Stem cell - For it, but don't believe it is the panacea that the pro abortion crowd makes it out to be.Gun control - For it, in that I believe gun control laws exist. Against expansion of gun control laws in most cases, since they're generally just political preening. Howzabout we just dedicate some resources towards enforcing the laws on the books today and see what happens? Abortion choice - For, but very weakly. Federal healthcare - Against. Port sale - No opinion, other than general disgust for those who take a position based on a stated or unstated opinion that no Muslim can be trusted. Social Security "reform" - For. I don't see how anyone but an ostrich could be against some type of reform (doesn't mean you have to agree with the administrations proposal, but the numbers don't lie...) Morning after - Weakly against -- kinda sorta takes personal responsibility to an all-time low. Gay marriage - For, as long as it comes with the same limitations (i.e. communal property, divorce) as "traditional marriage". Strongly against "civil unions", where only the benefits but none of the "negatives" are part of the deal. Public smoking ban - For, weakly and selfishly. I recognize that being for this ban is inconsistent with the rest of my politics Patriot Act - For, generally. Concerned about over-zealous interpretation. Creationism in schools - Sure, you can teach that in school. Sunday school. |
