I forgot to do this when I first signed up, so I'll do it now.
Social Policy: Abortion: I find abortion to be immoral, but I still support keeping it legal, though I am moving to the right on this issue. Same Sex Marriage: Of course we should legalize gay marriage! It's a shame that this is even up for discussion! Drugs: Legalize marijuana, but that's it. Keep other drugs like heroin, cocaine, etc. illegal. We should also end the War on Drugs, which has obviously failed. Stem Cell Research: I don't think the government should be in the way of scientific progress. Death Penalty: I support the death penalty, but only in very extreme cases. Gun Gontrol: I oppose any new gun control legislation. Affirmative Action:Affirmative action based on race is basically discrimination, and I'm a minority that dosen't qualify for AA (I'm Indian, the Asian kind.) I strongly oppose race based AA. Prostitution: Even though I personally support prostitution, I support having the states decide.
Overall, I consider myself to be centre-left on social issues.
Economic Issues: Minimum Wage:Raise it to $10. Welfare: I strongly support welfare reform. Right-to-Work: I personally support it, but the states should decide. Taxation: I support across the board tax cuts, and I believe tax cuts do help stimulate the economy. Healthcare: I oppose Obamacare, and support a privitized health care system. Social Security: Don't privitize SS, keep it is as it is. Trade: Free trade is a great thing. In this modern day and age, we can't impose protectionist tarriffs and extreme regulations, though I agree that there needs to be some regulations. I also support free trade agreements like NAFTA. We've been living in a global economy since the end of the Cold War, which is a good thing. I think most protectionist are either die-hard leftist, or right-wing, nationalists. Education: I strongly oppose school vouchers. Balanced Budget Amendment: I support a Balanced Budget Amendment. Enviroment: We need more incentives and laws to help protect the environment. Deregulation:I support it.
Overall, I cosider myself to be centre-right on economic issues
Foreign Policy and National Security Afghanistan: Starting the war was a good decision, but I believe we should end the war by the end of this year. Iran: Diplomacy is far better than war. Cuba: Keep the embargo. Military Spending: Keep as is. Immigration: I support a path to citizenship, and making it easier to come to this country. I believe that immigration is good for the economy, and my parents are immigrants, which influences my decision on this a lot. I don't see any legitimate argument against a path to citizenship. Guantanamo Bay: Keep Guantanamo Bay open.
Overall, I consider myself to be moderately neoconservative on foreign policy.
