[TitanTiger 20,511]

Strongly Favors

Abortion is a woman's right

Disagree.

Favors

Require hiring more women & minorities

Disagree with mandating or quotas.

Strongly Favors

Same-sex domestic partnership benefits

Disagree with forcing this via the government. Private companies should be able to give benefits to whomever they wish.

Opposes

Teacher-led prayer in public schools

Agree. Not interested in teacher-led prayer, just want more freedom for students and teachers to express their faith in schools without government freaking out over it.

Opposes

Death Penalty

Semi-agreement. I believe some crimes warrant death but have big time reservations about the manner in which it's implemented. Would rather let 1000 criminals rot in jail without the DP than execute even one person who wasn't guilty of the crime.

Opposes

Mandatory Three Strikes sentencing laws

See answer on Obama thread.

Strongly Opposes

Absolute right to gun ownership

See answer on Obama thread.

Favors

More federal funding for health coverage

See answer on Obama thread.

Strongly Opposes

Privatize Social Security

See answer on Obama thread.

Strongly Opposes

Parents choose schools via vouchers

See answer on Obama thread.

Strongly Favors

Replace coal & oil with alternatives

See answer on Obama thread.

Strongly Opposes

Drug use is immoral: enforce laws against it

In general, I think we need to keep most drug laws in place, particularly the most addictive and harmful drugs.

Favors

Allow churches to provide welfare services

The sticky part is whether churches can do what they do the way they normally do it, or if the gov't will demand to muzzle them.

Strongly Favors

Repeal tax cuts on wealthy

See answer on Obama thread.

Favors

Illegal immigrants earn citizenship

See answer on Obama thread.

Opposes

Support & expand free trade

Depends. I do believe we should get these other countries to elevate their standards and protections to make the competition more equal.

Strongly Opposes

Expand the armed forces

I wouldn't expand them, but wouldn't shrink them during a time like this either.

Strongly Favors

Stricter limits on political campaign funds

I lament the ridiculous influence big money contributors have on the process, but don't want to stifle free speech either.

Strongly Favors

The Patriot Act harms civil liberties

Agree. It's gone way too far under the current administration. In the hands of the wrong people, the Patriot Act is dangerous as currently written.

Strongly Favors

US out of Iraq

I want us out, but am somewhat in the mode that we broke it so we're responsible for fixing it.

Clinton's ideas on the top... Mine below.

Since Edwards has dropped out and my Democratic ballot is already in the mail, I'm likely going to vote for her. I don't necessarily want to, but Obama's a tort reformer and that won't fly with me.
