How many important issues does it take for you to vote one way or the other?

What is your key issue?

What do you hope to achieve? Is it to "show those Republicans" or is it to accomplish some specific goal.


For the record, mine are:
Human rights Partial birth abortion ban signed after being vetoed 2 times by that last guy.
Defense Tell me who you wanted in place of W on 9-11?
Taxes The President pushed for a tax cut, less of a marriage penalty and to phase out the death penalty, but the Congress refuses to make it permanent, Congress adds in pork on top of the budget, and this President has been conservative with his own discretionary spending.

President Bush has done well on all these, especially considering how poorly some of our supposedly Republican Congress-men and -women have acted.

I want more protection of human rights, stronger defense, and a permanent cut in taxes that increases each year. A vote for President Bush will do more to ensure my interests are supported than a vote for any other candidate. A strong showing at the polls this year will vindicate the election of 2000 and hopefully ensure more of a small-government, conservative push in the next 4 years.

my big issues are
that the President is a Christian, pro-life, supports national security ie anti-UN.

also, to a lesser extent, I like tax cuts/ SS privitization.

All the issues you mentioned are important to me too.

The tax cut was nothing compared to the spending increases. That was just a token to satisfy us conservatives.

But the 3 or 4 issued you brought up don't amount to a hill of beans compared to all of the liberal crap he has signed on to.

What do you think of his latest announcement on the NEA?
What do you think of his immigration proposal? What do you think of his prescription drug plan? Are they "conservative"? Will they scar this country for decades---if not forever?
