No party agrees with my politics (McCain, unemployment, healthcare, radical)

[ARPARP]

I don't like it how no party in politics agrees with my views.

I think we need lower taxes and less business regulation of small businesses and stuff but I don't see why it has to be either socialism or no taxes at all. I want lower taxes, I want simpler taxes, I don't want to pay no taxes. That is why I hate the Tea Party protest because they hold up a perfectly legitimate issue but take it so far to the extreme. Without taxes we'd have no society, the capitalism we love is created by government, sorry but we need some taxes, albeit list.

We should have unemployment laws, we should also have very limited welfare especially welfare to work. Less welfare state than we do now. I agree a lot of poor people are lazy, I know many of them. At the same time when Hillary Clinton proposed universal pre-k conservatives complained she was a socialist. I do not like Clinton but I agree here. We want people off welfare but then conservatives expect kids to raise themselves? Well maybe we wouldn't have so many single mothers on welfare if we had universal pre-k and made them get jobs, but apparently conservatives would rather have what we have now then make a compromise. I also think we need free healthcare, public education, and decent public transit where America is failing.

Also, socially I don't give a crap. Why can't we agree to live and let live? Why does each side need to impose their views. Conservatives want to sit around and judge gays and lesbians and this is judgmental, but guess what hippy? When you gripe about people eating meat it is the same thing. Shut up and let people live their lives.

Foreign policy, why do we need to be the worlds police? Maybe if we cut back unto having to invade everything and had non-interventionism we'd be better off and have less taxes.

Also, we need free trade and immigration. Those who oppose this are idiots.

Also, environment. We need to have clean water and air. Thank God we do, I love it that we are not like latin America with diseases in the water. I thank God the progressive era happened and we cared about this issue. Now it has gone too far. We close down logging because some stupid endangered owl nests there. I care about the environment so far as it goes to protecting peoples lungs and having clean water, but animals and plants have no rights and we shouldnt hold it up for some hippys romantic ideology.

Crime. I say Giuliani did a good job with broken window stuff. It works. We need what works. Quit complaining so much about criminals rights because they shouldnt have done the crime. On the same hand the death penalty does not lower crime.

I am just sick and tired of it. I voted for Bob Barr in 2008 because John McCain was pro-war and Barack Obama is too far to the left, not as if I agree with libertarians. too radical. Basically my main beef is that I know I am not a liberal, it is just that conservatives, but having to have the most extreme position, have failed to present a good alternative.

[LML]

Neither of the big two parties NOR any of the third parties agree with my political beliefs either. I tend to vote for the candidate that I agree with on more issues than the other candidate. But it does get discouraging. I know that there will never be a party that I agree with 100% of the time but I am talking about some issues that are very, very important to me and half of them the Democrats disagree with me on and the other half the Republicans disagree with me on. Same with the 3rd parties. Very frustrating.

[Theliberalvoice]

Right. I feel the same.

As LML so rightly said, there will not be a party which I can agree with 100 percent. I agree with liberal and conservative views.

So I go with the party that matched my ideals the most which is the Democratic party.
