I hope realise you i am not actually american, i just tend to follow it's politics. And if I was I would only pick Obama, just to keep Romney out! Republicans have had some decent presidents, but not out of these lot now.
I think for now, I will try to ignore political ideology and see if anyone at all, can find a solutions to fix this bad economy, as "both" sides have not really got one, at least not yet. Thanks, for the debate and thanks for enlighting me.
Finally, maybe some socialist policies just don't work like very high taxes (france), to be honest I don't mind charging high rates that I wouldn't want to pay!
Just like how some conservative policies like America's war on drugs clearly are not stopping drug trade or gangs

That's not a conservative policy... Obama has stepped up the WoD further than any recent president in recent history via raids of legal marijuana dispensaries.

It was originally started by Richard Nixon wasn't it? Who was conservative (republican) And as Obama is tougher than Bush on drugs (a mistake), wouldn't that make Obama more conservative on the war on drugs (as a single issue) than Bush?

Genetic fallacy. Its origin bear no relevance whatsoever for the issue at hand. Anyways that's how you are going to define what is a conservative policy and what's not? Is there some kind of invisible aether around the concept who makes it inherently conservative because Nixon started it?
|
well a liberal would just legalise it wouldn't they? Also, Nixon was quite conservative. I can't really add to that, but conservatives generally like to crimenalise drugs and anything they can (even though, president abe lincoln and presidents before him used to grow marijuana themselves.) To me, the war on drugs is just a failed policy, that I doubt liberals would start

Some liberals might, but this is an issue with a lot of crossover. Currently, I would say the parties are both pretty divided over this issue. Bill Clinton, Democrat, is the one that kicked the war on drugs into high gear.
This is kind of a poor example of a conservative position though, as typically, conservatives are more for removing government regulation. This is an example of government regulation and would normally be an issue pushed by liberals. However, like I said, war on drugs is an odd issue that has both parties divided over it.
Also, bolded is not true. Another exagerated stereotype you are pulling out of nowhere...
