Puerto Rico should become a U.S. state. It should be taxed like one too

The Obama Administration should issue a statement of support to the Iranian election uprising. If we can support wmd's that don't exist, why not support something that you can actually see is happening?

Mark Sanford should not resign as governor of South Carolina. So he had an affair, find me a politician who hasn't lol

Sarah Palin should not pursue political office again. I never thought she was qualified in the first place

The Obama Administration will have a positive impact on the Middle East peace process. I think his message is appealing to many who have not heard such a message in a very long time. That we are occupying this earth first as humans, than as people of different cultures, ethnicities, etc.

There are not persuasive non-religious reasons for prohibiting abortions. Not to me anyway.

Bill O'Reilly should not bear responsibility for the murder of Dr. Tiller. Bill has a TV show. However, I can't blame him for the actions of someone who listens to him. As a society, I think people need to start holding themselves more accountable. Its like blaming Oprah for the Susan Summers thing. Oprah and Bill both have a job. Its to make money and get ratings. People need to learn to think for themselves.

The U.S. military should not maintain its "Don't ask, don't tell" policy. I think a person who is fighting to defend his / her country should be able to do so regardless of what others think of their orientation. With that said, they shouldn't have to hide who they really are.

President Obama should release new photos depicting U.S. detainee abuse. If your gonna open up this can of worms, then open it up all the way

President Obama's video message to Iran will have a positive effect on U.S.-Iranian relations.

The U.S. cannot stabilize Afghanistan. We have nothing they want

The U.S. should hire private contractors to combat piracy. Brilliant!

Paying taxes is patriotic. It all depends on the tax you are paying. Everything comes at a price, even freedom.

The U.S. should end the embargo against Cuba. Isn't it time that we all move on?

Eliot Spitzer should run for public office again. If he's good at his job, than why not? I think having politicians or other public figures as role models is a dangerous cocktail.

All troops should be removed from Iraq at the end of President Obama's 19-month timetable. Let's bring them home, and stop spending money overseas when we need it here

Vacant U.S. Senate seats should be filled by popular election.

Senator Roland Burris should not resign. Not until he's proven that he's done something wrong

President Obama should not push towards a bipartisan approach to governing. He should do what is needed to get the job done

Bill Clinton's was one of the best presidents ever.

President Obama will be a two-term president. I think he's subtly setting himself up to be a 2 term president

Barack Obama has led the debate on the economic stimulus package effectively. I think he's doing whatever he has to

The Guantanamo detention center should be closed.

Tom Daschle was not a good choice to be Barack Obama's Secretary of Health and Human Services. Definately would have been way too much of a distraction

Hugo Chavez's leadership has had a positive impact on Venezuela. I don't know much, but I'd say better than what they've had before.

Rush Limbaugh's comments about "wanting President Obama to fail" were not appropriate. In this day and age, saying that you hope Obama fails is simply saying you hope he won't create more jobs and get the economy better. Which if you have a $400 million dollar contract doesn't make much of a difference to you I guess.

The U.S. should not ban funding for international family planning groups that perform abortions and/or lobby for abortion rights.

The boos for President Bush at Barack Obama's inauguration were appropriate. Its America, and there is nothing wrong with a lil freedom of speech.

Pastor Rick Warren was a good choice to give the invocation at Barack Obama's inaugural. I think it shows him walking the walk, and not just talking the talk, about uniting people with different viewpoints

It should be legal for healthy adults to sell their organs for transplants. You should be able to do what you want with your body.

Rush Limbaugh has had a negative impact on the Republican Party. I think people like Rush have done more harm than good, with some of the hateful tone and jargon they use to excite their audience.

Barack Obama's national security team is "Satisfactory." I think its good in terms of the potential it has, but how well it performs will be judged after he takes office

President Clinton should not have been impeached.

Barack Obama should offer Hillary Clinton the position of Secretary of State.

Barack Obama should create a cabinet level position to address climate change.

The religious beliefs of an elected official should not affect their policy decisions. Easier said than done

Obama's campaign was the most significant factor contributing to his election victory. He ran a great campaign, and gave the public what they wanted. Substance, and a plan of action.

Sarah Palin had a negative impact on John McCain's candidacy. Probably the main reason he lost the support of several key Republicans

Barack Obama should invite Republicans to serve in his administration. Its important to here all sides of an issue

The "Bradley Effect" does still play a role in American politics.
