I'm so far gone it's ridiculous. I think I need to start my own party.
Pro:
-choice(but not for myself or late term)
-social programs (to an extent - but not lifers on things like welfare etc...)
-taking care of our vets
-having a standing army, but of highly trained individuals - a la special forces, etc...
-improving public education (intelligently)
-flat tax
-personal responsibility (I know, libertarian here)
- gun control, to an extent (my husband would want to shoot me here
)
- sustainable energy
-civil unions/ gay marriage
-capital punishment
-harsher living conditions in prison (for the real baddies, I mean really, do they need cable tv and to be able to work out daily?)
-marijuana legalization (for small amounts only, not pounds of the maui wowee)
-harsher punishment for sex crimes and crimes against children
-caring more about people in the US (i.e. Katrina, poverty, homelessness, inequity in education) and helping us truly become a "super" power
-stem cell research
-health care for all citizens
-mandatory foreign language education starting in elementary school
-English being the national language
