-He opposes organized prayer in public schools.
-He favors rolling back tax cuts for people making over $100,000.
-He favors raising the minimum wage.
-He opposes drilling for oil in the Arctic Wildlife Refuge and favors tougher fuel economy standards.
I'm sure there are many here who would not like Kerry for the same reasons I like him. For me, the most important issues are ones like abortion, the separation of church and state and the environment.

You've listed the very reasons why I will NOT vote for Kerry, give or take a few.
I admit that I'm very iffy about organized prayer in schools; I'm more for the moment of silence during which each may pray (or not pray) to their God/Creator/Cosmic Muffin.
As for guns, we need to enforce the laws we have, rather than make new ones that mean nothing to criminals.
If we don't expand our own oil resources, we will only grow more dependent on other countries.
And I heard properly, Kerry received an "F" from the Pope - the head of the religion he purports to be a member of.
