On what issues do you buck the standard party line.

[NDN]

These are the major ones:

* Oppose gun control for the most part
* Oppose affirmative action
* Oppose subsidies generally
* Oppose increasing minimum wage
* Support scaling back entitlements
* Support social security reform and more private accounts
* Support free trade and am not hysterical over outsourcing

to mine

It depends on how you define multi-culturalism.

[NDN]

I define it as politically correct bitching in the educational system, tolerating Islam(if islamic nations won't tolerate christians or jews why should we tolerate muslims?), refusal to keep secure borders in the nameo f PC, allowing in refugees, refusal to assimilate immigrants and the feds giving money in the name of PC to groups like black nationalists, aztlanistas and AIM.

Okay, oppose then.

[NDN]

To anyone that caught my post before it was edit: Didn't notice the abortion part when I copy-pasted. Ignore that.

[NDN]

Abortion
Gay Marriage
States' Rights
Military Spending
Religion in Schools
+more I can't remember...

Looks like you're on the right track.

[NDN]

I oppose the death penalty.
I support legalizing marijuana.
I support same-sex marriage.
I support unconditional amnesty for undocumented immigrants.
I oppose a guest worker program.
I support free trade (as a general rule).
I opposed the authorization to invade Iraq.
I oppose the Patriot Act.

With the exception of your stances on trade (which surprises me), amnesty and the death penalty most of your stances don't seem to seriously differ from most Democrats. IMO, the Democratic Party's leadership is way less pro-civil liberties than most of it's base by now in a lot of this country. Of course there are exceptions, like the South...

[NDN]

I support standing up to Bush.

Isn't that the truth? I've been tempted to change my avatar to green more than a few times. Especially after that new wiretapping bill was passed. Bunch of sell outs.

[NDN]

Blue Dog dems need to be purged.

You mean Bush Dogs.

[NDN]

The better question is on what issues do I not buck the party line....

I will answer this one regardless, though:
--------------------------------------------------------------------------

Farm Subsidies -favor gradual elimination, beginning with corporate conglomerates.

Agree.

Social Security -favor introducing private retirement accounts

Agree.

Medicare -favor health savings accounts and the Medicare Advantage Section C that allows senior citizens to choose among various private plans for their health coverage.

Sounds reasonable, but I favor Universal Health-care based on Switzerland's, so it's a moot point.

Welfare -support welfare reform law passed in 1996

Agree.

Medicaid -support allocation to states in the form of block grants in the same manner accorded to welfare subsidies.

See medicare.

Education -support school vouchers, charter schools, de-unionizing the teaching profession, and Bush's No Child Left Behind law (though with full -as opposed to partial- funding).

Disagree on the first and last bits. NCLB was a bureaucratic disaster, I would know since I lived through it. And vouchers cause public schools to become under-funded dumping grounds for anyone the private schools won't accept.

Environment -support expanding nuclear power.  On all other matters related to this issue, I am with the Democrats, though. 

Not so sure about that. The problem with Nuclear Power is really the tremendous amount of nuclear waste it generates.

Abortion -favor overturning Roe vs. Wade, and leaving it to the states

Disagree, but I can see your reasoning here.

Gay Marriage -favor letting the states decide the issue as they see fit

Disagree, gay marriage bans are unconstitutional because of the 14th amendment.

Affirmative Action -oppose race and/or ethnic-based preferences in hiring and college admissions

Agree.

Immigration -will only support amnesty once the border is secured.

Pretty much agree.

Gun-Rights -oppose most forms of gun control except for background checks.  Favor individual interpretation of the Second Amendment.

Agree.

[NDN]

I disagree with the Republicans mainly on social issues, especially abortion and gay marriage.

already.

Either that or . Hell his economic score is less right wing than mine.
