Infidelity should not be grounds for a politician's removal from office. If it is not a prosecutable offense, then it has no bearing on his or her employment.

Films have the power to effect social change. I'm a little disappointed at how angry some seem to be that film can effect social change. What is watching American History X softened the heart of a white supremacist? What if watching the Color Purple changed a racist person's mind? Why should film be considered an evil tool of a liberal agenda?

The U.S. should be a member state of the U.N.

Racism has not played a role in opposition to Barack Obama. I think most of the grand majority of President Obama oppose him regardless of his race. We need to stop looking for racism where it doesn't exist. End the witch hunts.

Hillary Clinton is a good choice for Barack Obama's Secretary of State.

The U.S. should use a flat tax system.

People overreacted to Obama's joke about the Special Olympics.

President Obama's first overseas trip was a success.

Sarah Palin should pursue political office again. She has supporters and she loves the spotlight. I would prefer she didn't, but I would if I were her.

Changes to the Social Security system are necessary.

The government should not be able to access your financial, library, travel, video rental, phone, medical, and religious records without your knowledge or consent.

U.S.-born children of illegal immigrants should become citizens at birth.

Roe v. Wade will not be overturned.

Sarah Palin is qualified to be the President of the United States. I have to change my stand on this. She is qualified, in that she meets the qualifications. She would have the ability to perform her tasks, as long as she had advisers moving things along. I do not think she would do well, or that she would represent my interests, but my not wanting her to be president doesn't make her unqualified. It just makes here less qualified than I would ever want my president to be.

The U.S. should act to stop the genocide in Darfur, Sudan.

The boos for President Bush at Barack Obama's inauguration were not appropriate.

Sonia Sotomayor is a good choice to replace Justice Souter.

President Obama's first 100 days were satisfactory.

The U.S. should institute a national ID card system.

Elected officials should be allowed to change their political affiliation between elections.

Assault weapons should be illegal. There is 0 reason for a private citizen to own this kind of weapon. This isn't the old west.

Private sellers at gun shows should be required to do background checks.

President Obama should not release new photos depicting U.S. detainee abuse.

'Waterboarding' should be characterized as torture.

The Tea Party protests are not a grassroots movement.

I support President Obama's message to the Muslim world. Emphatically.

A third-party candidate can win the Presidency. If it's someone like Bloomberg.

The religious beliefs of an elected official should not affect their policy decisions.

There should not be term limits for elected officials.

President Obama should push towards a bipartisan approach to governing. Should and is.

The Bush Administration was the primary cause of the Republican Party's losses in the 2006 and 2008 elections.

Denying or trivializing the Holocaust should not be criminalized. We can't force people to think what we want them to. That kind of control is Nazi sh*t.

Paying taxes is patriotic. It says that I trust, believe, and am compelled by the state to use a portion of my income to care for my needs, and the needs of my community. Go America!!!
