Number one. I do NOT play Democrat. I am NOT Democrat, at least I am not Liberal. I happen to agree with Democrats on more issues then I agree with Republicans, that is it.
However,when it comes to GUN RIGHTS I stand with you, when it comes to curbing and stopping immigration I stand with you. When it comes to opposing political correctnes I stand with you.

Are you sure you agree more with what liberals stand for? Here are some more things to consider. Do you favor a larger or smaller military? The right stand by larger. Do you favor a larger or smaller goverment? Right stands for a smaller goverment. Do you think a rich working man should have a higher tax 50% compared to around a average of 30% for middle class? (Some people say the rich should pay more because they have it. Keep in mind that if a rich man was taxed the same and makes a million dollars he would be paying around $300,000 in taxes for the year which IS a lot more than most pay a yr.
If your interested there are somemore questions to ask yourself. I have found that a good part of Democrats I've talked to was more Republican at heart and didn't even know it.
Yes, I am quite sure.
DO I stand for smaller military? YES!!!! We do not need all those nuclear carrers, attack subs and missile cruisers. Japanese Imperial Navy ain't going to threaten us, neither will Soviet.
We do not need all those heavy Armored Divisions. Soviet "Armored Hordes" have largely rusted away. We do not need a military built to fight wars of 1940s and 1980s. We need a small, highly trained and mobile force. An F22 or F35 is just the thing we need to fight a sniper in Baghdad. A Nimitz class carrier is just the thing to hunt for Osama or Taliban. And Seawolf missile submarine is just the thing against an IED. All this is just YOUR money being given by republicans to their friends who own stock in Military Industrial Complex.
Do I stand for larger government? NO!!! Then again take a look how much the government have been increased under Bush the 2nd.
Do I stand for higher taxes for rich? YES!!! You can't get rich by doing a honest working. You can't become a gazillioneer by beeing a Sysadmin, a Doctor, car mechanic, engineer, research scientist, nurse, construction worker, an architect, an X ray tech, a researh assistant, a tech support specialist, or a Professor in University. Heck, even an owners of local restaurants are not billionaires. Are we to say that some idiot who produces NOTHING and only buys and resells realistate is more important then a doctor or a teacher? NO!!!!
A professor of genetics at UIC makes only about $50000 a year. That isn't rich. A carpenter makes about the same. That ain't rich. I say tax the living hell out of anyone whos family income is over $500000 a year.
There is NO SUCH THING as "hard working rich". Tax the bastards through the roof!!!! The RICH do not pay taxes, trust me, there are so many tricks and write off open to you if you own a business or rental properties that you wouldn't even believe. I won't even talk that the corporations enjoy all the rights of individuals without any responsibility of thereoff.
Abortions: I SUPPORT THE RIGHT FOR AN ABORTION. (Democrat)
GAY RIGHTS: They have the right to remain silent and do whatever they want to each other in the privacy of their own homes. Nothing more. Nothing else. (Moderate Republican)
AFFIRMATIVE ACTION: I am for equality of races and genders. Not on the prefferencial treatment. (Moderate Republican).
FREEDOM OF SPEECH: I support that whole heartedly. Political correctness must die (Democrat).
CIVIL RIGHTS: I oppose domestic surveilance with all my heart. Believing it to be a step to become a fascist police state ruled by corporations (Democrat).
RIGHT TO BEAR ARMS: You should have the right to have anything you want. Up to and including a 30mm cannon. (Republican)
RELIGION: Religion has no place in the federal and state government buildings. "So help me God", "One nation under God" are to be removed. (Democrat). My wife is a pagan. Why nobody cares about her religious feelings?
MIDDLE CLASS: I am for tax breaks for those who make under $30000 per person. (Democrat)
CORPORATION: I am for strict control of the corporations by the government and break up of any monopolies (Democrat).
HEALTH CARE: I am for federal health care (Democrat).
EDUCATION: I am for free education in state schools (Democrat).
FREE AFTER SCHOOL ACTIVITIES: I am for all those, keeps the kids off the street and gives them something to do (Democrat).
ENVIRONMENT: I am for clean environment. I even would propose to impose a tax on people who own a non environmental friendly cars (unless such cars are needed for work). I am against cutting down forests for developing. And yes, I DO recycle. (Democrat)
IMMIGRATION: CLOSE THE BORDER FOR THE ILLEGALS. Deport the illegals, let only "desirables" in. (Patriot)
Do you know why american right is so much against marijuana? Because american right, owns a lot of land where trees are harvested from. Marijuana plants are 5 times more efficient in making such thigns as paper, and would turn the entire wood harvesting industry into dust.
Any more questions? I am more democrat then republican. You will ask me where would I take the money for the programs?? From the military spendings. Put two aircraft carriers in reserve and see how much money will you find. Disband 1 armored and 1 heavy infantry division and see how much money you will save. USSR put everything they could into the military. It didn't do anything good to their people.
Any more questions?
