if you could create your own political party?

[Bono]

Privatize the USPS and end their monopoly, and privatize AMTRAK.

End all trade barriers unilateraly.

Patients have a right to malpractice law suits.

Increase imigration permits to skilled workers.

The United States Constitution does not provide for lifetime appointment of federal judges, but only for a term of office during good behavior.  Support Congressional enforcement of the Constitutional rule of good behavior and to restrain judicial activism by properly removing offending judges through the process of impeachment provided for in Article I, § 2 and 3 of the Constitution.

Limit the national income tax to a max of 10%. Only flat taxation.

Wage and price control are abominations. Illegalize them through a constitutional ammendement.

It is the intended purpose of civil government to safeguard life, liberty and property - not to redistribute wealth.

Wow, that was extreme libertarianism. Above are the only points in which I agree with your platform.
The last one, about the purpose of civil government I would say: It is the "main" purpose of civil government.... and property, and create conditions of economic opportunity for everybody".

Well, at least we agree on something.
But those are just the ideal positions. Compromises could be reached, for example, in the public schools issue, instead of banning them we could return them to local government and end federal and state intervention.

Just a question:
You support eveything on each topic when you only quoted part of it, or you just agree with the part you quoted?

Also, I could drop the stand on drugs easily.

I agree with the part I quoted.
I don't believe that Federal Government is necessarily worse than local and state governments. I always favor small governments, low and simple taxation, no deficits - But I don't believe that certain things need to strictly be done by state and local governments and only a very limited role for Federal Government.
When you say, and I totally agree that the main role of government is to "safeguard life, liberty and property", then I see no need for everybody to carry guns everywhere - That's the role of the government, to protect us. I totally believe in the principle that Clinton said in his speech on Monday night: "put more police on the streets and assault weapons off the street".
I'm very tough on crime, and thus I favor strong gun controls.
Following that argument is my position on drugs. I can favor one of these two options: or every body, all the world, legalizes drug production and consumption and in that way eliminate the incentives to create criminal organizations to trade it (but in order to work it needs to be legalized by everybody), or you really push very hard to enforce and fight against them - No intermediate positions like some drugs are fine and some not, etc.

If you outlaw guns, only outlaws will have guns. NYC and DC have huge gun control, and compare them to Oklahoma City.(OK has very little gun control).

But they had terrible crime rates even before they implemented gun control.  New York has had gang violence at least since the 1850's.  It's the chicken or the egg scenario.

[Starbucks Union Thug HokeyPuck]

I don't know what I'd call it, but my major issues would be

- slight raise in taxes on the rich, slight decrease on poor and middle class

-increase of minimum wage to $7.00

-complete seperation of Church and State, including removal of "Under God" from Pledge of Alligence, "in God we trust" from currency

-full marriage rights to gays

-further stem cell research

-marijuana legaliztion

-disband the FCC and invest in equipment so parents can control their own TVs better

-standard psychological exam for all those trying to buy guns

-cut back money on "war on drugs"

-invest more money into military defensive strategy than offensive (missile defense, threat detection systems)

-reel back any tax breaks to companies that send jobs overseas

-lower voting age to 17

-lower drinking age to 18, more money towards  "responsible drinking" education than "don't drink" programs


Overall, I'd try to remove so called "victimless crimes" and push a socially liberal agenda.

What good has gun control done, than? If the situation is the same, better not run over the 2nd ammendment.

It has been done. Look at the results.

Neither of the things should be taought. It's up to parents to give their children sexual education. But I agree sexEd should be banned from schools.

If by public places you mean state owned places, it's ok. If not, your messing with proprety rights.

End the UN, yes. Creating a para-UN, no.

That's ridiculous. It's just a way to get more ignorants to vote. personally, I think it should be raised to 21 again.

The rest either I agree or I don't really mind.

No censorship whatsoever

"Under God" removed
Let people say whatever, show whatever on TV

[JohnFKennedy]

-Teach "No sex before marriage" not "safe sex" in school

Isn't it very authoritarian of you to teach one and not the other, I would favour teaching both if either so you can allow people to make a decision, what you seem to want to do is force your views into the minds of the youth and prevent them from choosing.

How are they random?

[MHS2002]

Economics:

- National right to work law
- Drafting of free trade agreements
- Privatization of Social Security (partially at first)
- No raising of the minimum wage
- Across the board tax cut (but retain the graduated income tax)
- Create government incentives for companies researching renewable energy methods
- Sensible unemployment/welfare reform
- Significantly reduce pork barrel spending and advocate a balanced budget

Social Issues:

- Against gay marriage but repeal "Don't Ask, Don't Tell" policy
- Elimination of immigration quotas, instead, charge a fee for those who wish to enter the U.S., crack down on illegal immigration
- Against abortion except for circumstances involving the life of the mother
- End race based affirmative action and experiment with class based affirmative action
- Create a 3 day waiting period for guns, institute background checks, otherwise pro second amendment
- End "three strikes" law
- Put away violent drug offenders/dealers, run a smarter, more cost-effective War on Drugs
- Against death penalty except for repeat murderers/terrorists actively plotting against the U.S.

Foreign Policy:

- Build up U.S. military in the fashion of Reagan, expand benefits for current and retired servicemen
- Moderate hawkish views, support of pre-emptive strike policy

That's all for now. I know some of my views are probably mutually exclusive (for instance balancing the budget and expanding the military), but my party would be willing to compromise.

I mean think about it. Someone works to get to be rich. They sacrifice, they work...we should be taxing them because they have achieved wealth? All those "raise the taxes on the rich!" Dems...give me a break!

Oh and we all know the Dems line of just raising taxes on the wealthy turns into raising taxes on most of America.

It's penalizing success and hard work, that's what heavy taxation of the wealthy is.

[Siege40]

Firstly, I'm not a Dem.

Second, a lot of people that are rich can do to have their taxes higher than those who are poor. It's called a progressive tax structure.

Thirdly, so what if it's class warfare, maybe that's what I think is right, you pay your share.

Exactly. No unfair tax on the wealthy! Oh and for the record, no I'm not rich so the arguement that I'm defending the rich because I am rich is false. I'm from middle class Northeast Philadelphia. Just wanted everyone to know that even if I wasn't going to be accused.
