Abortion: Left
Balanced Budget: Center-Left
Business Tax: Center
Education: Far-Left
Energy: Center-Left
Environment: Center-Left
Gun Control: Center
Health Care: Left
Homeland Security: Left
Immigration: Center-Left (really none of these apply though, a guest worker program is just cheap corporate labor which I would oppose. This sounds like Bush's plan. My position is basically keep the current laws, no guest worker program, and completely ignore the illegals unless they are breaking other laws)
Iran: Center-Left
Iraq: Left
Outsourcing: Center-Left
Personal Tax: Center-Left
Same-Sex Marriage: Far-Left (More moderate than the Left position in my view)
Social Security: Center (and Lief is correct)
Unions: Center-Left
War on Terror: Left

A lot of those are kind of stupid, since they involve more your personal opinions than actual policy, and the far left/far right positions typically only involve rhetoric, not policy.

Wow I had some bad ideas.

Abortion: R (Only allow abortion in cases where the mother's life is at risk. Ban partial-birth abortion.)
Balanced Budget: FR (We need to eliminate all debt as quickly as possible. Outlaw deficit spending with a Balanced Budget Amendment.)
Business Tax: FR (Significantly decrease business taxation.)
Education: FR (School vouchers for anyone. Get the federal government out of education completely!)
Energy: R (Coal and oil are our main concerns right now. End dependence on foreign energy. Let private funds research other energy.)
Environment: CR (The environment is important. Find market based solutions to environmental problems.)
Gun Control: R (Gun ownership is constitutionally protected. Protect sportsmen's rights and the Second Amendment.)
Health Care: R (Very limited role for government in health care. Tax credits for personal Health Savings Accounts.)
Homeland Security: L (If we were more respectful to other nations they would respect us in return.  Reduce security measures and funding.)
Immigration: R (Tighten border security with stricter immigration enforcement provisions. Deport illegal immigrants.)
Iran: CL (Diplomacy and economic sanctions should make Iran see things our way.)
Iraq: CL (We have done our job in Iraq. Begin pulling out troops gradually. Set a timeline for full withdrawal.)
Outsourcing: CR (Outsourcing is not a problem, it is part of a globalized world and helps America.)
Personal Tax: R (Taxes should be flatter and lower. Across-the-board tax cuts.)
Same-Sex Marriage: L (Same-sex marriage is a constitutional right.)
Social Security: FR (Let workers privately invest all retirement payments.)
Unions: C (Labor demands must be balanced with business concerns.)
War on Terror: CL (Focus on better foreign policy and cut off terrorist funding, use military force if we must.)


As fezzy said these aren't great choices (especially Iran, leave that to other countries), but it's an improvement over earlier installments..

and you still have some bad ideas.
