Here are your answers compared to this voter’s answers.
Social › LGBT Adoption Rights
5>5 Personal answerYes |
Social › Abortion
5>5 Personal answerAbortion should not be a political issue, rather, it should be a matter of conscience. People will get abortions whether it is legal or illegal. |
Social › Gay Marriage
5>5 Personal answerNo, allow civil unions but don’t call it marriage |
the Economy › Equal Pay
5>5 Personal answerHere we go again - Should employers be REQUIRED to.......... That means more red tape and government intervention, and more government spending at taxpayer expense. |
Domestic Policy › Gun Control
5>5 Personal answerThere are a lot of gun laws already on the books, but they are not enforced. Why have NEW laws when the current laws are not enforced? |
Crime › Police Body Cameras
5>5 Personal answerThis should be a decision made by each individual police department - not some government beaurocrats. |
Social › Gender Identity
5>5 Personal answerNo, and repeal anti-discrimination laws for private companies |
Social › Religious Freedom Act
5>5 Personal answerYes |
Immigration › Muslim Immigrant Ban
5>5 Personal answerYes |
Social › Planned Parenthood Funding
5>5 Personal answerNo |
the Economy › Minimum Wage
5>5 Personal answerHave you noticed that wages, on average, have gone down every since we started sending U.S. jobs overseas? |
the Environment › Climate Change
5>5 Personal answerNo |
the Economy › Paid Sick Leave
5>5 Personal answerMany businesses already offer paid leave, and some offer leave without pay. Again, here we go again with the word "REQUIRED", and that means more government intervention. |
Domestic Policy › Drug Policy
5>5 Personal answerNo |
Domestic Policy › Term Limits
5>5 Personal answerABSOLUTELY. The longer a member of Congress serves, the more pork they process. Take a look at the history of West Virginia as an example. |
Foreign Policy › Mandatory Military Service
5>5 Personal answerYes |
Domestic Policy › Muslim Surveillance
5>5 Personal answerI say yes because Shariah law cannot prevail in the USA, and this has nothing to do with race or religion. |
Immigration › Immigration
5>5 Personal answerNo |
Education › Student Loans
5>5 Personal answerNo |
Social › Death Penalty
5>5 Personal answerYes |
Healthcare › Marijuana
5>5 Personal answerNo |
Domestic Policy › No-Fly List Gun Control
5>5 Personal answerThere are two separate issues here: Gun ban, and the no fly list. If people want to buy a gun, let them, subject to existing gun laws. If you are on the no fly list, ostensibly,you are not going to fly, |
Social › Government Mandates
5>5 Personal answerNo |
Domestic Policy › NSA Domestic Surveillance
5>5 Personal answerYes, when national security is involved, the NSA isn't going to check out your info unless they have reason to believe you are doing something "fishy". |
Domestic Policy › Gerrymandering
5>5 Personal answerYes and no. First, fairly establish districts without regard to politics - just an equal number of voters within a + or - range. Only change district boundaries based on population. |
Immigration › Illegal Immigrant Detainment
5>5 Personal answerAnother bad question since immigration authorities, especially in the border states, just briefly detain illegal aliens, and then turn them loose in violation of the USA's immigration laws. |
Social › Women in Combat
5>5 Personal answerYes |
Healthcare › Medicaid
5>5 Personal answerBefore the feds do anything, they have to get rid of fraud and corruption. Next, check to see WHO is getting the benefits and why. Third, change regulations that will be specifically clear as to who, when, where, and why. Fourth, eliminate as much red tape and duplicity as possible. |
Science › Mandatory Vaccinations
5>5 Personal answerRegardless, this should be decided at the state level |
Immigration › Border Security
5>5 Personal answerThis is a bad question. Are you advocating a relaxation of our immigration laws" Are you advocating non-enforcement of existing immigration laws? Are you advocating open cities such as LA or Frisco where immigration crimes are ignored? |
Social › Gender Workplace Diversity
5>5 Personal answerNo, board members should be the most qualified regardless of gender |
the Environment › Alternative Energy
5>5 Personal answerNO tax credits or subsidies unless we can not get private enterprise to do the job; further, if credits and subsidies are offered, most likely, there will be more red tape and government intervention. |
Immigration › Immigration Healthcare
5>5 Personal answerNo |
Immigration › Immigrant Laborers
5>5 Personal answerNo |
Elections › Voter Fraud
5>5 Personal answerI have worked in many elections, and I am certain I have seen fraud, but due to red tap and stupid voting laws, I could do nothing about it. There is NOTHING racial about photo ID - everyone should show voter ID, and photo ID is remarkably easy to get, so along with photo ID, in-precinct voting only, and other voting regulations. it would reduce fraud, but probably not eliminate it. |
Domestic Policy › Patriot Act
5>5 Personal answerNo |
the Economy › Government Spending
5>5 Personal answerFirst, reduce the size of government Second, reduce spending in government, and tightly control the budget. Third, review every government spending program and decide if it is absolutely needed Fourth review spending levels on every program to see if spending can be reduced Fifth, the USA should stop being the world's cop Sixth, make Europe and Asia fight their own battles, pay their own way, or pay their fair share of programs that concern the USA and other countries |
Foreign Policy › Israel
5>5 Personal answerYes |
Immigration › Immigrant Assimilation
5>5 Personal answerYes |
Domestic Policy › Net Neutrality
5>5 Personal answerC'mon, they do this already. You get what you pay for. This is not a relevant question. |
Social › First Amendment
