(1) Smaller government, smaller national debt, lower deficits and lower taxes by opposing bills like Obama’s “stimulus” bill
What size is our current government?
(2) Market-based health care reform and oppose Obama-style government run healthcare;
Single payer system.
(3) Market-based energy reforms by opposing cap and trade legislation;
Funny that this is all about opposition. I guess that is the key to conservatism. Something needs to be done regarding energy, but it would be nice to collaborate several ideas instead of picking the one that the most people can rally behind or against.
(4) Workers’ right to secret ballot by opposing card check
Trivial.
(5) Legal immigration and assimilation into American society by opposing amnesty for illegal immigrants;
Nope. I support amnesty followed by better border regulation.
(6) Victory in Iraq and Afghanistan by supporting military-recommended troop surges;
If I were made president today, they'd be on chalk 1 outbound starting tonight. I'd be happy to provide aid for building infrastructure.
(7) Containment of Iran and North Korea, particularly effective action to eliminate their nuclear weapons threat
Step one, the US should dismantle and decommission all mass destruction capable weapons, today. I know I know, but tons of countries will see our weakness and attack. Bullshit.
(8) Retention of the Defense of Marriage Act;
I'm in favor of the Abolition of Marriage Act.
(9) Protecting the lives of vulnerable persons by opposing health care rationing and denial of health care and government funding of abortion; and
That is a paradox. If you care about the lives of vulnerable people you damn sure better let their doctor help them through the means they see fit.
(10) The right to keep and bear arms by opposing government restrictions on gun ownership.
Absolutely not. I don't want my daughter to have a shoulder launched tactical nuke, the rest is just a curve from extreme to extreme. Perhaps we should discuss the appropriate place for government to land on that curve.
Whew, I scored a zero.
