Durger and Rathic:
I hate the labels that political parties want you to wear, but do you guys think you are more like Republicans or Libertarians? I see some of both in what you say. I am assuming Rathic is Libertarian if he likes Paul, but I am unsure of Durger.
Labeling isn't important, I am just trying to get a better idea of where you stand in the big picture.
So in other words, which party are you registered with?
Hillary Clinton and video game regulation

I'll answer that question too. From the ages of 18 to 26 I was always registered "decline to state" excepting the one time I wrote in the Fusion Party. In '96 I was a Green and since 2000 I have been registered as a Democrat.

Adrienna,
I am a registered republican (since I was 18 ), I don't believe in the religious/ moral bullshit the party spirits out. so i would gage myself more middle of the road of libertarian and republican. When it comes to the Federal Government I am mostly libertarian because like i said before ALL welfare programs should be State run and the Feds just need to protect me from foreign invaders and make sure the States do not pass anything to stop my civil rights or is unconstitutional. With state politics I fall more Middle of the road Republican, I like Arnold alot. I still strongly think people need to rely on their family, churches and other social organizations, charities before looking toward the government. Yes I do understand that sometimes people need a little help and the above social structures can not always help, and i don't mind the State stepping in. Like i said it is a smaller demographic and the State can tailor programs around that.
Now Pry, on corporate regulations, the basic answer will be yes they should have regulations. now what to regulate and how much is a much larger answer. let me generalize and spout off a few things they need to be regulated and held accountable for (I will miss some or alot)
1. Safe product/ OCHA regulations
2. proper book keeping/No defrauding the public or employees.
3. Prevention of Monopolies
4. EPA regulations
5. Unions (I know this isn't directly connected to corporation's but)
Things that shouldn't be regulated.
1. Research (unless if directly violates one of the above)
2. profits
Sorry I couldn't be more clear but its earlly

Where did all the good sizzle go?
While I don't necessarily agree with your views, I do respect them. Being able to agree to disagree is one of the things that makes our country great. One thing that really bothers me about politics is that most of the candidates always feel they have to be at the extreme ends of what their parties believe. And so many people stick with a party rather than a candidate. I'm a registered Democrat, but I really only agree with maybe 2/3 of their platform. I strongly oppose the religious principle of the Republican platform, so voting with them was never a consideration. And I love Arnold, just saying. I wish he could be governor forever.
I was going to share some of my opinions about the parties' platforms on specific issues, but it's early and I am tired, so I will save that for another time when I have had a larger intake of caffeine.
