2008 Presidential Candidates: Undecided between voting Democrat or Republican, but I won't vote for Hillary Clinton.
Party: Independent, but have always and will always vote for either a Democratic or Republican candidate. I don't like the idea of being affiliated with a massive political organization.
Abortion: Popular sovereignty - let the state's vote on whether abortion should be kept legal or not. Ban partial birth abortions except in cases wherein the mother's life is at risk, or in cases of rape and incest.
Affirmative Action: While affirmative action is necessary to promote diversity, it does not need to be as prevalent as it is now.
Alternative Fuels: Reduce dependence on foreign oil and research alternate energy sources.
Capital Punishment: Keep the death penalty, but use it scarcely.
Censorship: No censorship except in cases of extreme profanity or nudity.
Cuba: Keep the embargo so long as there is Communism in Cuba.
Current Congress: Congress needs to work toward bipartisan solutions to be effective; A Democratic Congress will not be effective with a Republican President.
Education: Increase federal funding for public schools.
Electoral College: The electoral college ensures that people from every region of the country are represented in the Presidential election process.
Flag Burning: The 1st amendment gives all citizens the right to express themselves in whatever way they choose.
Foreign Policy: Diplomacy before military, but keep military options open.
Gay Rights: Popular sovereignty. Let states decided whether Gay marriage should be legal or not. Gay marriage should only be recognized in states that legalize it.
Global Warming: Take significant steps to protect our environment and stop pollution.
Gun Control: Yeah, guns were made legal in the constitution, but the constitution was written so that it could be changed. Ban all assault rifles, no guns for those convicted of crimes.
Healthcare: Universal health care whether public or private. ALL CITIZENS MUST HAVE HEALTH CARE.
Illegal Immigration: Illegal immigrants are taking American jobs. Secure the border ASAP and increase border patrols on both borders.
Marijuana Legalization: Not a chance.
Media Bias: So what? The FCC doesn't need to regulate the media. MSNBC is Liberal, CNN is slightly Liberal, and Fox News is Very Conservative. The media will always be biased so long as man can have an opinion.
School Prayer: No prayer in public schools.
Separation of Church and State: Complete and total separation. Politicians must not use religion to dictate their policies.
Social Security: Let workers invest their retirement savings privately.
Stem Cell Research: Complete government funding for stem cell research.
War in Iraq: Keep all troops in Iraq until as early as 2016 in order to ensure maximum stability. In today's world, middle eastern allies are invaluable. It is imperative that the Iraqi government not collapse.
Wiretapping: "Not without a warrant."
