Charter schools, anti-cap and trade, pro-life, anti-gun control, anti-gay marriage. Social issues, basically, though not entirely.

3, 4, 5, 7, 8.

I'd prefer a candidate who took these positions:

- Supports a cut in corporate taxes. (Or even eliminating them completely.)
- Supports revenue-neutral tax reform.
- Supports promoting charter schools and school voucher programs.
- Opposes "cap and trade"
- Supports additional free trade agreements.
- Opposes gun control.

And I could tolerate the following:

- Willing to consider cuts or changes to Social Security or Medicare to reduce the deficit.
- Supports ANWR and offshore oil drilling.
- Pro-life (as long as they're passive about it)
- Opposes a "public option" in health insurance.
- Opposes gay marriage.

These positions are intolerable:

- Supports retaining the Bush tax cuts in full.
- Supports a balanced budget amendment.
- Supports SOPA.         
- Supports the PATRIOT Act, NDAA, and warrantless wiretapping.         
- Supports indefinite military presence in Afghanistan.
- Supports military intervention against Iran.
- Opposes cuts in the military budget.
- Supports federal raids on medical marijuana dispensaries.         
- Opposes amnesty for illegal aliens.

Frozen out of focus, the sunday crowd started dreaming of television turned up too loud. And coded conversations, half baked and tired, Left us sleepy on blacktops burning the motor mile. And underneath the arcade, details collide. There's good shopping, but all those patrons have too much style...
