President Bush's federal tax cuts should not be made permanent.

The presidential primary system should be replaced.

The Israeli/Palestinian peace process would not be more effective without the intervention of foreign nations.

Racism has played a role in opposition to Barack Obama. mmmm, yeah a little bit. not for everyone but it's definitely a little bit of a factor.

Columbus Day should be celebrated as an official holiday.

Rod Blagojevich was at the center of the worst political scandal of 2008.

Governor Blagojevich should have been arrested on conspiracy and bribery charges. He basically implicated himself right?

I would rate President Obama's first address to Congress as "satisfactory".

Democrats will win the most seats in the 2010 Congressional elections.

The U.S. should implement a guest-worker program.

The U.S. should not send more National Guard troops to the Mexican border.

Memos about CIA torture techniques should not have been released by the Obama Administration.

The ban on taking pictures of flag-draped coffins returning from war should be overturned.

Bill Clinton was an average president.

President Obama will not reach his goal of cutting the federal deficit in half by 2013. It would be nice but based on how people react to something like his health plan I would think that he has a longer road than that.

Republicans are more responsible for the federal deficit than Democrats.

Rush Limbaugh is not the most powerful person in the Republican Party.

Elected officials should be allowed to change their political affiliation between elections.

Sarah Palin should not pursue political office again. I'll be shocked if she considers it. She couldn't even finish her term. How is that leadership? How is that not being a quitter? This doesn't even include the fact that she's nearly incoherent when she speaks in public. If you think she makes sense you are clearly a crazy person.

Rush Limbaugh has had a negative impact on the Republican Party. Negative. I've heard reports of him possibly being the new leader of the party. If Republicans want to have a better chance in elections they should probably pick someone a little less extreme, someone that can relate to a broader base of people rather than a complete psychopath.

The government should not increase the cigarette tax. As much as I would like to say yes, people who I know that are smokers are getting hammered with the high tax already as it is

The U.S. government was not an accessory to the September 11, 2001 attacks.

President Obama's outlook on the economy has been neither too optimistic nor pessimistic.

President Obama should have authorized the use of force against the Somali pirates.

The U.S. should not hire private contractors to combat piracy.

Infidelity should not be grounds for a politician's removal from office.

President Obama's video message to Iran will have no effect on U.S.-Iranian relations. They don't give a sh!t what we think

Pirates should not be officially labeled as terrorists. They just want booty.

People overreacted to Obama's joke about the Special Olympics.

President Obama's national security policies are decreasing the threat of terrorist attacks in the U.S.

A world free of nuclear weapons is not achievable. unfortunately i dont think this is possible... well it is possible i guess when something that can cause more damage is created.

Assault weapons should be illegal. Military can use it of course. But there is no reason for a regular citizen to have one (either for self protection or hunting)

The international community should not recognize the Iranian election results.

Protests over the Iranian election will lead to a revolution. Slowly but surely

The government should not regulate population growth. I live in NYC and I'm not feeling crowded... unless I go to the pure hell that is Times Square

President Obama will be a two-term president. I don't think the republican party will have it all figured out by then.

Citizens should not be required by law to vote. come on!

President Obama should push towards a bipartisan approach to governing.

Newt Gingrich should not run for President in 2012. Ha!

President Obama's first overseas trip was a success.
