LIBERALS – Generally believe in governmental action to achieve equal opportunity and equality for all, and that it is the duty of the government to reduce community issues and to protect civil liberties and individual and human rights. Also believe the role of the government should be to guarantee that no one is in need. CONSERVATIVES – Generally believe in personal responsibility, limited government, free markets, individual liberty, traditional American values and a strong national defense. Also believe the role of government should be to provide people the freedom necessary to pursue their own goals.

Stance on Abortion:
- Abortion is murder.
- A woman has the right to decide what happens with her body.
Stance on Affirmative Action:
- Due to prevalent racism in the past, minorities were deprived of the same education and employment opportunities as whites.
- Individuals should be admitted to schools and hired for jobs based on their ability. It is unfair to use race as a factor in the selection process.
Stance on Death Penalty:
- For It
- Against It
Stance on Our Economy:
- The free market system, competitive capitalism, and private enterprise create the greatest opportunity and the highest standard of living for all.
- A market system in which government regulates the economy is best. Government must protect citizens from the greed of big business.
Stance on Education - Vouchers and Charter Schools:
- School vouchers create competition and therefore encourage schools to improve performance.
- Public schools are the best way to educate students.
Stance on Nuclear Energy, Oil Drilling, Etc:
- More regulations.
- Oil, gas and coal are all good sources of energy and are abundant in the U.S. Oil drilling should be increased.
Stance on Euthanasia by a Physician:
- Should he legal.
- Should not be legal
Stance on Global Warming / Climate Change:
- Change in global temperature is natural over long periods of time.
- Global warming is caused by an increased production of carbon dioxide through the burning of fossil fuels (coal, oil and natural gas).
Stance on Gun Control:
- More Regulations.
- Less Regulations / fine how it is.
Stance on Providing Health Care:
- Everyone should be able to have it--universal health care.
- Private insurance with fewer regulations. Legal immigrants and American citizens, only.
Stance on Homeland Security:
- Airport security – Choosing passengers randomly for extra security searches is not effective. Rather, profiling and intelligence data should be used to single out passengers for extra screening. Those who do not meet the criteria for suspicion should not be subjected to intense screening. The terrorists currently posing a threat to the U.S. are primarily Islamic/Muslim men between the ages of 18 and 38. Our resources should be focused on this group. Profiling is good logical police work.
- Airport security – Passenger profiling is wrong, period. Selection of passengers for extra security screening should be random. Using other criteria (such as ethnicity) is discriminatory and offensive to Arabs and Muslims, who are generally innocent and law-abiding. Terrorists don’t fit a profile.
Stance on Immigration:
- Support legal immigration. Support amnesty for those who enter the U.S. illegally (undocumented immigrants).
- Support legal immigration only. Oppose amnesty for those who enter the U.S. illegally (illegal immigrants). Those who break the law by entering the U.S. illegally do not have the same rights as those who obey the law and enter legally. The borders should be secured before addressing the problem of the illegal immigrants currently in the country. The Federal Government should secure the borders and enforce current immigration law.
Stance on Private Property
- Respect ownership and private property rights.
- Government has the right to use eminent domain (seizure of private property by the government–with compensation to the owner) to accomplish a public end.
Stance on Religion and Government:
- Support the separation of church and state. The Bill of Rights implies a separation of church and state.
- The phrase “separation of church and state” is not in the Constitution. The First Amendment to the Constitution states “Congress shall make no law respecting an establishment of religion, or prohibiting the free exercise thereof…” This prevents the government from establishing a national church/denomination.
Stance on Same Sex Marriage:
- Don't believe in it / Disagree
- Do believe in it / Agree / Don't care
Stance on Social Security:
- The Social Security system should be protected at all costs.
- The Social Security system is in serious financial trouble and isn't sustainable.
Stance on Taxes:
- Lower taxes and a smaller government with limited power will improve the standard of living for all.
- Higher taxes (primarily for the wealthy) and a larger government are necessary to address inequity/injustice in society (government should help the poor and needy using tax dollars from the rich).
Stance on United Nations:
- The UN promotes peace and human rights. The United States has a moral and a legal obligation to support the United Nations (UN). The U.S. should not act as a sovereign nation, but as one member of a world community.
- The UN has repeatedly failed in its essential mission to promote world peace and human rights. The wars, genocide and human rights abuses taking place in many Human Rights Council member states (and the UN’s failure to stop them) prove this point. History shows that the United States, not the UN, is the global force for spreading freedom, prosperity, tolerance and peace.
Stance on War on Terror / Terrorism:
- Global warming, not terrorism, poses the greatest threat to the U.S., according to Democrats in Congress.
- Terrorism poses one of the greatest threats to the U.S. The world toward which the militant Islamists strive cannot peacefully co-exist with the Western world. In the last decade, militant Islamists have repeatedly attacked Americans and American interests here and abroad.
Stances on Welfare:
- Oppose long-term welfare. Opportunities should be provided to make it possible for those in need to become self-reliant.
- Support welfare, including long-term welfare. Welfare is a safety net which provides for the needs of the poor. Consider a universal basic income.
Stance on Military Defense:
- Increase spending
- Decrease Spending
