1. At his WEB page he avoids answering the issue about amnesty for illegal aliens.

I believe he supports the McCain-Kennedy bill, like the majority of the Senate does.

2. He does not even address his position (if any) on the right to keep and bear arms.

He supports, of course.

4. He does not address his position on racial preferences.

He supports affirmative action, if that's what you're trying to get at.

Other issues (addressed by NPAT) include Abort, Spending, Taxes, School Vouchers, Social Security reform.

He is pro-choice. He is against privatizing Social Security. He does not support school vouchers. He is for fiscal responsibility and balancing the budget.

Hope that helps.

1. Uh, what about SDI?

2. His web page shows norhing about amnesty for illegal aliens.  Do you have a source for this one?

3. On the Right to Keep and Bear Arms.  At one time he was a supporter of this right.  However, have seen nothing this year on his current position on this matter.  Could you please cite a source?

4.  Uh, 'affirmative action' is a rather nebulous area.  I specifically asked about RACIAL PREFERENCES for things like education, employment, contracts, etc.  From what I have seen, Webb has aboided answering this question.

5. Now the lefties have assured me that Webb is pro-abortion, and opposed to giving parents the choice of sending their child to a non-governmental school if they cannot afford it. 

6. Now, on spending, does he support increases on nondefense spending?

7. Does he propose to 'balance the budget' via tax increases?  The NPAT gives a lot of options there. 



He is very pro-gun, I don't know what else you want to know. His position has not changed. He is pro-choice, pro-contraception, pro-reducing the number of abortions.

As for the budget, he supports raising taxes on the wealthy and reigning in spending to help balance the budget. He is pro-worker and pro-middle class.

He believes in affirmative action, can't give you any more details than that.

Don't know about SDI.

He is a Democrat who agrees with Democrats on the majority of the issues. Carl, you are a die-hard conservative and a George Allen supporter.

Smear away, Carl.

Carl, I don't think I attacked you by calling you a "hard-core conservative". That is just the truth.

Like most, you do not understand "the left". "The left" supports James Webb because he is a proud Democrat with a backbone. He won't sit back and let George Allen smear him. He was a war hero with great foreign policy cred, and he has been opposed to the Iraq war all along.

"The left" knows that James Webb doesn't agree with them on every issue, but he does agree with them on the majority of issues. I can't think of any big issues where he would truly anger "the left".

The SDI is really not that big a issue in most people's minds.

You are clueless, Carl. You are one of the most strict right-wing Ideologues I have ever seen.
