I think social security is needed because people are too stupid to save money. You know it, I know it.
Social security is a retirement plan, you know why? If the gov didnt take out 15% tax on everything, stores and companies would raise their prices so poor people cannot save any money, and the poor would have no money to retire with.
Social Security ensures that you'll have money to retire with, even if you work at MC Donalds
Only gays and religious people care about the gay marriage issue.
Personally I dont see how that has anything to do with the conservative(smaller government reduced government influence) or progressive (wealth distribution, greater government influence)
Certain guns should be regulated, self defense however should not be regulated.
You do not need a machinegun for self defense. You might need a gun, I'd make it easy to get a non lethal stungun, or myotron, I'd make it slightly harder but still possible to get a low caliber pistol or rifle, I'd make it impossible to get a machine gun, or serious weapon.
Machine guns are an aggressive weapon, you cannot really defend yourself with it, you can only attack with it. For self defense, theres alot of non lethal weapons which work, machine guns are not needed to stop a robbery attempt unless the average robber is a military special forces person out to kill you.
Bullet Proof Vests and other protective gear should be sold over the counter and even given out inn certain neighborhoods,
I'm against gun control because if you live in harlem or south central, you'll need your gun.
I'd also rather criminals legally buy guns from a store so we can track them than have them supporting the mafia or whoever sells guns to the inner cities.
Because you do not need a machine gun to defend yourself from most criminals. The day when everyone has a machine gun is when machine guns should be legal.
Currently most criminals and police dont even have machine guns, let the SWAT team handle criminals with machine guns.
By your thinking, we all need biological and nuclear weapons becuase a terrorist might have them.
It seems like Kucinich and Dean support my viewpoints exactly.

Bill Gates and the other rich do not pay most of the taxes.
The middle class and upper middle class pay about 90% of the taxes, which makes no sense because you have guys like Bill Gates who should pay most of the taxes because THEY HAVE MOST OF THE MONEY.
You are a prime example of why people are avoiding the Democratic party like the plague. I never swore at anyone nor put them down for their political stance, yet you came out like a rabid nutcase.
This is exactly why I avoid the republican party. Its only the republicans who assume I'm a democrat when I disagree with them. Its only the republicans who call everyone a socialist when people disagree.
I'm either with you or against you right? You have a very black and white limited understanding of logic.
All you need to see Deans socialist record is to see what he did as Governor. If you choose to ignore his socilist record that's your poor decision, i can't force you to research it and I'm not about to make a 10 page post about it on a slashdot forum.
Ok point out his record. Show me some quotes, show me some information, post a few URLS, show me your research and how you came to these conclusions.
From the information I know on Dean, George Bush is more of a socialist. It was George Bush who donated 15 billion dollars to Africa, Its George Bush who wants to spend hundreds of billions giving welfare to Iraq, its George Bush who is making government bigger and bigger, spending more and more, all while saying hes a conservative and offering tax cuts.
Funny, but I thought you were a conservative? Are you going to vote for Bush? Someone who clearly is a socialist posing as conservative? Or are you going to vote for Dean?
No matter who you vote for Government is going to get bigger, so why not vote for Dean and at least you'll benefit here in the USA from bigger government.
Or do you like Bush's save the world with welfare idea better?
I never said I was a Republican and you don't know anything about me.
Yes but Dean is a socialist right? I must be a communist because I prefer Dean over sir spendalot Bush Jr.?
You call Dean a socialist yet you dont even research. You dont know Dean's viewpoints. You listen to him saying Bush is wrong on war, and suddenly hes a socialist?
Shut the hell up you ignorant socialist.
Yeah I can use the word too against people I dont like. I dont like your viewpoints, so you are a socialist. At least I took the time to read your viewpoints, unlike what you did when it comes to Howard Dean.
Liberman and Kerry are alot more left acting than Dean, especially Kerry, hes from my state and I knoww a bit about him.
Liberman is a censorship loving big government politician who doesnt even have a real agenda, he goes with whoever he thinks will win at the time.
Anti Gun laws dont even make sense, here in massachusettes its easier to get a pistol than a myotron or stun gun, why?
Its also easier to get a pistol than a bullet proof vest, once again why? Why sell lethal weapons and then ban the non lethal weapons? gun control laws are a joke and only make us fodder for criminals and the government.
I dont want a gun, but I wouldnt mind having a stun gun or weapon which can stop someone trying to rob me. I also wouldnt mind a bullet proof vest.
Most of us arent extreme liberals or conservatives.
I'm not a liberal or a conservative, I'm independent.
On the economy I think progressives have it right, on the domestic agenda, progressives have it right, conservatives have it right on some other issues, like abortion, I'm also against gun control, look if criminals have guns, I should be able to get one, I do think machine guns should be outlawed however, and bullet proof vests and other non lethal weapons should be easier to get than actual guns.(currently its easier to get a gun than a vest or non lethal weapon)
Well, funny but true, I'd rather have a president who understand the high tech world, than an 1800s style president who cant even figure out how to use email (George Bush).

Warren Buffet says the tax cuts allow him to live tax free.

Just retire where its cheaper to live, outside the country, like in China, Japan, Africa, India.
Social Security if it does go bankrupt, will guarentee that I'll leave the country when it comes time for me to retire.
Why? The US is too expensive.
I think most people are too dumb to save their money. Thats why the government does it for people.
IF people were smart enough to manage their own retirement we wouldnt need social security.

Bush increased spending too, so what?
Why get on Grey Davis but not Bush?
income taxes are capped. theres a limit.
Republicans controlled Cali up until Grey Davis, the Republicans before Grey Davis caused the 30 billion.
Remember, just like it was Clinton that caused the recession.
How do you republicans like me using your own flawed logic against you?
This means more Americans will vote. Because now they have a reason to.
Farm Subsidies are socialism. Please tell Bush to get rid of all Subsidies and not just the ones like housing Subsidies.
We want them to move overseas.
If they dont pay taxes and they only hire people overseas anyway why do we need them here in the USA?
Only people like you would use something like Linux.
There is no left or right on military issues.
Only gays and religious people care about the gay marriage issue.
Personally I dont see how that has anything to do with the conservative(smaller government reduced government influence) or progressive (wealth distribution, greater government influence)
Actually Bill Gates doesnt pay any taxes.
Learn how the tax system works before you comment.

Most Americans are liberal I'd say considering California has more people in it than Texas.
Most Americans however are independent, they vote for whoever is the best on the issues.
You also forget independents.
You call Dean a socialist yet you dont even research. You dont know Dean's viewpoints. You listen to him saying Bush is wrong on war, and suddenly hes a socialist?
Shut the hell up you ignorant socialist.

Why do you think people voted for Bush?
