I got this listing from this site:
Politics1 - American Politics, Elections, Candidates & Campaigns

When doing this, put them into YOUR order of importance. What might also be interesting is once your done....do a bit of research and find the candidate that holds closest to your views. That could be posted up later.

Have a good one!:s4:

Well, lets get the party started::D

MILITARY, WAR & VETERANS:
STRONG military.......we have a problem right now with extremism and it needs to be dealt with A.S.A.P.........Veterans should be treated like gold! Give them what they need + more for their efforts and sacrifices.

BUDGET & TAXES:
Go to a "Fair" tax system. No more need for the I.R.S.

FOREIGN RELATIONS:
Keep your friends close and your enemies closer. Between travel time and internet communications we need to stay in touch with what the rest of the world is up to.

IMMIGRATION:
Build a wall on the Mexican border and follow the proper guidelines on how to become a citizen.

INTERNATIONAL TRADE:
FAIR trade.....tarrifs on goods that are produced in countries that have false currency evaluations and cheap slave labor.

CRIME, DEATH PENALTY & DRUGS:
Ya do the crime you do ALL the time
You kill, you die
Legalization of all drugs and release those on drug offenses

HEALTH CARE:
A complete cluster fuck the way it is. The system needs an entire clean-up starting at the hospitals, suppliers, etc.... But it shouldn't be a given to be paid for by the Fed.

FIRST AMENDMENT, FREE SPEECH & THE INTERNET:
Child porn, terrorist sites, etc....are NOT part of what I would describe as free speech.

EDUCATION:
Should be completely funded through 4 yrs of College or equivelant program. Take the big money out of the sports program and value it for what it is, entertainment.

SOCIAL SECURITY & SENIORS:
Investing in the private sector instead of the S.S. system is fine but would have to be marked as that so that the funds were actually there at retirement. Under NO circumstance could a person withdrawl before that time. Also, if we quit robbing the kitty like what has been done for years and years.....there would be plenty there for the future baby boomers.

CAMPAIGN & POLITICAL REFORM:
TV makes enough money on what these people do and the news of the day, they should be required to give equal time to ALL candidates.

ABORTION:
Womens right to choose.

GAY RIGHTS:
Seperation of church and state, this is a religious issue. They should still have rights under federal law equal to heterosexuals.

GUNS:
Past felony offenses with a weapon or mental health issues should be taken into consideration. Besides that, if you can afford it, buy it.

LABOR UNIONS, JOBS & BUSINESS:
Labor unions should be able to strike without the worry of scab labor replacing them or the plant moving. If a shut down is needed for some fat C.E.O. to share the wealth ........let it be.

ENVIRONMENT:
We need to clean things up a bit but not to the Gore extreme

EUTHANASIA ("Right-to-Die"):
Your life...do as you will with it

AFFIRMATIVE ACTION:
I think we have enough of a diversity of employers now that this isn't needed

Have a good one!:s4:

I say we do whatever Canada does. Just my opinion, that's all. Canada should invade us...I mean, save us.

Abortion: Don't like it but feel its the womans choice.

Budget & Taxes: No reason in this country to have a deficit. Maybe a flat tax. 30,000 or less no taxes,30 - 100 pay 30%,100 to 500 pat 50%, Over $500,000 pays 75% taxes.

Crime,Death,Drugs: Revamp whole system. Too many crimes made felonies. Death penalty needs to be used more. No penalties for personal use of any drugs.

First Amendment: Should be wide open as long as it does not physically endanger someone.

Guns: Guaranteed personal freedom in the constitution

Health Care: Socialized

Military: Cut military spending in half. We don't need to be the worlds police. Vets need to be taken care of a lot better.If we had socialized medicine they would get the same healthcare the rest of us would get.

Social Security: Should remain like it is. Its a good fair system and there is plenty of money there as long as congress quits stealing out of it.

ABORTION
Not sure on this issue, at this time. I used to be for it if a woman has no other choice, but now I'm not sure, as one could also put up the baby for adoption... but I'm on the fence with this one.

