My platform

My stances on key issues in the 2008 election.

War in Iraq: Get. Out. There is now easy way of saying this, but there will be more bloodshed before there is less. The Iraqi people can either kill our soldiers or they can kill each other. I don't mean to sound callous, but that is the simple truth. Did Iraq "assist" us in our civil war? (No, they were being oppressed by the British. Why don't we put the blame on Britain for this whole mess, anyway?) The three warring sides in Iraq need to come up with some sort of solution. I am all for the American government mediating these talks, but by enforcing our will upon these people, we are just making future enemies.

Healthcare: Universal healthcare is not the answer. Children should always get the best care available, they are our future (and it's not fair for them to be punished as a result of our politicians' ineptitude). More money needs to be put into healthcare and HMO's need to be held criminally liable for ripping off Americans. However, universal healthcare will just cause more problems than not.

Immigration: I cannot understand people who favor amnesty for illegal immigrants. Your taxes, money that is theoretically supposed to make its way back to you in one form or another, are being spent on people who do not contribute anything to our government themselves. Accelerated citizenship is fine with me, as long as illegal's realize that the American dream is not tax-free.

Abortion: The "woman's choice" argument is a joke. A baby requires a woman AND a man. Also, feminists make me lurch. I think I am undecided on this issue...uh, I'll get back to you.

Gay marriage: This shouldn't even be an issue but since it garners so much media attention, here is my position. WHO CARES?! Honestly, if some neo-con "born-again Christian" works to prevent two people's happiness and love they can, quite frankly, go right to hell.
