*I do not support universal healthcare
*Pro choice, unless the fetus is in late stage of pregnancy
*I am for the war on terrorism, but see no point of being in Iraq right now. Take out troops for now, and should Iran start becoming trouble - that's the next target. Air strikes.
* I am against giving tax cuts to rich people. They don't deserve any special treatment.
*Very strong supporter of Israel, will give them money and weapons to defend themselves
*I would strive to bring us toward energy independence, so we wouldn't have to buy oil from people who use that money to kill us.
*Secure borders and NOT give amnesty to illegal immigrants
*I will reduce taxes
*I am pro-gun ownership, but I would make the permits a lot harder to get.
*I would change the education system. I would focus on making public schools more competitive.

*Instead of spending 10 billion dollars a month for the war in Iraq, I would withdraw troops and spend SOME fo that money to tackle down the criminals in our own country. Drug smugglers, theifs, killers. That is, I would strengthen our police forces.
*Withdraw troops from Iraq. If enemies such as Iran pose a threat, I am AGAINST a land invasion. I would simply conduct air strikes to weaken them. As long as they don't pose a threat, it's not our problem. They don't want our help anyways, Iraq proves it.

Not bad, but if you give me a little more on health care, I'd vote for you. If not universal health care, how about regulating the health care industries and providing preventative health care to all citizens (check ups, shots, antibiotics)? An ounce of prevention is worth well more than a pound of cure and would ultimately save the health care industry money by stopping serious illness before they become serious.

Most of it sounds good and uses common sense. However I don't think either one of us is smart enough to tell the Generals how to conduct the war on terror or when to leave.
More countries are now seeking out the terror cells than ever before and I think this is what will have to happen to have anything good come out of this.

Your position on Iraq is illogical and uninformed. It indicates a willingness to suspend the laws of casualty that makes you unacceptable as any type of elected official.

Nope.
You lose me at pro-choice, taxes (I don't think we should have income taxes, period) and giving money to other countries (we should stop doing this altogether).

You had me until the pro gun statement.
You would have to be competent and a good communicator.
