that's pretty selective faulkton. are you saying that the democrats don't propose/support large government programs? they do, at least in relativity to the repubs, who spend the same amount in different areas to be sure. never looked at those $ numbers. that may be interesting. i wasn't speaking specifically about hillary either, i was speaking about the party as a whole. her health care program proposal would be massive. being that the bush administration went to war with her support, it's hard for her to flip flop now. even though she has tried. her husband's intelligence on iraq also played a role.

My point was relative to the the last 15 years as indicated in my first post. If you look at major accomplishments for each party your assumptions are wrong.

The last democratic administration ended the 40 year old American welfare system as an entitlement program and left office with a balanced budget and a surplus.

The current republican administration gave us the biggest expansion of a government health care program in decades, Medicare part D, and will leave office borrowing more from foreign nations than all the previous administrations combined.

The current republican administration has been weak, to say the least, in regards to immigration control.

My initial post should have been clear in limiting this discussion to current political parties and excluding political ideology in general. Sorry if you missed that.

left...right...they are all corrupt. generally against left wing politics, but would vote Obama. special interest groups and lobbyists have got to go. lets talk about these insane pensions these losers get- lets get back to a gov't BY and FOR the people.

i did miss that. i was speaking in ideology as a whole. the current administration has been terrible. completley against conservative views. that's why the pendulum has swung towards the democrats.

I would never vote for Hillary.

I like Obama, McCain and Ron Paul in that order.

I hate Clinton. I would say that I tend to lean more towards democratic policy but I do like some things that republicans have to say. 60/40 I guess.

How different do you think your opinion would be Hillary had the exact stance on the same issues, but was male instead?

Thats the same mindset that got us into this mess in the first place.

Ill support the first candidate that promises to instate drug testing for anyone on federal aid...

it would be sooo expensive, but so worth it.

i dont mind people being on federal aid, as long as they arent abusing the system. i hate drug addicts, and my family was on federal aid for a few years.

this would be a policy that would force me to register to vote, and then i would vote for this person as well.

if you think that we as a country cant afford it think again.

imagine all the addicts that are on federal aid. at first it would make a small economical dent, but all the money the country would be saving NOT giving these people assistance, would help get people back on their feet faster, because they would have to know that big brother isnt going to take care of them anymore.

Looks like social medicine is working great in Canada... It's hard to get treated for an extreme, possibly death causing illness when you are waiting behind someone with the sniffles..

Well, England and France are better models.
Let's get some input from Canadians on here about the public health system.

Not much. I don't think two families should control a world power for 20 years thank you.
