I share views from both major parties.
Officially I’m a Democrat, but I do not vote party-line.
I have a mind of my own.

WAR
-I’m against the Iraq War.
-30,000 troop surge in Afghanistan was the right thing to do.

WELFARE
-Recipients should be required to pass drug tests!
-Increase public assistance to those who are in legitimate need
-Don’t give the homeless money………..Give them homes.

I’M PRO-LIFE
-Pro-Patriot Act
-Pro-Gun control
-Pro-stem cell reserach
-Use death penalty less often.
-Restrict & Ban abortions (especially partial-birth abortions)
-Life begins at conception

CIVIL RIGHTS
-Let gays marry, "To each his own."
-Civil Unions demonstrate "separate but equal" which is unconstitutional.
-AGAINST Affirmative Action: Don’t make hiring decisions based on whether they are minorities.

TAX REFORM
-Tax Churches and raise the standards for a service to be considered "non-profit" tax-exempt.
-Replace irs with national sales tax
-Use alternative revenue sources to replace taxes; higher fines on criminals & traffic violations
-Gear tax cuts towards the middle class, I pretty much don’t give a crap what the rich have to pay in taxes

RESTRICT SMOKING
-Raise sales tax on cigarrettes and using that money to fight cancer
-Ban smoking in public places
-Allow hospitals to have a policy where they don’t hire smokers

ECONOMY
-Against social security: Let people manage their own money. SS should be voluntary to pay into.
-Maintain a mixed economy; part capitalist part socialist
-Enforce mandatory paid vacations like they do in Europe
-My position on Universal Healthcare: We need to come up with a better way to pay for it.
-Bush medicare bill was a mistake.
-I believe the bailout was necessary. And look on the bright side; that bailout wasn’t a gift; it was a loan. They owe us that money back.
But we’ve already bailed them out once…..If they ask for another, the answer is NO.
FREE TRADE
-Allow it, it may lose facotry jobs but it gives us lower prices. And the most important jobs are not the labor-factory ones.
