-Most of the people you're campaigning for are from the Mideast region.
-No, I want a senator who will stands up for he/she believes in, not what he/she thinks is more politically viable.
-You have had a vote that was after the voting is over.
-He's in the AFIP, not the UAC.
the AFIP is no more than an offshoot of the UAC you were in the UAC at one point i think.
So (about my former membership in the UAC)? Is it an offshoot of the Progressive Party, too?
Let's compare and contrast (some of our planks are temporary, as are some of theirs, I believe).
AbortionUAC: We support the right for a woman to have an abortion in the first trimester of a pregnancy ONLY, or if the pregnancy was caused by rape or incest.
AFIP: Support Roe vs. Wade ruling. Support abortions up to 5 months after the pregnancy; after that, only in cases of rape, or incest, or if the woman's or fetus's health is in danger.
ImmigrationUAC: Foreign workers are an essential part of our economy, and we support their efforts to improve their lives by entering this country and finding good honest work. We encourage tougher screening of people entering this country in order to provide security to all Americans. However, this should not hinder the efforts of peaceful people to enter this country.
AFIP: The AFIP supports increasing skilled immigration, and filling our refugee quota. We believe that only skilled migrants and refugees will help our country, and therefore do not support illegal immigration. We believe that our nation is great because of the migrants, and refugees, that came here. 'Give us your poor, you're huddled masses...'
Death PenaltyUAC: The UAC only supports the death penalty in extreme cases that can be proven beyond ZERO doubt..
AFIP: Opposed the death penalty; support commuting death sentences to life without parole.
Health CareUAC: The UAC supports a focus on health care, not disease care. UAC supports medical savings accounts for Medicare and Medicaid subscribers, which will provide financial rewards for good health.
In addition, the UAC supports vouchers enabling Medicare and Medicaid subscribers to choose any insurance plan or health care provider they desire, thereby promoting competitive costs and quality of care among medical providers.
AFIP: Work towards creation of a universal, single-payer health care system. Oppose privatization of Social Security and Medicare funds.
EducationUAC: Reform of NCLB, opposition to lifetime job security for teachers. UAC supports increasing the experimentation of allowing private corporations to handle failing school districts (with a watchful public eye over them), similar as to the policies in the city of Philadelphia right now, which has produced positive results.
AFIP: The AFIP supports extensive funding to underperfoming schools, and a nation-wide re-working of education spending policies. We support increasing teachers' pay and believe that education is one of the most important issues facing our nation.
Need I provide more?
Yeah... I'm not too sure if a party can vote. And if he has voted EVERY SINGLE TIME with ALL of the UAC senators... maybe he just agrees with the positions on those issues?
WHY DO YOU KEEP INSISTING HE'S VOTING FOR WHAT HE VOTES FOR BECAUSE ANYONE TELLS HIM TO OR HOW OTHER PEOPLE VOTE? MAYBE HE VOTES THE WAY HE DOES BECAUSE HE
WANTS TO! MAYBE HE VOTES THE WAY HE DOES BECAUSE HE
AGREES WITH WHAT HE'S VOTING FOR, UNLIKE WHAT YOU KEEP SAYING YOU'RE GOING TO DO!
*whew*
Sorry about that rant...
