(1) Smaller government, smaller national debt, lower deficits and lower taxes by opposing bills like Obama’s “stimulus” bill
I support, however I also view the Republican Reps with distrust as they conveniently ignored it once in power.
(2) Market-based health care reform and oppose Obama-style government run healthcare;
Seeing as I got laid off to reasons completely out of my control and refused the $600/mo COBRA... I'm not really that opposed to government healthcare as a safety net. What if I get cancer before I find a new job?
(3) Market-based energy reforms by opposing cap and trade legislation;
I oppose cap & trade legislation, but am 100% for government support of renewable energy. It's a Geo-Political issue for me, not an Al Gore issue.
(4) Workers’ right to secret ballot by opposing card check
I was neutral towards Unions until I had to work alongside them. IMO they simply allow crappy workers to continue working where they'd otherwise be canned.
(5) Legal immigration and assimilation into American society by opposing amnesty for illegal immigrants;
Relatively moot issue for me. Increase legal immigration.
(6) Victory in Iraq and Afghanistan by supporting military-recommended troop surges;
I'm there to win.
(7) Containment of Iran and North Korea, particularly effective action to eliminate their nuclear weapons threat
Yes, I believe Iran won't last another 10 years... and we can (hopefully) out-wait Kim Jong Il and hope for an internal collapse.
(8) Retention of the Defense of Marriage Act;
Always been a "Slap Forehead" issue for me. 100% for Same-Sex Marriage... hell give them Civil Unions to keep the bible out of it.
(9) Protecting the lives of vulnerable persons by opposing health care rationing and denial of health care and government funding of abortion; and
I'm against Abortions, but I'm not looking to make it Illegal.
(10) The right to keep and bear arms by opposing government restrictions on gun ownership
I'm a Texan... you figure it out.