AFFIRMATIVE ACTION
Yes, but as long as it does not give an unfair advantage.

BUDGET & TAXES
A flat tax, I guess.

CAMPAIGN & POLITICAL REFORM
?

CRIME, DEATH PENALTY & DRUGS
Crime might be lowered if drugs were legalized, I think. The death penalty? Yes, I think serial murderers should be given a taste of their own medicine. To me it doesn't matter if they don't suffer like they should... the point is, they are gone from this world, and won't be here to kill anyone else. That's all that matters.

EDUCATION
Should not be an indoctrination center ("Zero Tolerance," for instance). I believe further education (college) should be free (like in Europe).

ENVIRONMENT
Clean them shitz up yo!

EUTHANASIA ("Right-to-Die")
Yes. Dr. Kevorkian did not deserve to go to prison. I do think people should have the right to leave this life if they so wish. Afterall, if they hate life so much, or if they're just too old to be happy, then what good do they do for the society anyway?

FIRST AMENDMENT, FREE SPEECH & THE INTERNET
Of course this all should be free, and the Internet should not be regulated.

GAY RIGHTS
Like P4B said, this *is* a religious issue, mostly fundamentalist christians/evangelical christians are opposed to gay rights. It's their life, why should they not have the rights that they deserve just like any heterosexual person?

GUNS
Yep, but I agree with what P4B said about this.

HEALTH CARE
I believe in free healthcare, like the system they have in Europe (or at least Germany, I'm not sure how many countries in the EU have free healthcare).

IMMIGRATION
Close the borders up... they're obviously not closed.

MILITARY, WAR & VETERANS
Well, a military is needed even if there is no expectancy of war, imo. But I believe that war should only be a very last resort if it's the only option left. Enough with all the war-mongering... enough with wars. War should not be declared and waged for big corporations who are only seeking to profit from the war (although, weapons manufacturers will, but that's a bit different, imo). If war is absolutely the last resort and the only option left, then that's what has to be done, I guess. But that's not how it is now... I believe we should stop policing/bullying the rest of the world.

MILITARY, WAR & VETERANS: Stong military, actually dealing with DEFENSE. Bring our troops home, protect the borders. Because with technology you wont be able to stop every country from getting a nuke. Look at Pakistan now, it could slide off. We need to protect our borders and not worry about the borders of Iran and Iraq. 9-11 happened because of intelligence failure or just plain ignorance. Terrorist hate the AMerican IMPERIALIST. Occupation is driving terrorism and we are bleeding this nation dry. The estimated cost of Iraq will be 2.4 T thats 8,000 perperson in the US..and you could probably count the illegals too.

BUDGET & TAXES: Abolish IRS repeal 16th ammendment. Some other tax, not based on the assumtion that the government owns you.

IMMIGRATION: Take away incentives for immigrants to come here. NO WELFARE, EDUCATION, HEALTHCARE. It is also rediculous that my taxes pay for someone who shouldnt be here, leaving me with less money to take care of my own welfare. Streamline citizenship. You can enforce the border without a wall. You just need to bring troops and national guard home.

FIRST AMENDMENT, FREE SPEECH & THE INTERNET: Exactly that FREE SPEECH. Any ideas can and should be expressed in any way possible. We as citizens should be responsible to censor ourselves from info or speech we dont want to here. Fuck the FCC. Be a responsible parent. obviously you cant do things outside of the law but the internet should not be regulated...its the last source of uncensored information. I dont trust CNN and rather do my own research cause God knows they DONT. Stop expecting the government to take care of you.

Unions - again constitutional right to organize.

CRIME, DEATH PENALTY & DRUGS: No death Penelty. their have been way to many mistakes in the system especially since DNA evidence has become more widely used in previous cases. Noone has the right to take life, not even the State.

Abortion - here is one im confused about. personally i do think its the killing of a living person, however, just let the states decide. If I got knocked up (impossible cause i have balls) I would probably get one. not because I think its ok but because im selfish. Its a right to life issue, noone has the right to take or decide someone elses right to life. Abortion is convenient, thats why we do it. IF we were all responsible we would have to absord the ramifications of our actions, but instead we have sex cause its awesome and abortions when its convenient.

