Answer 2

First all the legislature would have a dominate influence of liberitarians, I think it would be good to shake things up for a while.
1.The Mexicans need to have a country that we would want to live in and a higher standard of living with less cost.
2. Abortion of all types is legal, a woman has half the right to choose. Stem cells are legal, too. You did not mention this but it makes sense.

Spell check is taking a long time sorry.
3.Gays should have the right to be as misserable as the rest of us. They must have health insurance.

15. For sure policy should side with secularism we have seen how reliable religious guidance has been.

Answer 3

1) Imprison the people who hire them and seize their assets. If it works with pot dealers it should work with corporate criminals who subvert the law.
2)Abortion; I seem to be against any side that is opening their mouths about it. Let the states decide.
3) I could care less
4) The Second Amendment has spoken; why Europeans, Canadians and Californians have settled for slavery is beyond me. The right to own a firearm is a natural right. It is not a benefit handed to you like a good student who has spelled his words correctly; it is a right give to you be God or just by the fact that you were born free if you are not religious.
5) You must make allocations for those who can never work, but otherwise a WPA type program would be best. I just visited a National Park, the WPA picnic tables still stand and they are marked with commemorative plaques.

Nukes would allow us to transfer our funds away from "big oil" and would also let us produce boundless amounts of electricity. Nukes are the answer!!!!!!!
10) They should remain appointed.
11) Keep the state run schools open, but leave the choice and competion open o all. Let the parents decide!

Answer 5

1. Arizona has the right idea on immigration.

Answer 6

1) I do think we need a fence and we need to keep the level of inspections done at border crossings at what they are now. Most people do not realize how much less convenient it is to cross our southern border since 9/!!.

2) I really like Rudy's idea of running a national public service campaign to de-stigmatize adoptions. If we could save just some of those babies, I would feel that a lot has been accomplished. Keep late term abortions illegal.

3) I feel that gays should be able to enter into legal contracts that entitle them to the same benefits that heterosexual married couples have, but stop short of calling it a marriage.

4) I support tighter controls on gun sales - heightened background checks and waiting periods long enough to accommodate them. Legitimate gun owners can wait.

5) Welfare is a needed crutch for many in times of hardship and isn't as easy to get and maintain as many imagine. Keep it, but keep it tough.

7) Flat tax

8) Decrease the federal government.

9) Allow nuclear production.

10) Appointed as always.

11) Parents should retain a choice of schools for their children. Stop political indoctrination in our schools - no more showings of Gore's lies. I would like to see parents who choose to home school be subsidized in some way. We need more parents in the home.

12) Rehabilitation has to be a part of any successful penal system.

13) Continue support of Israel, Iraq. Keep a heavy eye on Pakistan and Putin. Let Iran know we are not kidding around.

14) No Kyoto. We need the cohesive front that the UN and NATO provide, if only in theory.

15) Embrace our traditional Christian heritage, as intended by the founding fathers. There are reasons that we have Thanksgiving, Christmas and Easter.

16) Increase our armed services.

Answer 8

I will keep mine short and to my own opinions,.Back to
when, we loved our selves and one another had respect for one another and if a man was not a man of morals ,He wound never been nominated to run for President. When our Children could go to school with out putting their life on the line
Respected our God , and Country, before being Political correct, when people like Jane Fonda would have been shot for treason. Back to when People
were proud to be Americans. And By the Way this is the best question I have seen on yet.. Good job.
