My gf was talking with a friend of hers. He is 28, has never voted, and was going to vote Bush in this election in accordance with his father's vote. She asked him if he was pro-choice, and when he said he was, asked how he could then vote for Bush.

I don't think a vote should be decided on a single issue, so I wondered what people considered to be the pertinent issues in the upcoming Presidental election, and in U.S. politics in general.

I am doing my best to express these in a non-partisan way, and any semantic advice is welcomed. Just looking at the questions I have formed so far, I tend to put the traditionally Republican view first in the question.

Economy
Which is more important to you, allowing taxpayers to keep more of their money or funding government projects in areas such as defense, education and welfare?

Defense(thanks ART)
Should the US take an active stance in defending itself against terrorism, or should we refrain from invading other nations?

Abortion
(This is an easy one) Are you more pro-life or pro-choice?

Environment(thanks iccky)
To what degree do you favor protecting the enviroment from human damage, even if it means the loss of jobs and economic growth?

Immigration Reform
How do you feel about guest worker programs, amnesty for illegals, driver's licenses and voting rights for illegals and securing the borders?

Gay Marriage/Rights
Do you feel homosexual couples should be afforded the exact same status are hetereosexual couples, or do you feel marriage needs to be be protected from further and possibly debilitating changes?

Foreign Policy
To what degree should the US be involved in the affairs of other nations? Should we be the world's police or pursue a more isolationist policy?


Does anyone have any others? Note I don't want answers to these questions.
