- Support auditing the Fed
- Support drug testing for welfare recipients (but only if there's evidence that the savings will be greater than the cost of the testing)
- Oppose restrictions on handguns and strict gun control laws
- Support cutting the Corporate Tax
- Support limits on welfare (just so that people aren't living off the system without making an attempt to become self-reliant)
- Support free trade
- Against amnesty

I support auditing the fed, free trade and limits on welfare. I'm undecided on the corporate tax and generally lean against gun control. I support amnesty though and don't want to test welfare recipients. We seem to be similar in our general outlook, which is rare on this forum!

What do you suggest we do with the illegal immigrants already here?

I support free trade
I oppose public financing of campaigns (no way I should pay for some hate-filled conservative's run for office)
I oppose smoking bans

Well, I still support free trade, but as a smoker, I can say that we will follow the law - and if it is illegal to smoke outside of a cafe or restaurant, we will not do it, which indisputably provides a safer environment for employees and patrons alike.  I believe there is a reasonable balance to strike between personal freedom and public safety, and the prohibition of smoking substances outside the privacy of ones own home is really quite fair when one considers the serious health consequences of prolonged exposure to such toxic chemicals.  It is really no different than banning the use of asbestos in the construction of buildings.

Do you smoke Nat Sherman?

teabagger alert

Faaaaaaaar from it.

Welfare queens are a right wing myth.

Not in the US. It encourages having kids anyway and needs rethought.

I favor amnesty
I support abortion
I support limited gun control
I support gay marriage
I oppose auditing the fed
I oppose government drug tests for welfare
I support a progressive income tax
I support increased government spending during recessions
I support some regulations on the finance industry
I support the green movement

I think that does it.

I think you're the first person I've seen here with negative social/economic scores and a Republican avatar.

I challenge anyone to explain me AHDuke's politics. Tongue

Secular Bush?

I'm also a fairly strong supporter of free trade, although I don't think that's necessarily a counterintuitive position for a liberal to take.

It seems to me that free trade is an inherently liberal idea.

I agree.
