The U.S. military should accept recruits with criminal records. Military reform IS effective. And why not put a leash on a violent animal, and control them?
The U.S. military should not maintain its "Don't ask, don't tell" policy. But hey, why should I give my life to a country that doesn't want me or allow me to donate blood to save lives. That would deny me visitation when my partner is hospitalized. Denies me inheritance when my partner dies. Doesn't protect me when my boss says
The government agencies should fund gun-related policy research. However, I would state that I think it should be specifically funded, not given to an organization to study without specifically allotted funds. I hate the thought of shorting funds related to Cancer or AIDS for example, to fund this.
America was not founded on Christian values. Was founded on the values of people no longer wishing persocution whether it be religious, in business, or criminal. Yes, Australia isn't the only country with a criminal background people.... ok John Adams says no. Thomas jefferson says no. Ben Franklin
Democracy is not the most effective political system. apparently it is a semi-socialist republic under god....
President Clinton should not have been impeached. No. Hell, no. He was one of the best presidents we had, and certainly did not lead the pack in moral terptitude. JFK had sex too y'know! Bush's family tree is so soaked in oil money, I'm not surprised he chose coke over pot. The open flame coulda killed h
Military experience is not an important qualification for the presidency. That is what advisors are for, to help where we are weakest.
The Palestinian government should recognize Israel as a nation. They need to recognize each other as humans too.
The U.S. government should privatize the Postal Service. Give it a chance, and put government money in health cre instead.
The U.S. military should award the Purple Heart to soldiers suffering from Post-Traumatic Stress Disorder (PTSD). Personally, as a Psych major, there are worse things than physical injuries. Give the men recognition. Yay, my first issue!!
Congress should pass the Webb-Hagel G.I. Bill.
The U.S. is not safer from terrorism today than it was before 9/11. Thats like saying our country is safer from drugs thanks to the war on drugs.

Israel should recognize Hamas as the leaders of the Palestinian Authority.
The North American Free Trade Agreement has not been effective.
The U.S. government should not assassinate Osama bin Laden. Where and when do we draw the line? Move an inch towards this despicable action now, how much easier is it to do next time?

President Bush will be a liability for John McCain in the general election.
The U.N. should impose sanctions on Iran.
Israel should build settlements in the West Bank.
Michelle Obama will neither be an asset nor a liability for her husband in the general election.
The U.S. should intervene with military force if Iran attacks Israel. Only because we are ALLIES. Although i do not agree with intererencr in conflicts outside the US, I do however believe in standing behind our obligations taken once the decision has been made, otherwise the US will lose it's reputation for standing behind
The Afghanistan-Pakistan region should have the higher priority in the War on Terrorism.
The Guantanamo detention center should be closed.
The U.S. should not restrict prisoners' access to lawyers at Guantanamo Bay.