Guns: I will shoot any government agent that enters my house and tries to take away my guns. This is crucial to ensureing democracy and power for the citizens. Dont trust that the government has your back. Germany and Italy were young democracies before WW2, look what can happen. And it is happening here in America, the legislation and executive orders that have past are right out of the Hitler Mousolini playbook. Read "The end of America" - noami wolf you will see exactly what I mean. Right to bear arms is crucial as a last line of defense for the people.

GAy Rights - the constitution allows individuals to enter into any formal contract they wish. It is the responsiblity of the state to ensure that this contract is not broken and thus infringes on the rights of the individuals. Gay marriage should be allowed by the states the Federal Gov shouldn't touch it.

Education - no child left behind was a plan to make our kids politically and historically ignorant. Let states and localities decide how they would best like to educate their populations. This not only offers teachers room and say in the classroom but also opens the door for inovation and experimentation. If a state has a great system it can be adopted by other states. Why have a blanket system that doesnt adress individual or communal student needs.

Healthcare - I think that free market is the best way to go for healthcare. HillaryCare wont work becuase we have 9 trillion dollars of debt. The patients arent happy, the doctors arent happy. The insurance companies and pharmacuetical companies are thrilled. Thats what should be addressed. Universal healthcare will not work here. there are to many people overweight and addicted to persciptions that I dont thin kmy tax dollars should pay for.. I take good care of myself and exercise why should I pay for some chain smoking fat ass's healthcare.

Phyco4Bud - im sorry but you are living in a dream world...The country is in the middle of financial crisis. You want to stay in the middle eaat, pay for veteran to get the treatment they DESERVE, Universal Healthcare, Build a wall along the entire mexican border, 4 years of college for everyone...how are you going to pay for this, sure i think the government should provide hover cars that produce no emmitions but it just cant happen. You must be one of those people who think mooney just comes out of thin air. Oh wait it does out of the FEDERAL RESERVE. The housing crisis is a microcosm of the entire economy. The Federal Reserve prints money and lowers interst rates. They create credit out of thin air. Then make it easy for banks to distibute that credit and noone really every question why this newly created fiat currency has no actual value at all. Our biggest export is paper dollars and with an increase in the money supply means your paychack and savings are being devalued. Take a look at the nose dive the dollar has taken on the "loonie" in just a few short months. Get your shit together and present some ideas that are actually feasible.

How does this work? Are we creating a virtual president from these issues or standing for election ourselves? Anyway, here's a tuppence or two from me. I promise nothing, in no specific order, all are important issues.

ABORTION: Ultimately it is the human right of the bearer of the child/phoetus to decide this, however it is a practise that I strongly disfavour, probably owing largely to the fact I am adopted as well as very clever.

AFFIRMATIVE ACTION: Affirmative action to what?

BUDGET & TAXES: Fuck the economy. Fuck money and greed. Love is what binds the cosmos.

CAMPAIGN & POLITICAL REFORM: Isn't that what standing for president is all about?

CRIME, DEATH PENALTY & DRUGS: No to capital punishment. Commensurate periods of incarcerate/withdrawal from society for violent offenders. All drugs decriminalised and help given to addicts.

EDUCATION: Very important. I want the children of today to be aware of and inspired by organic, sustainable and creative methods and encouraged to deal with all negative issues passively. The educational system must be reformed to deal with the individual childs needs and to harness any kind of talent a child has. It must not be run in clockwork to the 9-5 bullshit work ethos, children must be outdoors in the daytime, not in the classroom. Lessons will be given in the evening mostly.

ENVIRONMENT: The colours green and brown shall predominate the foreground, blue sky for the upper horizon to be encouraged.

EUTHANASIA ("Right-to-Die"): If I was faced with death, or lots and lots of excuciating pain then death, I know what I'd choose.

FOREIGN RELATIONS: There will be no foreign relations, there will be no foreigners. All State barriers will be erased and the freedom to roam granted to all. Clearly a stupid idea from a realpolitik stance, but one which I hope shall win me the holiday of a lifetime on the love vote.

