So, you say you aren't just a party line type of person?

[petegz28]

Ok, let's just see how reasonable people here are. I want you to tell us what policies, concepts, beliefs, you support that are championed by an opposing party.

Of course I will start.

As a right leaning person I support the Left on the following...

1. Gay marriage
2. Legalize Pot
3. Streamlined immigration process
4. Abortion for rape and incest victims
5. Stronger background checks on firearms

Drugs, guns, sexual orientation, etc. I don't know what party the falls under, but that is what I believe.

It's called freedom and personal responsibility.

Drinking age? I think it should be 18. Now I know there's a lot of immaturity and stupid when it comes to being 18 and being drunk, so if bars/clubs etc want to keep a minimum age of 21 to enter their establishments then that's up to them. I just think it's stupid that you can be considered a legal adult and sign off on loans etc, vote, smoke cigarettes, fight combat in a war and risk your life, but you can't buy alcohol. No reason why this law can't model the ones set in England.

Legalize pot for recreational use. No reason not to. The war on drugs is pointless, does absolutely no good, it forces people to grow, use, buy in secret and it leads to more death, and it wastes billions of tax dollars.

Gay marriage? I don't agree with it, I think it's gross and weird as hell and I don't think they're real men, however it's none of my business and it shouldn't be the governments either. If a church is willing to marry two homosexuals, then good for the homos. No reason why they shouldn't be able to find true love. I do think there are some issues though when it comes to adopting children. That's a different argument for a different day.

Abortion? Personally I'm pro-life. There are exceptions like rape, incest, or if it's medically necessary to have abortions. But I believe life begins at conception. But just like gay marriage I don't think this should be the govt' business nor should it be mine. Being Pro-Life is just my personal belief and If someone wants to be pro-choice then that's up to them. But I'm not going to pay for it. No way in hell do I want my tax dollars to pay for abortions, clinics, etc. Just like I don't want my tax dollars paying for someone to have their tits enhanced. If they can't pay for it, then welp, looks like you're having the kid and then you can put it up for adoption.

We need massive immigration reform. We need to bring our troops home from overseas and put them on the borders instead. At least that'd be a start in the right direction.

I don't think there needs to be stronger background checks on guns. The federal govt already knows everything or can find out anything about a person. We don't need more gun control. We already have many laws on the books on what you can have as a weapon and where you can have them etc.

I don't understand the question. Democrats and Republicans support the same policies. How do you tow the line with one but not the other?

This is pretty much exactly my political leanings.

[BigMeatballDave]

Pro-weed
Pro-life
Pro-Capital punishment
Pro-Gun. No more new laws. Enforce what is already there.
Homosexuals are humans. They have just as much right to be as miserable as heteros.

Small government. Very small.

That's my personal opinion. To see these men act flamboyant (sp?) and feminine is just really gross, and I just choose to stay away from it. I work w/ a few that come into work w/ tight leather pants, bandanas I mean the whole 9 yards and really I'm surprised mgmt doesn't say anything to them....of course as soon as that door is opened it's discrimination. Doesn't mean gays can't get married if they choose. That's up to them not me. Hell if you wanna be really weird and wanna marry your goat if you're some farmer out in Utah or something, go ahead, that's not my business nor should it be the govt.

Snark much? That's his personal point of view. At least if the govt is out of it, then we all get to have our own view about it without forcing it on someone. Personally, I think it's between a man and a woman by definition, and odd but I support govt being neutral on it. And I have nothing against gay people. In fact there's gays that don't support gay marriage because the gay lifestyle is about sexual liberation.
