Abortion -- not a Federal issue.
Gay marriage -- marriage is the domain of churches and religion. There is no basis for it otherwise.
Flag burning -- I don't really give a damn. It's protected by property rights (I own this flag, no?) and the First Amendment.
Guns -- Feds have no power to restrict weapons in any capacity. If a Fed can get a gun, then I should be able to get the same, or better.
Prayer in schools -- Shouldn't have government schools to worry about. But as it stands, you say we live in a democracy, and a majority of US citizens are religious. Since the majority rules in a democracy, government-sanctioned prayer in schools should be no problem with you.
As it stands, my issues can be summed up under one word: Liberty. If any candidate wants to restrict my liberty on a Federal level, then he/she/it will not get my vote.
