I can almost copy DLN's. :)
Abortion: fully liberal
Immigration: liberal, I guess -- legal immigration should be encouraged and allowed fully, but illegal immigration shouldn't be condoned or encouraged.
Gay Marriage: fully liberal
Death Penalty: fully liberal
Religion: Seperation of Church and State. And moreso than it is now in this country.
Affirmative Action: in favor
Welfare: fully liberal. We should be doing more for the poor and elderly. In particular...
Health Care: Major topic right now, you know... I definitely am in favor of a more nationalized system. We need to cover the 40 million uninsured. And we have to work, and fast, to lower the skyrocketing costs of insurance. This should also include more perscription drug coverage... allowing buying them from Canada should be a start, but we shouldn't have to go THERE to get decent prices on prescription drugs!
Taxes: If they are needed to pay for important things, then they are needed... we need to be able to afford a decent level of state and national services and taxes are the only way to do it. But if you must cut taxes something like Kerry's plan, where the top 1 or 2 % get higher taxes and the rest a tax cut, is the way to go. It goes without saying that those laws that restrict property taxes to 1% are a phenominally bad idea.
Education: hmm, what is liberal or conservative here... right now the two parties seem to have exactly the same agenda on this, at least in Washington... I'm cautious about more state or national control. If done well it could work, but that kind of thing seems so likely to go badly in this country...
Foreign Policy: liberal. But not a pacifist, really... we shouldn't be fighting unless we REALLY have to, but we should be doing more police actions and UN work. That is good works and something I fully support. So we definitely need a military... it should just be much better trained for peacekeeping.
Stem Cell Research: fully Liberal.
