Abortion
1. Respect the rulings of Roe vs. Wade, but make adoptions to the ruling possible
Hard to tell what that means in English, but I think it's "new laws."
2. The right to choice must constitutionally be safeguarded.
Constitutional amendment.
3. Late term abortions should be legal only when the mother's life or health is at risk.
New law, Constitutional amendment,...?
4. Support for parental notice of teen pregnancy and family planning programs.
New law, possible new federal programs.
5. Supports expansion of embryonic stem cell research.
New law, likely new federal program.
.
6. Believes in reaching out to teens in order to reduce teen pregnancy through funding of sexual education and providing contraceptives.
New law, likely new federal program.
7. In summation, abortion should be kept legal, safe and rare.
Meaningless dribble and likely in contradiction to the program to this point.
Budget & Economy
1. Protection of the next generation through paying off the United States debt.
There's a war on. Have you heard? Show me a balanced budget in wartime.
2. Reduction of outsourcing-bring more jobs back home.
New laws. But how? Repeal economics?
3. Reduction of taxes within a balanced budget.
Dribble for the voters. HOW? The Devil's in the details.
4. No history of support for reduction of federal spending.
THAT'S certainly true.
Civil Rights
1. Supports rights being provided to gays in domestic partnerships.
NICE dodge. New law. If she could ever get it through Congress, which she can't.
2. Military service should be based on conduct, not sexual orientation. (Pro-Gay rights)
New law, new program.
3. Reduction of prostitution is a major concern.
I thought THAT was true everywhere but NV.
4. Emphasis on women's rights being interchangeable with human rights.
We tried that. It was called the ERA. It didn't get very far.
5. An apology for slavery is due, but there should be more focus on changes to civil rights in the present.
NUTS!
Certainly new laws and new programs.
Crime
1. Supports the "Three Strikes" rule and the construction of more prisons.
HUGE new spending. But, of course, we get a balanced budget. New law.
2. Supports increased funding and stricter sentences for hate crimes.
New spending. But, of course, we get a balanced budget.
Why should the motivation of a crime affect the sentence - at least this way? A crime's a crime. Sentence it. This is a liberal "feel good" measure. And a travesty and trampling og of the "justice"part of law.
3. Supports requiring DNA testing for federal executions.
"Huh? New spending. But, of course, we get a balanced budget. New law. New program.
Education
1. Opposes merit pay for individual teachers.
Of course. THEN we might get good teachers. Incentives work every else in the country EXCEPT the gov't.
How about vouchers?
en.wikipedia.org
heartland.org
2. Address the shortage of teachers by providing a salary increase.
You need a baccaulerate to teach 3rd grade? I would think any decent HS grad would be qualified. You need it it ONLY because the teacher's union, which has a strangle hold on American education, says you do. Your going to pay a physics or math teacher, who can walk out the door to any technological private company, the same as an American Studies teacher, whose only demand is right where s/he is? Are you NUTS???
HUGE new spending. But, of course, we get a balanced budget. New law.
3. Create smaller class sizes and increase the number of after-school programs available to reduce gang membership.
HUGE new spending. But, of course, we get a balanced budget. New law.
If I can make $5,000 in an afternoon selling drugs, why would I bother with "after-school programs"?
4. Metal detectors at schools are highly valuable to safety and should not be seen as an intrusion.
New spending. But, of course, we get a balanced budget. New law. Effective only until methods are found to defeat the detectors, which won't be very long once they become common.
Who the H are YOU or Hillary to tell other people what they should think? "Big Brother" at its best.
5. Increase of arts education in our schools.
WHY? Why not something useful?
6. Does not support school vouchers because they take money from public schools. Pro-public education voting record.
Shove the public schools up her a**! THe INTENT of vouchers is to ELIMINATE public schools. There's nothing wrong with this effect.
Hillary is quite obviously pandering to a few voting blocs here at the expense of the country, its future, and its kids education.
7. Charter schools are good in providing options within the public school system.
And vouchers are better!
Foreign Policy
1. Fight terrorism with cooperation.
Considering that Iran or the Palestinian Authority has not been willing to cooperate to date, I see no reason why the should now. More likely an excuse for large bribes to them. New laws, more spending.
What do you do when they simply refuse to cooperate or lead you on?
