I swear, CT sucks and, seriously, it's because this frickin' state is run by liberal Democrats.
I voted for the Constitution Party in 2008. I liked the name, but for all I knew at the time, they could have been left of the Socialists if that's actually possble on the political spectrum. Yeah I think Matt said that on the worldwide spectrum, socialists are center right.
Calm down, I know I said "seriously" but it's more of an emotional rant than anything else. Sheesh.

Well, socialism isn't a political ideology, so there is that.

Just to clarify I would never vote for Jill Stein I think she's qualified to fight the machine and be a protest candidate more than anything else. That basically sums up the Green party in general imo.

Figured that out about 1/3 of the way through, but didn't go back and change any previous answers.

Yeah. I answered a LOT of questions, but I got tired of clicking "click for more social questions" or whatever.

He's talking about the options if you click "other". You could be more specific. For example for death penalty I chose "Yes, but only for minorities."

Oh, well, yeah, I did that too. Although not all of the "other" options were more appealing than a straight, "yes or no".

There was one question in this survey as well as the issues Thread Matt started that I cannot understand the logic behind anybody saying No:
Should a picture ID be required to vote?

Voter fraud occurs at the registration level, not at the voting booth. Photo ID requirement does nothing to deal with voter fraud. All it does is throw up another hurdle for the poor to vote.

So you don't think a Photo ID should be required to vote?

My position is clear to everyone but you.
Let's not hijack this thread.
