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

13 of 21

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 Uni... More..

Politics, News & Issues > Political Issues Should the United States have universal health care?

38 of 60

I don't believe that the United States should have universal health care because everyone in the United States doesn't want it and it shouldn't be forced on people who don't want it. Young, healthy people don't need it. Health insurance is for sick people. If I'm young and healthy, I shouldn't be forced to purchase it or my ... More..

Politics, News & Issues > US Elections Archives US elections 2008: Assessing Hillary Clinton's appeal to the "blue collar" vote

8 of 12

Hillary Clinton doesn't have much appeal among blue-collar voters particularly of the male gender. Many traditional men especially those who have served in the military don't like women who are forceful and demanding like Mrs. Clinton. Her continuous selling of herself as someone who is tough becomes tiresome after awhile. H... More..

Politics, News & Issues > Presidential Elections 2008 Should the next President raise taxes or cut programs to help pay off the national debt?

2 of 3

The next President will have to do both: raise taxes and cut spending to reduce the national debt. There are many reasons why we have a national debt: corporate welfare, wasteful and unnecessary spending by the congress and president. This has occurred no matter who is in power or which party controls the majority in congres... More..

Politics, News & Issues > US Elections (Other) Future Presidents of the United States

20 of 29

McCain is a maverick on tax cuts, reducing waste in government, electoral reform with the McCain-Feingold Campaign Finance Reform law and isn't tied down to the social conservative wing of his party. He supports open immigration and free trade which ingratiates himself with the Business Roundtable and the U.S. Chamber of Com... More..

Politics, News & Issues > Constitutional & Contract Law The second amendment: Not outdated

23 of 32

I disagree that the second amendment is outdated. If the government takes away the right of private citizens to bear arms, they will take away all rights eventually. Nazi Germany decided that ordinary citizens couldn't bear arms. Taking away the second Amendment is always one of the first steps of a totalitarian, dictatorial... More..

Politics, News & Issues > Bush Administration Judging George Bush's performance as president

66 of 88

George W. Bush has been a complete failure as President of the United States. Regarding economic policy, his tax cuts that were passed by the Republican controlled Congress at the time have led to huge federal budget deficits. When he became President on January 20, 2001, we had a budget surplus. I realize that September 11,... More..

Politics, News & Issues > US Elections (Other) Why or why not vote in elections

32 of 42

I agree that more young people as well as every registered American citizen should vote in all elections. One of the reasons that politicians don't represent young people is that they don't vote in large numbers. It's a self-fulfilling prophesy of sorts. You can't expect to get represented if you don't participate. As with m... More..

Politics, News & Issues > Party Politics & Ideology A country divided: Political tensions building in America

40 of 52

The United States Of America is the official name of our republic. However, throughout American history, we have been divided as a people. We have been divided along economic, social, class, racial, gender, nationality, age and political lines. Why is this? Because all human beings are different and raised differently. Every... More..

Politics, News & Issues > US Elections Archives US elections 2008: Assessing the possibility of a Clinton-Obama ticket

24 of 31

If Hillary Clinton wins the Democratic Party presidential nomination, she needs Barack Obama more as her running mate than he needs her. Why? Because Hillary has been having trouble attracting the wealthy, ''limousine liberal'' crowd to her campaign. She also needs support from people under 30 years of age. This applies to b... More..
