Don't let the reg date fool you. I've been a lurker for years, and a poster under another SN. I didn't like that SN.

Here's a handy list!

Pro:

God
Science
Military & the Iraq War
Zoning
Intellectual Debate
Adoption
1st Amendment
2nd Amendment
Hell, all of the Amendments (well, first 13 at least, and a couple after that)

Anti:

Abortion
Nanny State (except for drug legalization - it's a bad idea, kids)
Regulation (some exceptions, see Pro list)
Gay Marriage
IDers and their pathetic and childish arguments (Crevo threads make me sad :( So much proud and willful ignorance)
Racism
Bigoted Statements (including those against homosexuals)
Taxes (durr)
Smoking
Idiotic Smoking bans
That the nature of politics in the present environment shuns reasoned debate. Any politician that uses a talking point, even conservatives, will not get my vote.
Gerrymandering and redistricting


At this point, I support Mitt Romney for President.


I stole appropriated this quote from another user. I agree whole-heartedly with these parts of the screed:

"But like any powerful weapon, the use of God's name on one's behalf should be used sparingly. The religious factions that are growing throughout our land are not using their religious clout with wisdom. They are trying to force government leaders into following their position 100 percent...... And I am even more angry as a legislator who must endure the threats of every religious group who thinks it has some God-granted right to control my vote on every roll call in the Senate.
