Level up: 14%, 7 Points needed | | Share Your Views Answer the following questions about different issues.
Abortion:
Prolife or
Prochoice
Healthcare:
Privatized or
Universal
Gun Control:
Strict or
Not
Gay Rights:
Yes or
No
Illegal Immigration:
Let `em come or
keep `em out
Iraq:
Pull out or
finish the job.
Here are my views:
Abortion: Prolife. We need to make adoption a more serious alternative. For too long the question has been to abort or not to abort. Adoption and counseling I feel would give the mother and the unborn fetus a chance. Remember, both are the real victims in this controversy. Not some right wing christian, or some hippy liberal.
Healthcare: Universal for children, senior citizens, lowerclass and middle class who cant afford it. Upperclass shouldn't get free healthcare
Gun Control: Moderate control, make it impossible for career criminals and those who are dangerous to others and themselves to access guns
Gay Rights: Yes, the constitution states in clear text that all men are created equal.
Illegal Immigration: tough penalties for the drug lords and grant citizenship for the illegals here now, instruct the ones wanting to come to go about it the legal way, but also make it easy for them like we do the european immigrants
Iraq: never should of went in from the start, big mistake |

Abortion: Don't get knocked up in the first place. They figured out where babies come from a long time ago. Birth control has been around for awhile too.
Healthcare: Nodoby cares about the poor and needy. You have no right whatsoever to get sick unless you can afford the costs of getting well.
Gun Control: Make the laws stiff as hell. That way you will have to be a criminal in the first place to get a gun. Also, allow NRA members to possess assault weapons with armor piercing bullets - as long as they aim the weapons at themselves whilst using them.
Gay Rights: It's already in place. The more money you have, the more rights you have. You got the green - nobody gives a shit if you're gay.
Illegal Immigration: Make Mexico part of the United States.
Iraq: Continue funding the war. That way, contractors like me can continue rolling in the bucks. |

Points: 13,906, Level: 76 | Level up: 77%, 144 Points needed | | My views:
Abortion: If a woman is criminally or forcibly raped, then she has every right to an abortion. Also if her life is in danger.
Healthcare: Way too expensive. I don't go to the doc that much. Even with health insurance, I can't afford the exams and meds.
Gun Control: Yes, make the laws stiff as hell. But how can we prevent criminals from coming into unlawful possession of guns? Also, a homeowner has every right to protect his home with his firearm. If a burglar gets shot, that's his problem.
Gay rights: They have every right to be married to their partners, and be entitled to any benefits they get.
Illegal immigration: I am all for keeping them out, but who is going to pick lettuce and do the dirty work if the people in the USA won't do it?
Iraq: We never should have gone in there. Look what it cost us: many of lives of our soldiers were lost. PN: I chuckled at your input on the war.

I cut and pasted PN's. He was dead on.
Healthcare: Kids and poor get free healthcare. I started a thread that gave my plan for healthcare. http://www.defendingthetruth.com/hea...tml#post148797 (Ideas on how to fix health care...)
Gun Control: No felons at all. And strict controls on assault rifles.
Gay Rights: Why do they need "special" consideration? What is a "gay" right? Why doesn't the race creed etc part of the constitution apply to them already?
Illegal Immigration: Guard our borders or just forget them. Why have a border is you aren't gonna defend it.
Iraq: We made the mess, now we have to try our best to clean it up

Even if the golden plan was created, someone would tie a bridge project to it and screw it up.

Level up: 41%, 24 Points needed | | Abortion: Both for and against. Educate adolescents, provide birth control, and the need for abortions will wane.
Healthcare: Universal health care for all.
Gun Control: Strict control of handguns and no assault weapons
Gay Rights: I am for protecting gays and lesbians from legalized discrimination.
Illegal Immigration: Against illegal immigration. For restructuring the immigration process into something sane.
Iraq: Pull out. No good will ever come from this war and with all those dead Americans. If the people of Iraq want freedom, they can buy it with their own blood.

Yes a bill that included insurance for adults. Hmmmm so exactly how is that a child's healthcare bill. Congress can provide insurance for the children, however, they keep on trying to expand the bill to include more and more adults.
