Abortion: Legal in first trimester, and in exceptional cases (rape incest life of the mother) after
Affirmative Action: Favor in principle; may oppose individual plans
Death penalty: Worst form of murder
Drug legalization: Generally favor
Gay 'marriage': In favour, don't care about the name for it
Gun control: In favor of keeping every gun registered, and of banning gun ownership for those who can't take care of their guns, say letting their kids handle 'em, sell 'em down in the ghetto, use them to commit crimes...opposed to banning some sorts of weapons on their appearance alone. Opposed to laws that award a higher penalty for having a gun at a crime site than for the actual crime
Legalized gambling: Legal, government supervised
Manditory minimum sentencing: Oppose
Prayer in school: School or teacher organized (not quite the same as mandatory) - oppose. Students' - in favor
Prostitution: Legal, government supervised
School uniforms" Oppose
Speed limits: Make them reasonable, not artificially low, but make them.

prostitution?  Completely oppose the legalization of it.  No explanation should be required.

No explanation is, of course, required; however you may want to contribute one if you wish to be understood.

If I may hazard a guess it will include references to 'morality' the 'bible' and other interesting aspects of your personal fantasy life.

The arguments are simple.  You are quite right they involve morality.  I don't expect you to understand that so I don't feel like arguing with you.

certainly you believe that God is an accepter of all people and if it is the only way to get money and stay alive, that it would be acceptable

No.  What a ignorant mindset.  Preserving the short human life to give up an eternal fountain of life.
so you would die intentionally to get to Heaven quicker? I dunnoo... i want to live here as long as i can because i love the stress of the life (since despite it being 100000000x better than Earth, Heaven wont have stress.)

gun control? support, I think more background checks are needed and only guns for hunting should be alowd.

Neat! A gun grabbing "conservative".


Damb Right! I am sick of our kids getting killed, and every morning watching the news and learning that at least 2 more people were shot on my cities streets over the night.

Blame the criminals not the weapons. If kids were getting killed with hammers would you cry, "BAN HAMMERS!!". No, you wouldn't that would just be plain dumb. You'd call for appropriate measures of justice against criminals. But of course you're a "RINO" so I wouldn't expect you to understand that fact.

If hammers were the cause of as much death, then yes i would call for the ban of Hammers. Hand Guns and Automatic weapons do no good for anyone. As far as ur claims that I am a RINO, i could care less what a middle-aged guy from Florida thinks of me. That claim just says one of two things, you either know nothing about me and my views on the Issues or, you know nothing about where the Rebublican partys stands on Issues.

gay marriage? Against - but I don't have an opinion either way on civil unions

abortion?  Against (federally), should be up to the states - but there MUST be a provision for necessary abortions (rape etc)

legalized gambling? support

prostitution?  against, but some form of protection is needed

prayer in school?  oppose strongly if state/local govt/school board sanctioned, don't care otherwise
school uniforms? support - but don't care either way
drug legalization? oppose, but support less emphasis on soft drugs eg weed, but we should ruthlessly smite meth dealers and the like
gun control? against, but am in favour of banning some guns that people really don't need (like military style assault weapons)
affirmative action? oppose (but i have no problem with scholarships for african-americans/hispanics etc
speed limits? Support
Death Pernatly? Support
mandatory minimum sentencing? Support

You have no right to dictate & regulate something that is a constitutional right of every American citizen. And if President Bush and the Republicans agreed with your view of things then why did they let the assualt weapons ban expire?

Are you really as ignorant and thoughtless as your post?

Have you ever heard of the idea of self-defense?

One of my neighbors a few years ago had his house broken into by an excaped convict.  Fortunately, he had a handgun with which to defend himself and his wife.

Thanks. It should be noted that waiting periods do not infringe on people's right to keep and bear arms.

Making assualt weapons illegal wouldn't even violate the second amendment since the people could still keep and bear (non-assualt) arms, resulting in no infringement.

Sober up loco pollo.

First, at ten feet I'll put my 1911A1 against you "sword" any day.
Second, "oversharpened"?
Third, "carbon" steel (is there any other kind?)
Fourth, "less lethal," well at a distance yes.
Fifth, "warning slash"?  ROTFLMAO

I never said President Bush or the GOP shared my views on this Issue, but I do not let one Issue deide what party I am a member of. I want you to give a few more examples of things I belive that are out of step with the President and my party, Go ahead and prove that I am a RINO. I think on many issues I am more conservative than the GOP.

I'm thinking of putting it in. A much better response for him to save face would be to explain how the original purpose of hammers were not to kill things. That wouldn't have helped his argument immensely, but still.

So George, pal, you don't think criminals would get handguns or something more dangerous if they were made illegal? Would every criminal apologize, give his gun up to the police, and become a good citizen? Or would they step up criminal attacks, especially muggings and armed robberies knowing that as long as the police can't respond in time, they'll be unopposed?

That is the same bull sh**t excuse Liberals make when talking about Drugs, "Bad people are going to do it anyway, make it Legal."
