Would you vote for a candidate that was pro-life and anti-capital punishment?

Question

These two issues would grab a lot of votes from people who find these issues as most important. This would only be the beginning of a more responsible government. Other issues of course need to be focused on as well.

1. Disaster Preparedness ($30 Billion Levee or $100 Bill in Aid after the disaster)
2.Homeland Security - stay 10 steps ahead of terrorists.
3. Alternative Fuels
4. Stem Cell Research (more funding)
5. Combat Poverty (this would also help abortion rates)
6. Improve Primary Education
7. Gun Control
8. Environmental Protection (we know we can do better)
9. Fix immigration problems. (can't give amnesty but can't deport all)

I just want to gauge where people stand.

Capital Punishment is mostly lethal injection which basically putting them to sleep how much of a punishment is that.

The economy in the next 10 to 20 years will rely on higher education. Help create more grants and scholarships for deserving lower income families. Pell Grants is not enough.

All I mean by control is to make violent offenders (sex offenders, rapists, armed robbers) aren't allowed to purchase firearms. Deeper background checks. Keep a gun in your home for protection, in your business and in your car(look box for the car). Just keep them away from the kids.

Answer 1

I want a pro-life and a pro-capital punishment (though with higher standards of proof) candidate. I want a high on national security candidate. I want a make-it-easier-to-start-a-business candidate. I want a candidate who will use the bully pulpit to encourage more adoptions and encourage the creation of entities who will pair pregnant women who don't want the baby with families who want to adopt. I want a candidate who will be to Bush what Reagan was to Carter (scare the enemies sh!tless). I want a candidate who will prevent tax hikes and will reverse government overspending.

Some of the issues you've listed above I'll address:

1: Disaster preparedness is good... National Guard for the people to do the work and making sure there's money set aside for disaster relief in the budget. Couple that with encouraging people to leave areas that could be disasters, such as the East Coast hurricane spots and the wildfire areas in the West.

3: This is a private sector thing. Once something new comes along that will replace our need for gasoline and be cost-effective then the Market will jump on it.

4: Another private sector thing.

5: You combat poverty by offering more job opportunities, by creating more businesses, by making it easier for entrepeneurs to create new businesses, by removing boundaries to employment those new businesses run into.

6: Schools are trying to cram too much into our kids as it is now and that's the problem. They need to either pare down the curriculuum or they need to start offering more electives at an earlier age. I have school-age children and the schools are trying to throw too much at them too soon, in my opinion.

7: Gun control is fine as long as you're taking them only from those who have lost their rights to them. Take them from everybody, though, and we have a problem.

8: Environmental Protection is fine until it causes businesses to close, or raise their production costs to the point where people have to be fired (see your point #5). Reasonable environmental protection is required.

Answer 2

I would certainly listen to the candidate, although I stand on the opposite ends of both issues. The only true problem we have with capital punishment is that it isn't carried out enough. Within the other list you provide, I would only hope that by item 7 you mean limit gun-control and protect the 2nd amendment, and with item 1, you move that way down the list. People who live behind a levee should know what to expect.....

Answer 3

Lots of people are pro-life and against capital punishment. I would vote for the right candidate with these views, but want to leave the courts the option for capital punishment for terrorists and serial killers since these people, if left alive in captivity, are a threat to their guards and other inmates. Rapists and cop-killers are a little different. Rapists of females, if held in an all-male facility, aren't likely to commit a crime against male inmates, and a ONE-TIME cop-killer MIGHT be safe enough in prison.

I WILL vote against any ANYONE who wants to make any move against my constitutional right to own and bear firearms.

"Eric C", I like your answers.

Answer 4

hi, The Vatican and Catholic church say you have a ethical criminal duty to vote. they say you may learn you ethical experience and vote in accordance to the ethical code the church teaches. the only situation here is that finally if Giuliani who's professional-determination and for gay marriage is working against Hillary Clinton who has the comparable ideals then what are you meant to do? ,Many Catholics will might desire to determine that are the lesser of two evils which you may communicate. The Church is reluctant nevertheless to communicate out to Catholics and say it particularly is a cardinal sin to vote Hillary or Giuliani or a definite occasion. If that occurs many might on no account vote for any Catholics who ran for workplace, the church might desire to lose its tax status and we would be back into the comparable challenge using fact the 18 and nineteenth centuries the place RC's does not be relied on or elected in any respect.

Answer 5

On those two issues, abortion should remain legal and capital punishment is appropriate for truly horrific crimes.

More important than any other issue, however, is getting the religious fundamentalists out of government.

Answer 6

I would vote for a pro-lifer and anti-capital punishment candidate depending upon his/her stance on the other issues. As far as stem cell, I'm not in accord with that one.

Answer 7

If you watch only one conspiracy documentary ever, make it this one. This just might be the best introductory video out there. Understand that every claim made in this is fact, not opinion, no matter how wild it sounds. It's all easily verifiable through mainstream news archives and public documents.

Anybody but the following:

Algae the Green Guy

Answer 9

OH.. you are very mean...(forcing me to make a decision).. I am pro-life but very much against any anti-capital punishmente measures.. As a result of this, I do not know what I would do... I would have to think and see what they say about other issues in order to sway me for or against them.

Answer 10

i would vote for them but i guess they found a new way to get stem cells without using unborn babies, it was on the news this morning, and i think that would be a better way to solve it. otherwise i would vote for them because all of those would be very good qualities of a candidate
