Can talking heads be civil?

(1.) big government - How big should government be? Do they want everyone be a state employee? I think that there should be some federal agencies? Does that make me a liberal?

(2.) Redistribution of wealth - Do they want to redistribute 100% of your paycheck? I think that people should pay some taxes. Does that make me a liberal?

(3.) Abortion - Do they support it for any reason at all up to the day of delivery? I think that it should be legal under certain circumstances. Does that make me a liberal?

Matt, get with the program. Anybody who is not to the right of Attila the Hun is a liberal----on this board. Oh yeah, anybody who has a liberal position on ANY issue is a through and through liberal. Anybody who is not a Christian, and of course by Christian we mean absolute fundamentalist is a liberal. Then of course if you don't like Rush L. you are a liberal. Maybe some of the enlightened people on the board can list the other dead giveaways that mean you are a liberal.

It's all a matter of degrees matt. Grow a nut and take a stand.

Of course, the real answer has been given. Things get loud because libs can't handle in depth discussions. In depth discussions reveal their true beliefs, socialism and anti americanism, which they wish to conceal. They either try to shout down the conservative, or the conservative gets frustrated with the lib nonresponsiveness, topic changing, and general evasiveness.

Yep. I have nuts and I take a stand as a moderate.

Matty for dogcatcher in '06!

Where do moderates stand on the WOT for instance?

I don't understand your comment or implication (if there is one). Do you suggest that a moderate can't be a good leader? Please explain your last comment(s).

It means your answer was a joke, as if you were a stand up comedian, and you'll be performing here all week.

What about the WOT? What is the MODERATE stance on it?

What is WOT? Also, I am an individualist and don't speak for all moderates. There is no definitive "moderate platform" as there is for the Republican Party and Democrat Party.

Uh...Ohay. I didn't mean it as a joke. Whatever. Are you a Republican? If so, what is your position on abortion - to not allow it under any circumstances?

(1.) big government - How big should government be? Do they want everyone be a state employee? I think that there should be some federal agencies? Does that make me a liberal?

The real question here is, do you support a party that attempts to enlarge government or tries to make it smaller?

((2.) Redistribution of wealth - Do they want to redistribute 100% of your paycheck? I think that people should pay some taxes. Does that make me a liberal?

The real question here is do you support a party that attempts to lessen taxes on your paycheck or one that wants to take an ever-increasing amount from your paycheck?

((3.) Abortion - Do they support it for any reason at all up to the day of delivery? I think that it should be legal under certain circumstances. Does that make me a liberal?

The real question here is not about the exceptions to the rule. The question should be do you support a party that is pro-abortion or anti-abortion for the majority of women?

When you say you are a "moderate" that really has no meaning and it's basically a cop out because there is no "moderate" political party in our country. We have a two party system: Democrats and Republicans. Anything else is a waste of your vote.

Moderates have no platform? Why not?

I'm actually prochoice. Though I think roe v wade should be overturned cause it's bad law. And I definitely think it's killing a living human being. Libs who compare a fetus to a wart frustrate me to no end.

Allowing children to leave school to go get abortions without parental knowledge is horrible.

Partial birth abortions are reprehensible.

May god have mercy on my soul.

I'm pro choice because I don't want backalley abortions occurring.

Back alley or at the doctor...what's the difference to the baby?

Interesting revelation. You've taken a nuanced and moderate stance on something. Now watch the zealots jump all over you.

I know. I know. This is something I struggle with all the time. I just can't imagine girls doing diy procedures.

Their criticism is warranted. This is morally dark dark grey.

I think any humane person who is not 100% anti-abortion feels that way.

Not true. I've seen libs get angry when Dem leaders say something like "abortions should be safe, legal, and rare.". Their angry lib response was something like, "why should they be rare? That's saying there's something wrong with getting a procedure akin to having a wart removed!!!" It's true, yet totally unreal.

Coat hangers in dark alleys are pretty much a scare tactic from the left.

Today a girl getting pregnant does not carry the scorn that it did before. A young woman can go about her life pretty much as usual, have the baby, and then have it adopted. Hopefully she will have learned her lesson and be more careful the next time.

Libs are pro-abortion because they have no respect for life.
It really has nothing to do with poor pregnant girls.
