Iraq War - although I see the intent I can also see why some would question it Patriot Act - Well intended but has some flaws that need to be fixed to protect our civil rights Social Programs - No matter what we do we can't be all things to all people. Someone will always feel they've been screwed Tax Cuts - there's a point where you can't cut federal taxes anymore for people. If someone pays zero in federal taxes how can you cut their taxes? Thats called redistribution of wealth and I don't think I support that Selling out to American Coprs - we've been doing that for years on both sides. As a % of tax intake corporate taxes have been falling for a long time Health Care - I don't want the government in charge of health care. Nobody should want this. You talk about an opportunity for trouble <-----thats it! Social Security - This has been an issue for 25 years. What we should all want is to rip it from the hands of government and have it be a savings plan in our name ( a forced plan ) Stem Cell - This is getting a lot of coverage. I don't know what to think. I know I'd use what we currently have frozen to do research but the thought of creating babies in tubes to eliminate diseases scares me. Lets see (with what we have) if we find any answers before we swing into full scale research Abortion - Don't dump this issue on GWB. Polls I've seen seem to be moving away from abortion as a great method of birth control. I think in some cases it should be 100% legal but I believe that many Americans are second guessing the morality behind fetus destruction as a quick easy solution to the one nighter. Gay Marriage - Everyone from Kerry to voters spoke on this issue. Damn few support the notion Religion - Don't be so quick to use a broad brush when trying to paint this as a bad thing. As I said - religion serves a great many people and their needs well. It may not be for you but don't judge it
