I voted for Kristen Davis. I can't get behind Cuomo as I can't with a clear conscience vote for keeping things the way they are currently. The entire upstate area is just a dumping ground for people on Public Assistance for the entire United States of America. The trouble is I can't get behind Crazy Carl even though his message does have valid points. The Greens are a bit too far out there for me and to be honest their points are just a bit to impractical for immediate results.
So i voted for Kristen Davis, Elliot Client #9 Spitzer's Madam. To be it makes perfect sense as someone who always defaults to the "cop out" answer of being a social liberal and fiscal conservative.
I can get behind legalizing Pot and taxing it, in actuality it does LESS damage to society than alcohol.
Legalize Gay Marriage. For me I don't take the whole Love angle, but I just look at it as a contractual partnership. What if two Men or Women that were sexually dysfunctional wanted to get together to show their eternal platonic love even though they were impotent or frigid and pass their assets to the other's family ect like any family member? Let them do it and file Married Filing Joint on their tax returns if it gives them a tax advantage so they can play the system like everyone else.
As for Prostitution I don't see why it isn't legal. Canada now has made it pretty much 100% legal
YES, Human Trafficking is a horrible thing and one cannot downplay that fact. But if we made it legal where everyone had to have a SSN Card register and get a business license. If someone wants to sell their services to another person why does it matter that it is sex? A general contractor is selling their back to you when you hire them to build you a house or renovate it. There are guys that can't get laid due to a lack of social skills or a physical disability, they shouldn't be discriminated against at all.
Plus she ran a business which does count for a few things and also worked for a Hedge Fund. So I can get behind someone that was in favor of the Bush Tax Cuts for Capital Gains.
So that's how I voted and the reasoning why I supported her platform.
I also Voted for her as well. I did follow the links and found them very interesting. I think legalising things like gay marriage, weed, and sex for money freak people out cause they think it will be me smoking a jay geting naked fucking two girls on a park bench or something like that. I think they also freak out cause they think the govrenment is endorsing it. They aren't endorsing anything. What they are doing is get envolved with regulating something that is illegal and making it safer for those that partake and also getting tax money from it. As an example say I'm a male slut (sounds fun) and when a someone (girl or maybe even a couple perhaps what ever) Buys me enough drinks and dinner and wines and dines me I got home or to a hotel and we have fun, that is legal... But instead I'm seen at a bar and Whom ever says "I need this, instead of playing games all night Here is the money I would spend on drinks and fun for you lets go to our place" Now that is illegal, What? But if I was registered I could go "Here is the rate, here is my card, call in 3 minutes and set it up" Or "Sorry I'm off tonight but I'm on Sat, lets set something Up". I also think that when people here legal they think no regulation, that is decrimanlisation and that I disagree with. I take it one step further a certain percentage of the tax can be used to help with people who can't stop smoking up and to have shelter or halfway houses to get girls on the street off of them who want to go legit or get away from the pimp. Besides if you can have someone who is safe and not Spitzer price most people would go for that over the crack whore who will blow you and your buddy for 10 bucks or for a rock or two will do the entrie party (from what I have heard)...... Great Point on gay Marriage, I think it needs to become same sex and be about legal contracts as well and not just love, but love is great to.....
