I could have typed out my own positions, but line for line, including statements in parentheses, but you just saved me the trouble!
Having given up on finding a political party that stands for this, or finding a way to get a political party to adopt such positions, my main goal in voting is currently to try to keep the political parties in Congress and the presidency opposite. If each has the power to nullify the other, I feel that there will be less overall abuse of power. (Didn't seem to work for the Patriot Act though...)
