ON second list of comments,
Responding to Binks, I believe that the US must increase our military presence especially in the Middle East and other regions of the world to ensure the safety of all in these areas and that that democracy and the free market can operate without complication. If we go through and increase our military presence, a larger military will be necessary creating not only jobs there but hundreds of thousands of more industrial jobs for Americans and placing more reliance on American oil companies so as to keep the revenue in the US and JOBS in the US.

Having a larger military will place less concern in being able to handle our overseas presence and thus be able to focus on tbr demands if average Americans who seek a return to classic traditions and a better nation for our children to grow up in.

Two words for the first part: Cold War. How well did it work? America becomes a struggling economy while Asia in general begins to surge, particularly China and Indian subcontinent. Many proxy wars ensued, with many countries in financial ruin. History is bound to repeat itself if ignored. Blindly sending your ideology and enforcing it costs lots of money which could have been used for different projects.
For the second part, this is utter madness. A large military presence will not ensure stability and good relations. For example, Iraq is in utter disarray after years of incursion. Will more military incursion into the region be enticing for Iraqis? Their homeland is in chaos, thanks to military interventionism in the 90's and 2000's. Also, the blind spreading of influence of American ideals has not always been good for stability. Remember Vietnam? Not many on the homefront supported the spread of capitalism. You know why? They don't like watching their children dying for what they see as a dead cause.

ok... that seems more logical (lol).
Retort to amended statement:"stop all attempts at harming our children."
Terrorism isn't the only threat to our future. Also, blocking all threats is impossible. Threats will sneak by. Small terrorist cells, are manifesting in other lands. Blocking immigration won't help, due to the internet, and believe me, blocking threats on the internet is a continually arduous task.
Also, with such a loose mouth, should we trust a man like you to hold an office of great importance?

Ususally does not mean always.
Also, Paugers, care to elaborate on "bad reasoning."
I retracted the second part of the statement.
Lastly, 2 votes out of 5 may be quite a lot, but it isn't a majority. More people have a differe,t first choice than those who have you as your first choice.

*grow foreign help spending
*let everybody work, no work visas
*take private land but only for things like windfarms or research and give money to those your taking the land from
*let the FBI spy on people, if your not doing anything wrong what does it matter to you
*make national teaching standards stricter(like in finland), education is the future of the world and from what ive seen the education in the US is pretty lousy
*dont make companies have employment quotas, just employ the most qualified
*stop companies from donating to campaigns, some companies will ind other ways but some will also be discouraged
*make companies serve anyone
*limit legal suing powers, everybodys suing everybody for ridiculous things and the only people who are winning from this are lawyers
*shrink the american space programme or change it completely so that its more efficient
*gay marriage legal
*rid the death penalty, too risky, if it turns out you were wrong about the person there is no going back
*implement a carbon tax (fucking tony abbot, removing the carbon tax in Australia)
*no photographic identification for voting
*always give welfare to those without a job but give less if they arent looking for work and more if they are
*legalise marijuana
*gtfo of the middle east including israel
*fracking legal but heavily discouraged and only in areas without people
*prochoice, the fetus isnt a human yet
*take references to god out of american legal stuff, 17% of america isnt christian
*open borders
*no torture
*decrease military spending a shitload
*no gerrymandering
*government healthcare for all, unless its something ridiculous like going to the doctors for a cold or going to the doctor if you stubbed your toe, if you go to the doctor for something like that you have to pay for that yourself


EDIT: just thought of another 3:
*make guns illegal
*slash college costs
*alternative vote not electoral college

Facing topics brought up in Republican debate
>2nd AMENDMENT: While guns are important for some loyal civilians, illegal gun usage has become a major problem. We should ban the sale of assault rifles and make sure all purchases of guns have a background and psychological check (if one was not already taken that year) to verify that the purchaser is not on the verge of shooting up a school.

>POLITICAL CORRECTNESS has gone too far, but don't go being overtly racist or sexist.

>MILITARY STRENGTH is important for keeping our alliances and our world safe, but we must not intervene in every little conflict. We need to stop running up our budget by drastically reducing profits from private deals.

>TAXES should not be flat rate. Keep current rates, but eliminate loopholes. Tax offshore accounts, too.

>THE SUPREME COURT is important, but has been used as a political tool.

>IMMIGRANTS do not need to learn English. We should not force upon them one of our customs. They should do as they please with language.

>ILLEGAL IMMIGRANTS are a problem. We should solve this by a) Legalizing most illegal drugs b) Making immigration easier c) Send military in to destroy drug cartels. d) Financially support the Central American countries

>The IMMIGRATION SYSTEM must be made easier and quicker to pass through. Many immigrants come here illegally because of the wait.

>GAY MARRIAGE is fine.

>ABORTION should not be considered unless the mother is close to death, sick, was raped or in cases of incest. If none of these cases, send the child to an adoption center.
>THE BIPARTISAN RIFT must be mended. Unlike a certain president, I would be willing to listen to both parties. The best solution would be a zero-party system. Other solutions would be to ban bias in news (similar to UK) or to simply compromise.

Guns should be illegal unless you work in a profession which requires guns ( like farming) and even so you need a background check and a licence

Military is strong enough as is, slash its budget

Super progressive tax system billionaires have more than enough money

Abortion is mother's choice, baby isn't alive yet

Make most drugs legal but put rehabilitation centres for users

Paugers,
Why would an average citizen need an assault rifle?
What do you have against background checks?
Also, GIVE EVIDENCE. YOU ARE BASING YOUR CLAIMS OFF NOTHING. SERIOUSLY...

Why does the government need assault rifles? Gun control is not gun control it is advocating one person with a gun taking a gun from another.

Are these not party-only threads? I thought the debates happened later?

Anyway I'd like to drop out because I think the organisation is quite poor.