2. The smartest strategic choice is maintaining peace.
I'm sure that was foremost in the minds of Al Qaeda on 911.
3. Supports becoming more engaged in world affairs involving human rights; we must lead by staying engaged with the rest of the world.
So was Jimmy Carter, the biggest Presidential failure of the 20th century.
Gun Control
1. Supports limiting access to guns by looking for early warning signs of violent intentions among purchasers
WOW! What a federal or federal-supported program this could be!
2. Supports licensing and registering all handguns.
Nice federal program here. Ineffective too. Do you HONESTLY think this will keep guns out of the hands of criminals? Sure will do a good job of disarming law-abiding citizens, though.
3. Increased control on guns will keep them out of the wrong hands.
NUTS! It may increase the price of them, like the War on drugs has increased the price of drugs, but otherwise it will be as effective.
Health Care
1. Support for universal coverage through affordable health care options for all citizens.
New spending. But, of course, we get a balanced budget. New law. New program(s).
2. Increase the commitment to the Global AIDS crisis.
New spending. But, of course, we get a balanced budget. New law.
3. Regulation of tobacco by implementing high penalties for underage smoking.
Against whom? The kids who have no money? Their parents who may have no knowledge of it? The retailer who will either increase prices or drop fags, creating a black market that you REALLY can't control (like we control drug use so effectively)?
New law(s).
4. Supports strengthening the Medicare program.
New spending. But, of course, we get a balanced budget. New law.
Homeland Security
1. Supports a nuclear test ban treaty
We have several already. When Iran explodes a nuke, what's your and her plan? Nuke 'em? Invade? Ignore it?
2. Supported reauthorizing the Patriot Act (excluding the wiretap provision).
Thought this was a liberal bugaboo, "taking away all our freedoms."
Here's the USA Patriot Act. What's the objection?
epic.org
You DO realize that this is considerably less power than the European gov'ts have?
Immigration
1. Supports a guest worker program and enabling guest workers to gain citizenship.
Nuts. That's an invitation to illegal immigration. We have approximately 3.6M visa overstays already here and Shrillary wants to add more.
workpermit.com
New law needed.
Social Security
1. Believes social security protects both families and retirees.
Pap, playing to the base.
2. Social security is one of the greatest inventions of American democracy. Pro-senior voting record
Pap, playing to the base. One of the reasons I would not vote for her regardless of her opponent.
War & Peace
1. Supports re-deployment out of Iraq in 90 days; critic of the Iraq war under Bush's lead though she voted in favor of it in 2002.
Absolute idiocy. What then? Give Al Qaeda all the money and power a NATIONAL STATE has???? Is she crazy?
"I voted for it before I wanted a chance to vote against it."
New law.
2. Does not support construction of permanent bases in Iraq but does support continual residual force.
????? What do we do? Use out troops as Al Qaeda targets?
3. Restrict the number of troops in Iraq and limit war funding.
New law. If we have no troops in Iraq (see point 1 under this), why do we need funding?
4. Improve relations between Israel and the United States
Right. They're going to LOVE her policies.
5. Condemns bigotry against Muslims as a form of anti-terrorism.
She thinks she has the right to dictate the way I or any other American thinks?
Welfare & Poverty
1. AmeriCorps should be fully funded.
WHY???
New spending. But, of course, we get a balanced budget.
2. The homeless should not be criminalized, rather they should be aided.
New spending. But, of course, we get a balanced budget. New law. New program(s).
3. Establish a National Affordable Housing Trust Fund for the United States.
HUGE new spending. But, of course, we get a balanced budget. New law. New program(s).
4. Provide equal access to capital and jobs for all.
Your gonna dictate the HOUSING MARKET????? Or only part of it?
Figured what inspectors and cops will cost to maintain order and prevent fraud as has occurred under Section VIII?
Though Clinton has refused to recant her 2002 vote for the war in Iraq, she has since then expressed some regret for the action and abundant disapproval of George W. Bush's conduct and leadership throughout the war. Clinton's focus on such crucial topics as health care, social security, abortion, and civil rights are strongly liberal and will appeal to the majority of Democratic Party voters. It would be unwise to underestimate Clinton's strength, influence, and potential as she may very well be the first female president, leading the United States towards a truly more equal society.
God save these United States and their people. |
