I am not beholden to anyone but myself. I too believe the government should be smaller, there should be less government intrusion into our lives, that gay couples should be able to get the same legal rights as married couples, that abortion should remain a legal option (albeit with more stress put on responsibility for decisions made rather than the decision passed off as a fundamental right to choose), that gun ownership should be legal (with background checks mandatory), and prescription drug costs are too high.
We disagree on immigration, Iraq, and the usefullness of manufacturing jobs. People should be allowed to come here to work all they want they should not be eligible for benefits from the government until they become citizens however. Iraq was necessary to prove to the world that we were not going to remain a paper tiger. There is a world economy and it will become more globalized. There is no option in that. Low skill manufacturing jobs will always migrate toward the lowest cost supplier (there will be shifts back and forth when quality issues arise but the trend will continue despite any efforts we make). High skill manufacturing jobs (defense contractors, airplane manufacturing, etc) should be encouraged within our economy before other nations really get a firm foothold in this sector.
