im too politically screwed up to pick one ..depending on what we are talking about you may think im liberal socialist libertarian or conservative
examples?
private schools below the collegiate lvl should be illegal ...if your senators kids went to a public school do you think they would have better funding ?
the geneva convention is a joke ..heres how you win a war in 48 hrs ..bomb every school hospital and church in the target country
people in wheelchairs are crippled they are not differently abled or what ever the newest pc buzzword is ..frankly i dont give a shit how you get around if youre cool youre cool
the gvt should not give tax breaks to people that use hybrid cars instead they should give tax penalties to folks that use suv's
pot ? legalize it !! ( btw i dont smoke)
gun control ? no i believe in the right to bare arms but also with swift and sever punishments for weapons related crimes
national health care please
clinton ? great president
either bush ineffective
reagan another great one ..although a prick

thats exactly where clinton will shine in history as a president
and its also a good way for me to explain how i think both reagan and clinton were good presidents ...reagan ended the cold war and did it brilliantly ..he realised the weakness of the soviet system was in its economics so he led them into an arms race that crippled them financially and eventually led to the dissolution of the soviet political system. reagan also understood these same economic pressures would apply to the u.s.as well but in our capitalistic society we could ( eventually ) rebound ....clinton was the rebound..he came in and balanced the budget w/o massive social cuts ..under reagan and bush there was a substantial military buildup ..to some extent that needed to be downscaled ....in the last half of the 20th century democratic presidents have not been very "good" with the military so i do understand where you are coming from hoyce ...in reality its like any other job you got some yahoo in a suit at the home office who doesnt know shit about what you do but he does get to set your agenda ...very frustrating
and take heart tiv i am a good person ...lol what got you the bomb every church school and hospital comment ? lol it is effective i didnt say i necessarily would support it ..actually im not a military type of person despite growing up in military towns all my life ..wierd how that jsut worked out ....
He also got us out of debt which George Bush put us back in

You guys have to remeber it wasn't Clinton who caused a budget surplus, it was the republican takeover of the house with newt leading in 94'. The contract with america is what led to the budget surplus.
A line item veto, (which should still be in place) welfare reform.
Your right about republicans today spending like pigs, its a disgrace to what they say they stand for, fiscal conservatism.

Actuly most people misunderstand the terminology Clinton never reduced the debt at all he only elimnated the deficit. The national debt, how much we owe to other countries remained. The deficit being the amount of money we are borrow for the year is all he got rid of. Any president can sign a budget and cut fundign to have a surplus for the year (though can be argued if they are properly funding the nations infrastructure) but if we still owe a trillion haveing a billion left over from the years taxes does not solve everything.
Personally I tend to be a social conservative and have no confidence in either major political part as far as economics goes.

QFE
The debt will almost never go away, the deficit was eliminated by Clinton, and it does have a positive impact on the economy despite not being able to make a dent in the trillions of dollars in the national debt.
