What is the primary purpose of government?
To serve the common good of the citizens that established said government.
To preserve the rights that a collective society left to its own devices will not preserve itself.
I'm not sure, after we're done funding another National Endowment for the Arts piece I think we should commission a tax-payer funded study to find out.
Let's give it some more money and see what happens!

How much of their income should "rich" people pay in taxes?
The same as everyone else, because they earned it the same as everyone else.
Maybe a little bit more than the average citizen, because they obviously benefited from living in this great country.
Twice the average rate, because I hate rich people (Other than myself, that is).
90%, I think "rich people" are what is wrong with America.

What is the best way to improve military moral?
Raise their pay, spend enough money to get them the best gear possible, and conduct our country in a manner worthy of their sacrifice.
Thank them for defending our country at home and abroad when many aren't willing to.
Call them "murders" and "rapists" while they're risking their necks for us half-way around the world.
Constantly proclaim that all those who are making the ultimate sacrifice are doing so in vain.

How should U.N. Resolutions be viewed?
The sometimes noble ideas of a group of nations chartered to try to bring about international stability.
We're in the U.N. by choice, unless the resolution is clearly against our core values, we should abide by it.
As the word of God unless France tells us otherwise.
As the word of God.

We went to Iraq because...
The world believed that Hussein was a brutal, oppressive dictator that most likely had weapons of mass destruction and was behaving as a man who did have such weapons at his disposal.
Because it was the right thing to do, regardless of WMD's.
To finish off what George H.W. Bush didn't.
I know absolutely nothing about anything, so I'm just going to chant something about blood and oil.

Supply-side or Demand-side economics?
Supply side all the way. By producing goods jobs are created, which in turn creates the means for demand to be established.
Both, it's working for Bush now.
Demand side alone, we should increase the "welfare" standard of living to $30,000 a year just to piss of the people that actually work at minimum wage.
Whichever one involves total redistribution of wealth, comrade.

The Judicial Branch of the Federal Government is supposed to...
Determine the constitutionality of legislation, and provide a means for the three-way system of checks and balances.
Be 1/3 of the Federal Government, not the final say in every political discussion.
Do pretty much anything, the Warren Court was perfect.
Mandate law when the people and/or elected officials will not... or was that the legislature? This government stuff is all so confusing...

Do you support drilling for oil in remote areas of Alaska?
Yes, while fossil fuels are not the best long term option, we need to not be dependent on the Middle East for our energy resources.
Yes, this would be a good R.O.I. seeing as such a small percentage of the land would be affected.
Yes, I live there and I'm going to see a pretty penny in the "permanent fund" thanks to that!
No, what if a bear falls in the hole we dug? Besides, we should all ride bikes everywhere, and not shower either.

How do you view minimum wage?
As a negative. The market will pay a fair rate if left to its own devices.
As a negative. It raises unemployment, thereby hurting everyone.
A necessary evil.
The best thing since collective farming!

Did you vote for Gore in 2000?
No, I voted for Bush because I liked him.
No, I voted for Bush because he was better than Gore.
Yes, I voted for Gore because I liked his endearing personality.
No, I voted for Nader.

The Worst President in History was/is?
Really, each president has his "ups" or "downs". For instance, Andrew Jackson was a brilliant statesman, but supported the forced removal of the Indians. Therefore, I hesitate to choose without first narrowing the question.
Jimmy Carter. He gave away the Panama Canal and held "Vigils" for our hostages held by terrorist, what determination!
Ronald Regan. I really wish he wouldn't have won the Cold War, Communism would have been so cool in America
George w Bush. He's a rich white male who choked on a pretzel. Dang him. Dang him to heck.

So what about S-E-X?
Please? Not much else to say here.
Between two consenting adults in the privacy of their own home/hotel/car, excellent.
Government should stay out of our sex lives and our bedrooms except when it comes to using public funds to hand out condoms to schoolchildren.
Extra-marital sex and drug use are matters of public scrutiny if you run for governor of California as a Republican, but are private matters if you are a Democrat who is President of the United States.

Do you think the media is biased?
Yes, but I learned to think for myself a long time ago.
Yes, but not so biased as to be completely worthless; you just have to search for the truth a little harder sometimes.
No, it tells the whole truth and nothing but the truth. Besides, thinking gives me a head-ache.
I think Fox News is biased, but NPR isn't.

Finish this sentence: Bill Clinton...
disgraced the honor that the office of the president was supposed to hold. True, he was not the first, and chances are he will not be the last, but he did have a certain knack for doing just the wrong thing.
was an ineffectual president at best, and he allowed himself to become consumed by a scandal that would not have occurred had he not lied under oath.
was the victim of "...a vast right-wing conspiracy" ... my goodness that's catchy!
was the best president ever, I certainly do miss "We are the President"-Billary.

Libya finally "coming around" was a result of?
Our hard-line policy and definitive actions in Iraq.
Successful diplomacy by the Bush administration to convince Libya that it was in its best interests to cooperate with the international community.
Dumb luck.
Halliburton bought the country, duh.

How does Kerry's military service relate to the upcoming election?
We thank him profusely for serving the country along with hundreds of thousands of other young Americans. However, his policies in regards to the military since he came back from Vietnam and began protesting are much more important.
We will never question his service, merely his throwing away of his medals (Oops, a lie, he threw away someone else's. Mighty nice of him).
He did serve, so he will pick up a few more military votes than Democrats usually do.
Bush was A.W.O.L. If we say it enough times will it make it true?

When Osama is finally caught, what should we do?
Get a rope, find a tree.
Turn him over to the new government of Afghanistan for trial.
Turn him over to the government of Saudi Arabia for trial.
Apologize to him for being such a bad country that we drove him to do all that he is done, and then give him to the Hague for trial.

Do you think America would be better as a Socialist country?
Never.
No.
Maybe.
I did not have sexual relations with that woman.

I'm calling Jesse Jackson; those chads were racist!
Don't interrupt me when I'm doing my crossword puzzle, I'm trying to think of a six-letter word for "Not Smart".

How does the economy work best?
Just read Wealth of Nations, Smith has it right.
Just read The General Theory, Keynes has it right.
Just read The Communist Manifesto, Marx had it right.
I have absolutely no idea, but I will scream and yell about how it is being destroyed by "big business" and "rich white men".

When you hear "MoveOn.org" you think...?
Isn't it about time they Moved On?
Website that compared President Bush (Liberated Iraq) to Hitler (Killed millions of innocents).
"Oh those guys are so swell!"
The word of God, passed down through the internet.

Probably shouldn't go here, but... Abortion?
I think that murder is wrong, and I think that abortion is murder.
I'm not sure, but I will err on the side of caution and not condone an act that could be murder.
"It's" not alive, so I'm doing nothing wrong.
Don't mess with my "reproductive rights" you Nazi!

This November you will vote for...
George W. Bush
An independent who shares my beliefs.
Aljazeera tells me to vote for John Kerry (Who depending on the day has a belief to suit anybody)
"Anybody But Bush", but really I mean "Kerry" when I say that, because I don't want anyone voting for Nader and really screwing us over again.
