(1) We support smaller government, smaller national debt, lower deficits and lower taxes by opposing bills like Obama’s “stimulus” bill;
Not bad, check
(2) We support market-based health care reform and oppose Obama-style government run health care;
First, it's not entirely government run helath care, it's PUBLIC OPTION. Though I'm undecided on this, I'll vote yes for the purposes of this thread.
2
(3) We support market-based energy reforms by opposing cap and trade legislation;
Cap and Trade is market based (to an extent) but I agree, it is pretty f***ing stupid.
(4) We support workers’ right to secret ballot by opposing card check;
I seriously don't understand what is the big whohaw about secret ballots, I mean really have you heard of the freedom of privacy for god's sake. Mega agree
That is 3 serious "yes" votes so far.
(5) We support legal immigration and assimilation into American society by opposing amnesty for illegal immigrants;
How does a resounding "hell no" sound to you?
1 No, 1 hesistant yes, and 3 serious yes
(6) We support victory in Iraq and Afghanistan by supporting military-recommended troop surges;
Strongly disagree, victory would be to stop sending thousands of young men and women to their deaths and to stop wasting hundreds of millions of dollars in pursuit of an illogical war in Iraq. Afghanistan? That's kind of a grey area.
2 Nos, 1 hesitant yes, and 3 serious yes
(7) We support containment of Iran and North Korea, particularly effective action to eliminate their nuclear weapons threat;
Because third world cracker barrel nations pose a serious threat to American sovereignty and are stupid enough to wage World War III? My ass they are.
3 Nos, 1 hesitant yes, and 3 serious yes.
Oh look I already failed the test!
(8 ) We support retention of the Defense of Marriage Act;
Hells to the no, the government has no business legislating morality or marriage
4 Nos, 1 hesitant yes, and 3 serious yes.
That means if I were to include the hesitant yes right now I'm only 50% Republican
(9) We support protecting the lives of vulnerable persons by opposing health care rationing and denial of health care and government funding of abortion; and
Undecided, though let it be known that we are not even discussing a Single-Payer system we are only discussing PUBLIC OPTION!
However, I would mostly oppose such a view, so I guess another hesitant "yes"
4 Nos, 2 hesitant yes, and 3 serious yes.
(10) We support the right to keep and bear arms by opposing government restrictions on gun ownership.
Hell yes, I'm not going to even address why this should even be an issue.
4 Nos, 2 hesitant yes, and 4 serious yes
Shockingly I seriously agree 40% of the time with Republicans, 20% I hesitantly agree, making it 60% agreement with the Republican Party. Shocking.
Why 8 of the 10? Because Ronald Reagan once said "that someone who agreed with him 8 out of 10 times was his friend, not his opponent." Makes perfect sense.
Hell, Reagan could fail this test.
See Options 1, 5, and even 8 or 10 if I wanted to be real generous (look at his record as governor of California and his daughter's recollection of how he described homosexual Hollywood actors, plus didn't Reagan sign some gun control legislation? I could be wrong.....). Hell I might've missed some.
