Your Questions About Women's Platforms

Sharon asks…

What do conservatives and liberals *think* they stand for?

This question isn't about whether liberals or conservatives actually represent these causes in real life - there are lots of hypocrites in politics, along with many differing ideas - but rather, my general idea of what liberals and conservatives believe or think their platforms actually are. Agree? Disagree? According to conservatives: Conservatives are in favor of: A strong national defense. Adherence to the Constitution, particularly its original intent. Small government Energy independence. Low taxes The rewarding of a hard work ethic The private sector, private enterprise and entrepreneurship Protection of sanctity of life (the unborn). Reduced government spending - in particular, much less deficit spending or borrowing Laissez-faire economics A tough stance against crime, including more severe punishments for criminals Less government intervention/interference. A greater emphasis on personal, individual responsibility A tougher stance against hostile or Communist foreign nations Freedom of religion A stronger stance against illegal immigration, particularly from Mexico The right to bear arms According to liberals: Liberals are in favor of: A healthy ecosystem and environmental conservation - going "green" Equality of opportunity, particularly for the disadvantaged Greater educational attainment across the spectrum Greater humanitarian assistance to foreign nations in need of it Women's rights Gay and lesbian rights Ethnic/racial minorities and "diversity" Provision for the needy in America (welfare, social net, etc.) Unionized labor Keynesian economics More income equality A more "internationalist" foreign policy A strong stance against large corporations, the wealthy, and the "1%" Gun control

Our pick of the answers:

On Conservatism, you left out one important thing, and that is charity, or institutional charities. They support that strongly. You also left out Private property rights. One thing that you completely took out of character is this: *Conservatives are the ones for Equality of opportunity *Liberals are for Equality of outcome. These are huge differences in philosophy.

Laura asks…

Would you vote for a man by the name of Brodrick Chingrinington for elected office?

I run on an anti abortion, pro baby killing platform. I am also pro gopher fondling. I will end women's suffrage because women have been suffering in this country for far too long. I have demonstrated my maverick spirit by refusing to say the pledge of allegiance in school until the words are changed to "with liberty and thrustice for all"

Our pick of the answers:

You sound just like all politicians, forked tongue.*
