Social Issues
General philosophy: Liberal
Separation of church and state: Support
Freedom of speech: Support. Flag burning should be legal. Fred Phelps' sh**t should not be.
Right to an abortion: First trimester legal. Second, leave to the states. Third trimester illegal.
Affirmative action: Oppose, but I don't have an objective eye since I've been personally harmed by it. Slave reparations are a better solution, I think.
Gun rights: I support gun rights for hunting, sport shooting, etc. I also support common sense things like trigger locks, background checks, waiting periods, bans on cop-killer bullets, and restriction of firearms that have no purpose but to kill someone with.
Civil unions or gay marriage: Gay marriage. An acceptable compromise would be repeal DOMA, but let each state decide whether to have gay marriage performed in itself--a backhanded way of gay marriage everywhere, I guess.
Euthanasia: Unsure
Prostitution: Should be illegal, but let each local area decide for itself
Capital punishment: Strongly Oppose
Economic Issues
General philosophy: Liberal
Employers and Employees: Employers can hire whoever they want.
Taxation: Reduce for middle and low class, raise for the rich.
Spending: Increase spending in education and social programs
Free trade: Not sure. Not at expert, or even a novice on the issue.
Funding of the space program: Dramatically increase. Perhaps the most important thing we do.
Foreign policy
General philosophy: Dove
Iraq: Withdraw
