Politics, News & Issues > Politics, News & Issues (Other) Can democracy survive in a politically correct world?

14 of 28

Democracy can't survive in a politically correct world because not everyone is liberal. I say this because that is what political correctness essentially means. In my opinion, it's the suppression of conservative or old-fashioned thought relating to every aspect of our lives(not just politics).In terms of the environment, it'... More..

Politics, News & Issues > US Elections (Other) Will a third-party candidate ever become president in the US?

10 of 20

I believe that a third-party candidate will become president of the United States by 2016 or sooner. More people are registering as independents. Less people are satisfied with the Democratic and Republican parties. More young people are registering as independents. Due to the heightened dissatisfaction with the Congress, mo... More..

Politics, News & Issues > Presidential Elections 2008 US elections 2008: What conservatives want

1 of 2

This depends on what you mean by ''conservative.'' Neo-conservatives control the present Republican Party. President Bush is a neo-conservative. They are big government conservatives who voted to expand Medicare. It now includes prescription drug coverage. Although some senior citizens don't have supplemental health insurance... More..

Politics, News & Issues > US Elections (Other) Should senators and congressmen have a term limit?

11 of 21

I disagree that senators and congressmen should have a term limit because, essentially, we have one already. They are called elections. No one to my knowledge runs unopposed. A voter has two and sometimes more choices to decide. The real problem is with the American voting public. They complain but few participate. Who are th... More..

Politics, News & Issues > Party Politics & Ideology Pros and cons of the Democratic and Republican parties

8 of 15

Pros of the Democratic party: A. Through their spending policies, they represent the middle class and poor people in this country much more than the Republicans. B. They represent unionized workers much more than the GOP. They want more workers to be unionized. C. They care more about the environment than the Republicans. Dem... More..

Politics, News & Issues > People in the News Verbal terrorism, political correctness and Don Imus

7 of 13

Don Imus made a funny and honest remark about the Rutger's women's basketball team. It wasn't a diatribe against black women. Al Sharpton and Jesse Jackson certainly have the right to criticize Imus but I blame the culture of political correctness for Imus' firing. If Imus were black and he was making a joke about a white fe... More..

Hillary Clinton and Barack Obama have been engaging in a verbal skipping dance regarding NAFTA or the North American Free Trade Agreement that was passed by Congress in November 1993 and which took effect on January 01, 1994. Former President Bill Clinton broke ranks with the labor and environmental wings of his party in figh... More..

Politics, News & Issues > Presidential Elections 2008 US elections 2008: John McCain picks up steam

6 of 11

John McCain has the advantage right now in the Republican presidential primary. McCain won 25% of the socially conservative ''evangelical Christian'' vote in South Carolina. Although former Arkansas Governor Mike Huckabee won 40% of that important Republican demographic in the Palmetto State, he didn't win it overwhelmingly. ... More..

Politics, News & Issues > Presidential Elections 2008 US elections 2008: Issues Democrats can use to woo voters away from John McCain

10 of 17

1. No more Free Trade Agreements: If the Democratic nominee is smart as well as the Party itself, they will focus on McCain's support for NAFTA, the WTO and CAFTA. Our entry into the WTO as part of GATT takes away individual sovereignty from the United States and places our trade policy into the hands of an unelected and unac... More..

Politics, News & Issues > Party Politics & Ideology Assessing the future of gun rights in the US

12 of 20

The future for gun rights in America is grim. More people seem to blame guns for crimes without focusing on the criminal. Gun control groups have an upper hand in state legislatures. The media always refers to ''gun crimes'' rather than focusing on the person who perpetrated the crime. Many big-city mayors throughout the Unit... More..
