Me on the Political Spectrum
I tend to be more conservative on most issues. On some issues I am liberal, but most often I am conservative.
I am conservative on the issue of gay marriage. I believe that all forms of gay marriage are wrong and should be illegal.
On the issue of whether or not criminals that have committed murder should be put to death or not I am conservative. I believe that they should be put to death for their actions.
On the issue of whether or not we should have a universal health care plan or not, I am liberal. I believe that we should have universal health care available for those who need it.