FIRST AMENDMENT, FREE SPEECH & THE INTERNET: Free porn and the internet, dunno what the first amendment is....

GAY RIGHTS: Up the bum, not up the bum, whatever he or she chooses. Cock or carpet, same sex, no sex, sex with goats, lavatory fetishes, whatever churns your turns is good with me. No animals no children.

GUNS: Its not a question of whether we should have guns or not, we already have them now, so basically we need them now. All military defence organisations should be arrested immediately, and tried for crimes against humanity.

HEALTH CARE: All defence expenditure will be directed away from defence and instead given to poor families so that they can buy healthy food for their children.

IMMIGRATION: See foreign relations.

INTERNATIONAL TRADE:Global trading will be severly curbed, unless it absolutely necessary for the survival of a nation.

LABOR UNIONS, JOBS & BUSINESS:
MILITARY, WAR & VETERANS:
SOCIAL SECURITY & SENIORS:

Fucked if I know to the last three. Let the old folks do there thang. Vote for me.

and it isnt FREE healthcare, we pay for it with taxes. Why on earth do people think its a good idea to let the same group of people who brought you FEMA and the Department of Education run the entire healthcare system. We are talking about a almost 20% of the US economy and you want to hand it over to the Feddies. So they make the rules. The same people who take fat campaign contributions from the insurance and pharmecuetical lobbies want to run your healthcare. Come on people!!! Yeah it sounds great everyone gets free healthcare but look at the numbers. Their will be problems. Lets make healthcare more affordable though the free market instead of giving the government another way to control every aspect of our lives. Wake up the more power you give to the government, the less freedom you get.

NOT in order of my importance:

ABORTION- Completely a womens choice. The government shall have no say.
AFFIRMATIVE ACTION- No freakin' way.
BUDGET & TAXES- I believe that having low taxes can fix a lot of our problems. I would fix the tax codes and re-write them all over again.
CRIME, DEATH PENALTY & DRUGS- Harsher penalties for crimes such as child abuse, rape, and other serious things. I also believe that the death penalty should be applied to many more cases. Also, I believe we should bring back harsher ways to kill certain criminals. An eye for an eye. All drugs should be legal, however the punishments for when you abuse them and do a crime should be harsher. That way people learn to control themselves while on the substances. This way no one will blame "the drugs" when they do something illegal.
EDUCATION- Let the parents decide which school their children should attend.
ENVIRONMENT- I really don't believe in the whole "human beings are causing global warming" however I do believe that it is important to take care of mother earth.
EUTHANASIA ("Right-to-Die")- I'm for it. If you want to die then it's your right to do it.
FOREIGN RELATIONS- Screw the U.N.. It should be there for a guidline but NOT a definite. This doesn't mean we don't use diplomacy however, we should but we should have our own interests in heart first.
FIRST AMENDMENT, FREE SPEECH & THE INTERNET- The internet shall not be policed. And the first admendment shall NOT be infringed. No matter what.
GAY RIGHTS- Gays should have the exact same rights as everyone else.
GUNS- Everyone (except for the obvious) should have at least one gun in their home. Gun safety shall be taught to everyone young.
HEALTH CARE- NO SOCIALIZED MEDICINE.
IMMIGRATION- Increase the patrols of our borders, give the border patrolers the right to use deadly force when necassary. If we catch you coming over here illegally YOU WILL BE ARRESTED and charged. NO LISCENSES FOR ILLEGALS.
INTERNATIONAL TRADE- Keep it open. Free trade is why our country is financially good. Also, we shall be able to close trade to the countries that we are having troubles with (Iran for example).
LABOR UNIONS, JOBS & BUSINESS- Unions are horrible. Encourage small businesses.
MILITARY, WAR & VETERANS- More money to the military. The war shall change, I suggest we become more extreme and use harsher forces against terrorists. Veterans will be cared for. No more will veterans make up 25 percent of the homeless.
SOCIAL SECURITY & SENIORS- Scrap social security. Let people invest how they want for their future.
