on the attached picture I want to cut the side, front and rear polygons with edge loop? it keeps angling up and wanting to connect to the upper front polygon instead of lower front as indicted by blue line. I know I can use poly split but I have to manually cut the front and rear polys where as edge loop does it.

Clip is the equivalent of planar cut, but can also be used to clip bottom or top (or right or left) part of model. Here are the differences between this and a loop cut: (see below)
Better than either would be to do a polyextrude on the bottom faces and an edit to slide the front edge back a bit (you could do this with a polyextrude with transform front option or a polyextrude and edit node). This will avoid the triangle caused by a clip.
