You asked 4 questions about what issues various groups might take a stand on. The correct answer in all cases is: Every issue. Your question should be what position would they take on the issues.

Liberals are typically pro-choice on abortion, in favor of laws that help the environment, in favor of raising the minimum wage, in favor of healthcare reform, not in favor of tax breaks that favor the wealthy and generally not in favor of war unless absolutely necessary. This list doesn't even begin to cover the multitude of issues that liberals might take a stand on and it certainly doesn't represent the viewpoint of every liberal, but it's a good general answer.

I couldn't speak for all "liberals", but I'll take a stand on big tax hikes for the rich, help for the poor, downsizing the military and impeachment of Bush (and friends) to name a few.

Homelessness, Low income housing, The war on drugs, Social Security being there in 10 years, Mental health, health care for all Americans, Shall I go on...... All the things that effect middle to low income families, where Republicans focus on the higher income families, you know the ones that can afford housing, insurance, have pensions, and have access to mental health.

Stand on an issue?That's kind of asking a lot ain't it? They are much better suited to whining about things than offering solutions, don't you think?
