Abortion:
Left - Keep abortion as it is presently. Safe, legal, and rare. Keep partial-birth abortion legal.
Almost, opposed to partial-birth abortions

Balanced Budget:
Far-Left - A deficit and debt is fine.  Focus on social programs and how the government can better people's lives.
Strongly disagree

Business Tax:
Far-Left - Significantly increase business taxation.
Disagree

Campaign Finance Reform:
Center-Left - We need to significantly reduce corporate and union donations. Ban soft money contributions.
Agreed

Education:
Left - No school vouchers, large increase to federal funding. Modernize school system with more after-school programs.
Overall agree, not sure about federal funding

Environment:
Far-Left - The environment should be our first national priority. Expand National Park System. Large government programs.
Agree, but maybe not number one. But definitely a top one

Free Trade:
Left - We need to erect large tariff barriers to protect all our industries and our labor market. Pull out of free trade agreements.
Strongly disagree

Gun Control:
Left - We need gun control! Ban certain guns. Require registration/background checks. Gun control protects children.
Agreed

Health Care:
Left - Completely public health care system and include perscription drugs under medicare. Require health insurance for every child.

Left - Decrease funding for weapons and focus on spending for humanitarian relief.
Agreed.

Military Doctrine:

Disagree

Social Security:
Far-Left - No to any private investment, dramatically increase funding.
Overall agree/almost

Nation-Building:
Far-Left - We should not meddle in other's cultures, no matter our moral feelings about some events.
Agreed. I don't see how that is a 'far-left' position.

Civil Rights:
Center - Get the federal government out of civil rights. Leave affirmative action and same-sex unions to the states.
Agreed in the context of the United States

China:
Center - Monitor China within the World Trade Organization. Defend Taiwan.
Agreed.

Crime:
Far-Left - Society makes people bad, punishment worsens it. Rehabilitation is effective. No death penalty and prison industry.
Strongly disagree

I don't care about the math, I'm not a Xahar Democrat. I disagree with him on too many important issues.
