Ugh. Also,the answers I could choose were questionable. Here's what I would say to a few of 'em:
5. Death Penalty
It should be an option for many serious crimes, and it's use standardized. The business of death should be regulated through all government agencies so the penalty is applied once, and it's done right. Also, bring back the firing squad.
9. Balanced Budget
We can't balance a budget right now because our military is engaged. We should keep an eye on it, but cutting spending when we're already to the bone is stupid. Taxes must be raised, and the tax system reformed.
12. Illegal Immigration
We must strengthen our borders, but also lift caps on people who want to legally come in. Mexico has a waiting list that spans years! We must also invest in fields that would drive people back to work in those countries, such as corn (which now has a good hold for ethanol production).
13. Energy and Enviroment
We must fund not only nuclear energy, but renewable energy to boot. Oil will run out, and is already at a limited supply with it being $100 a barrel of crude, and petrol(gas) $3 a gallon refined.
15. Health Care
A full fledge study is needed on this one. We should be covering everyone's emergency care, and allowing people to enroll in their own maintance care.
16. Gun Control
It should be buried in paperwork. Gun ownership should require a course in gun operation and safety, and licensed. The gun itself should also be inspected and licensed for operation. Ownership without license and certification should be fined heavily. Operation without certification should also be fined heavily, with nessisary exceptions for on-the-fly protection of yourself ("He was about to stab me. The gun was there. I grabbed it and shot him." should be excused).
17. Overseas crisis
We must follow an escalating series of steps. Diplomacy and freezing of assets, with international support first, before sending in multinational troups.

Date: 2008-01-09 12:22 am (UTC)I'm beginning to think this poll has some wierd tilt in it as well. McCain shouldn't have scored that high, nor Romney. (I'm split between Fred Thompson, who is hurt by his close association with McCain, and Ron Paul... who I doubt would ever win.)