5>5 Personal answerNO, NO, NO!! Nowhere in the Constitution does it state there must be a separation of church and state. People who believe there is are either ignorant or stretching the truth. There is no danger of our government being taken over such as in Islamic states because there are too manyfactions that would prevent it through our check and balance system. Things would be so much simpler without constant government intervention. |
Domestic Policy › Gun Liability
5>5 Personal answerNo |
Crime › Solitary Confinement for Juveniles
5>5 Personal answerNo |
Immigration › Skilled Immigrants
5>5 Personal answerDecrease |
Social › Euthanasia
5>5 Personal answerYes |
Domestic Policy › Affirmative Action
5>5 Personal answerNo |
the Economy › Labor Unions
5>5 Personal answerHaving been in several unions in my working career, I would say - BAN EVERY UNION, but I know that is not possible right now. Instead, there should be RIGHT TO WORK LAWS in EVERY STATE and public entities; this would give employees freedom of choice insofar as support or non supoort of unions, and it would allow ANY employee the right to work ANYWHERE without the requirement of joining a union. |
the Economy › Capital Gains Tax
5>5 Personal answerNO, NO, NO!!! There are enough taxes on capital gains, and even Obamacare added more. Add more taxes and it will take away any incentives for investments. If government wnats to raise taxes, contrive a "renters tax" because renters pay less than a third of what homeowners do, and they get the same benefits. |
Immigration › In-State Tuition
5>5 Personal answerNo |
Education › Common Core
5>5 Personal answerNo |
the Environment › Oil Drilling
5>5 Personal answerNo need to expand offshore drilling at this time since we have an oil glut |
Foreign Policy › United Nations
5>5 Personal answerYes, but scale back our current involvement |
Healthcare › Obamacare
5>5 Personal answerNo |
Foreign Policy › Yemen
5>5 Personal answerNo |
the Environment › Fracking
5>5 Personal answerYes |
the Economy › Overtime Pay
5>5 Personal answerHere we go again - SHOULD THE GOVERNMENT REQUIRE. Government should keeps its nose out of private business because it is more red tap, and an encouragement for corporations to move their business overseas resulting in more job losses. |
Domestic Policy › Eminent Domain
5>5 Personal answerYes, but only if landowners are compensated drastically above fair market price |
Science › Nuclear Energy
5>5 Personal answerYes |
Foreign Policy › Torture
5>5 Personal answerYes |
Foreign Policy › North Korea Military Strikes
5>5 Personal answerNo |
Foreign Policy › Foreign Aid
5>5 Personal answerAbsolutely decrease foreign aid spending. More than 70% of the countries we give aid to vote against the USA in the UN. |
Foreign Policy › ISIS Ground Troops
5>5 Personal answerNo |
Foreign Policy › Drones
5>5 Personal answerYes |
Science › GMO Labels
5>5 Personal answerThe anti-GMO advocates are paranoid. Popular Mechanics magazine points out the about 70% or more of our processed foods are GMO's and have been for decades. There are so many thoroughly false rumors about GMOs, and people believe them. I lived on a farm and we grew crops with "engineered" seeds, and they grew very well with no ill effects on man or animal. |
Domestic Policy › Social Security
5>5 Personal answerAll of the above |
the Economy › Estate Tax
5>5 Personal answerYes |
Crime › Criminal Voting Rights
5>5 Personal answerNo |
Foreign Policy › Terrorism
5>5 Personal answerNo, they are not U.S. citizens and do not have constitutional rights |
Foreign Policy › NATO
5>5 Personal answerRegardless of the percent that other countries in NATO spend relative to their GDP, now is it the USA pays more than 70% of the budget, military expenses and equipment, and the USA is always the first country on the scene of trouble spots. The rest of the NATO nations are playing the USA for a sucker. It is time to equalize support, spending, equipment, budget, and the European countries need to step up and do their part, ore we should pull out of NATO. |
Foreign Policy › War on ISIS
5>5 Personal answerNo |
Science › Space Exploration
5>5 Personal answerYes |
Foreign Policy › Ukraine
5>5 Personal answerAgain, where is NATO? Where are the Europeans? |
the Economy › Offshore Banking
5>5 Personal answerWhy not if it does not cheat on the amount of income taxes they pay. The most wealthy should only be allowed the same privileges as average citizens. |
the Economy › Federal Reserve
5>5 Personal answerThe Fed should be audited, but by a combination of private enterprise and Congress. Why both? Because Congress does not have the expertise to do so. |
Foreign Policy › NSA Surveillance
5>5 Personal answerYEP, we should continue, after all, they are doing it to us. |
Foreign Policy › Cuba
5>5 Personal answerNo |
the Economy › Farm Subsidies
5>5 Personal answerAgain, more government. I am against crop subsidies unless it is for crops that are vitally needed. Big farmers today are very smart. and they don't need subsidies for most crops. Farmers know which crops are profitable, and they are a whole lot smarter than Congress. |
Foreign Policy › Russian Airstrikes in Syria
5>5 Personal answerNO, and we should be neutral as to Syria. Russia supports Assad, and is bombing his enemies, such as ISIS and other factions. The USA should not be involved with Syria. |
the Economy › Property Taxes
5>5 Personal answerProperty owners are "trapped" because they own the property and government knows it - that is why they don't raise taxes on renters - from that standpoint, renters would shoulder more taxes. However, this sounds like like a big boondoggle for businesses, and it is questionable whether there would be enough incentive for homeowners and businesses. |
the Economy › Pension Reform
5>5 Personal answerABSOLUTELY. Switch all public pensions to 401-K plans - the same thing most private companies give to their employees. This would save TRILLIONS over the long haul. |
the Economy › Bitcoin
5>5 Personal answerNo |
the Economy › Trans-Pacific Partnership
5>5 Personal answerNo |
the Economy › Online Sales Tax
5>5 Personal answerNo |
