Like Kadath, I went to JohnKerry.com
How is this answer, I found two things that I agree with half of (two halves make a whole, right).
The first:

In America, a rising tide is supposed to lift all boats. But today, Americans are working harder, earning less, and paying more for health care, college, and taxes. Corporate profits are soaring, the government keeps expanding, but the opportunities for our middle-class are shrinking.

The part I agree with regards gov't expansion and middle-class opportunites.
The second:
Quote:
Together, Americans will be freer and stronger when we break our dependence on foreign oil.
Today, we consume 2.5 million barrels of oil per day from the Middle East, where instability has pushed prices to record highs. These soaring energy costs are burdening middle-class families with higher gas prices, and our dependence on Middle East oil is putting our national security at risk.

I agree with the foreign oil thing, but the top two importers of oil to the U.S. are Canada and Mexico. Alternative energy aside, I would like to see us get more oil from within our territory. I don't have a problem with importing from Mexico and Canada as they are our "friends" and they need a healthy economy just as we do (plus, it is better to have a neighboring country with a growing economy). I would like to see the oil we get from the Middle East at least cut in half (that way we can't be held hostage by OPEC).
The problem I had was that several issues that are important to me, Kerry and Bush are very similar on.
Veteran's Benefits would be another one, but I can't really tell what is true and what isn't from either side.
