Welcome to Gaia! ::

Okay so this is about American politics. If you know about American politics/ the candidates, then totally feel free.
So from my spoon...
I like Barack for Democrats, and for the Republicans [I am a republican], I don't know really. And it depresses me. I liked Fred Thompson but he Resigned. Now i'm part of Team Mitt. Everyone tells me he's too plastic. Frankly I don't care if a person is plastic. It depends on whether or not they can run a country or not! I personally have some odd views. Like I am pro CONDITIONAL abortion. Like if a person is raped. Then they get pregnant unwillingly. I am not pro abortion if somebody made a mistake and forgot to pay a few bucks to get some protection. I don't think that is worthy of abortion rights. So Yeah. Conditional. Even though it would be kind of difficult, I mean if you got like a police report to show it to the doctor or something I suppose. Anddddd....I am pro taxes. Not high taxes. But Taxes. We are in debt up to our eyeballs. We don't need to overtax because that's bad for economy, but we don't need to do any major tax cuts to put them below what they were either, and that's what a fair amount of democrats seem to believe we need. I am pro oil drilling in Alaska, though I think it may harm the environment, there are more environment friendly ways now, according to some site I read. If that is indeed true, that's a good thing. But we are so in debt we need to be more self-reliant, imo. It's almost necessary. Because with all these war funds and such, there's no way we'll dig ourselves out of this hole unless we move forward. I'm anti chinese imports for the most part. We got avarian flu and lead from their factories and such. Not good. If they clear up their problems and stop causing health hazards, then we should look back into it, but we don't need any more suffering. Andddd... Guantanamo Bay...I'm for it. Waterboarding--they aren't going to die. It just makes it difficult to breathe for awhile, and if that saves a bunch of people from a possible death because of attack, go for it. I just wonder if they won't say anything aybody wants to hear even if it isn't the truth to get it to stop.
And war? I'm pro war right now. We've gone so far with this war and caused so many deaths, imo, I'd hate for that to be in vain. They died for country and to help others. If the others aren't helped, then there was no good cause in their dying. I think we should finish what we started.
If any more other causes you have questions about my opinion on, shoot. I most likely have an opinion. I'm well read on this stuff for the most part, I think. But if you have proof somethign I believed to be fact that I based my opinion on is false, please show me proof so I might learn something.
I'll admit I have big flaws sometimes in that area. I hope I didn't just sound totally stupid though. And please nobody, don't yell at each other or anything. If you disagree, just say so, but no fights allowed. ;3
Sorry for the long political jumble.




Who do you want to be president of the united states?
Who do you THINK will be president of this country?
What makes a difference to you and wins you over for a candidate?
Have you had any other candidates and switched ? Why?
What political things are really important to you?

Personally, I don't believe in abortion. My sister's had, like, three, and I think that's why I don't like it.

I think our current president is an incompetent monkey who doesn't have the brains to run a lawnmower.

I'm not sure.

I want someone who will stop the war and bring the soldiers home.

I have no answer for the rest of the questions, because I'm fourteen and lately haven't been paying that much attention to all the politics. Sorry. sad

Oh, Volly, you're not lame D:

I believe in abortion... But I'd rather them give up the kid instead of killing.. But sometimes it's necessary D:

I think our president is an epic failure.

That's all.

For democrats, Obama.
For Repubs, IDK.
Yeah, I would never get an abortion, but I think there should be a choice. 3nodding

Dennis Kucinich has dropped out, that made me cry gonk I think he had such a good campaign going on, I mean with the issues and all. You americans just aren't fond of smart candidates.

If Obama winns he should have a mexican female vice-president <: I don't know who else I would have voted if I wouldn't have voted for Kucinich (It's nice to play this 'What if game' here in Europe) because I don't know which one of the popular candidates is the lesser of two evils.
