to stay out of this, but I am glad that there are some people that agree with me. (you rock Nick :))

I'm not able to inform myself of these type of things, but I think you are all wrong. Why do I think that? You are all posting what you parents think, and what has grown onto you from them. This can't happen to me because I don't live with my parents.

 

 

 

I think that politics has been so corrupted over the years it is pointless. Neither side of our governments do anything for us through my mind.

Um, I normally lean more towards the right, but I have a few* left views.

 

 

 

*Not many at all. :P

Saudi Arabia is not a war zone. It has had a stable government for about 15 years. The fights your talking about has resulted in the deaths of hundreds/thousands of terrorists (not all of them, but think if each one can kill between 10-100 people of how many lives were saved) overtrown the former government with sadom murdering thousands of his own people, and restored democracy so the people can VOTE. The reasion why we are still there is because of 2 reasions.

 

*Iran is gona have nukes soon and we need to stop them before they use them.

 

*The government is not stable enough to defend itself against terrorists yet.

Has this topic turned into a debate about how oil prices rise by a group of people who I doubt have much experience in real economics? That seems silly.

 

 

 

I lean right - not Republican. I find myself being more and more libertarian everyday though.

This just seems so fitting to what you guys are talking about...=P

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

1. Guns don't kill people, people kill people.

 

2. Therefore we should get rid of people.

 

3. The best thing for killing people is people.

 

4. Therefore we should have more people to kill people.

 

5. In hopes of less people.

The lesser of the two evils.

Boy, I agree with you there. Although Christianity doesn't call for a libertarian society...

 

 

 

I guess I'm a Christian libertarian? :P

 

 

 

BTW, what the heck is Bush doing by signing the Real ID act????? :wall:

actually leaning to the right means being conservative (republican). if you dont believe me i can even tell you where it came from :wink: .

 

i find this debate funny from what ive read so far, because people in this discussion are stereotyping the parties and putting them on a stand (because they dont really know enough about politics (or economics like ghost said) anyway)

Well Saddam would definately been a better opinion if you ask majority of Iraqians. Look at this chart http://www.iraqbodycount.org/ and think again was it really worth it to save few thousands of people from Saddam's hands. If I could choose, I'd rather let 10,000 people to die than kill 38-42,000.

 

 

 

Also, if you wanted to bring democracy, you'd go immediately after Israel and Saudi Arabia too. You don't, because they are loyal to you. No matter how badly are women threatened at Saudi Arabia or how racistic laws does Israel have, as long as they help your economical growth it's ok to you.

 

 

 

I also truely love it how you yankees take democracy. When Hamas rose, you started to argue about it. Is it democracy if you only accept few parties, nominatees or voters? If people wanted Hamas to lead them, you should accept it. That would have been democracy.

 

 

 

Why did you take Iran's nukes here? Do you really think they'd build nuclear weapons to bomb USrael (Israel&USA)? No matter what, they aren't that big idiots. They know very well that by doing it, they'd get nuked back to the stone age. Have you forgotten what kind of weapons does Israel have? Yep, nukes. If Iran got theirs too, the chances of Israel using theirs would be minimal.

 

 

 

Btw is killing part of democracy? http://academic.evergreen.edu/g/grossma ... tions.html
