Default Re: Help me debate my Mom and sister - RP related

Did your mom ever vote for Ronald Reagan? RP is much more similar to Reagan than any other candidate. He is the only one with actual specific plans to shrink the size of the federal govt.

The DHS has nothing to do with protecting us from terrorists. What was so bad about our military and intelligence services that they couldn't protect us before? The purpose of DHS is to increase executive power, and create more buerocracy.

RP is the only candidate that wants to withdraw from the UN. The UN is a socialist organization that seeks power over every country in order to eventually create a world govt. RP strongly opposes anything that would override US sovereignty. That includes the WTO, NAFTA and the North American Union.

I think this is the argument I would use to convince them of RPs foreign policy: Our military is diluted all around the world. Meanwhile, the borders are wide open for terrorists to wander in. Every time we decide to be the police force of another country, we decrease our ability to police our own country.

RP has always voted against amnesty and any kind of welfare or subsidies for illegal immigrants. He wants to repeal the automatic birthright citizenship.

RP has never voted to spend any money out of the social security budget. He wants people to be able to opt out of ss and not have to pay ss taxes.

RP has been a strong opponent of the Real ID act, which attempted to create a national ID card.

RP wants to protect private property rghts. He opposes any kind of eminent domain.

RP opposes affirmative action, he voted to end aa for college admissions in 1997.
