State Your Positions

[Keystone Phil]

Abortion - against abortion except for the rare cases of rape and if the life of the mother is at risk. Strongly against taxpayer funded abortion and partial birth abortion.

Iraq - supported going into Iraq and still continue to support the war. Iraq was a threat to America, our interests, and our allies. We had to act and I'm glad we did.

Tax cut - strongly against the idea that the rich should pay more taxes. Just because you are wealthy doesn't mean you should be unfairly taxed. Favor Bush tax cuts.

Gun control - I support Second Amendment rights.

Eduaction - I support school vouchers and more local control of schools.

Same sex marriage - I am against same sex marriage. I believe marriage is between a man and a woman.

Death penalty - I support the death penalty

Affirmative action - I am against affirmative action quotas.

Social Security - Let recepients privatize their portion if they choose to.

Others...

Health care - I am opposed to a government run universal healthcare system.

Environment - I support drilling in ANWR.

For the life of me I can't figure out why some people would want to end private schools.

Because so many private schools suck.

I attend a Catholic school and I receive an excellent education. My school sure doesn't suck, Bandit. I'm so happy that liberals like you and BRTD will never be able to tell the parents of this country where they have to send their kids to school.

My school sure doesn't suck, Bandit.

Mine did. In the immortal words of one of my former schoolmates, our school sucked the suckingest sucking that ever sucked.

You can have your opinion but just because you didn't like you school doesn't mean we should be banning private schools, Bandit.

Well, by that logic we should end public schools, because so many of them suck.

Good point, John!

Private schools suck and the kid hate 'em

I don't and many others don't. Plenty of private school kids would stay where they are instead of going to a public school. AND many public school students would love to switch schools.

[Keystone Phil]

Private schools suck and the kid hate 'em, but no way in hell they should be ILLEGAL.

One that I went to should be illegal.

You can't be serious. Why should they be illegal, Bandit. Because you had to wear a uniform...oh no!

Abortion: I am personally against it, but I believe in a women's right to choose.

Iraq: Was worth it to me, it's what should have been done back in the 1st Gulf war. Sends a message to the world that we are not putting up with this anymore.

Tax Cuts: I support them for everyone including the rich, they should not have to pay a higher rate just because they make more. We need more tax cuts and a ederal government that can stop spending our money on foolish things.

Gun Control: Should be up to states, not federal, and the states should have very little power on what restrictions they can play on guns. The 2nd amendment is there for a reason, you can't just ignore it. Remember, a government that takes weapons away from its people is a government thatt has nothing to fear.

Education: Leave it to the state and local government.

Religion: I'm for seperation of church and state, but some things people complain about today are just a little ridiculous, like the "In God We Trust" on money.

Same Sex Marriage: Against it, it is for a man and woman.

Death penalty: I support it, and believe that the states that have removed it need to bring it back.

Affirmative action: Against it, it is nothing more then reverse discrimination

Homeland Security: Tighten immigration laws, and get the different departments to comunicate more, but repeal the Patriot act.

Immigration: We have borders for a reason, it's 1 thing for someone to come here legally, take the test and become a full citizen, it's another to be hopping the border.

1 last note: I think English needs to be made an offical language by all the states and the federal government, alot of books and websites now, when defining our country now list Spanish as a major language along with English.
