7) I am against the Patriot Act.
8) Unemployment is the highest in a while. We need to improve the job market!
The only thing that may be un-Democratic about me is that I am pro-death penalty.

Interestingly enough, many of these reasons comprise exactly why I can't vote for Kerry - now, I might not vote for Bush either (chalk up another wasted Libertarian vote! j/k Russ), but:
1.) Democratic economic policies give me shivers right now - so bad.
2.) Disagree w/ the entire premise - the entire thing is a false dilemma, it's not either/or
3.) Agree, but it's a state issue in many cases.
4.) Agree, to a point
5.) Life for millions of people is better w/out Hussein. Now, we're knee-deep, the worst thing to do is pulling out.
6.) I am also 100% pro-choice, luckily I don't know that there is a conservative enough Supreme Court possible to repeal Roe v. Wade.
7.) Implementation will be key; the concept is slightly askew, but the capability exists for some serious damage - I worry less about the President's role in this, though.
8.) Jobs and the economy have little to do with the sitting Prez, that whole "cyclical system" thing - however, I think the conservative, Republican concept is still the smarter long-term strategy.
