I thought this was such a cool idea that I am stealing nebraska’s idea and applying to us Indies and 3rd partiers.
What kind of Indy or 3rd partier are you?
I would call myself a moderate libertarian.
For:
Free trade
Pre-emptive military action (in principal)
Pro-choice
Gun control (but not disallowing the people the right to have them)
Small (tiny) federal government
The constitution, I just can’t reconcile my belief on the gun control issue and whether control is prohibited.
States rights
FREEDOM
Semi isolationism (I would like us to pull back a bit)
Charities not government charities
Individualism
More money to be spent on the Military (salaries), geeze they put their life on the line to protect us but we can't offer them a decent salary.
Against
Universal health coverage (not that I don’t want everyone to have health coverage I just don’t think the government is capable of handling it efficiently and cost effectively.)
Patriot Act
Death Penalty
Government subsidies to ANYONE
Most taxation by the Federal Government (just enough to pay for their operations and the military).
Amendments to the constitution that restrict rights of the individual (unless those rights may cause harm against another)
The Draft
Federal agencies like the FDA and the FCC
Social Security as it is now. Should be privatized.
The ICC
Racism, all people ARE equal.
Open boarders
On the fence
Iraq
School Voucher’s
UN (but closer to against)
I think that is it, but I may add more later.
edit to add: If this is allowed to be open to undisclosed and no party people, I would like it to be.

For:
Free trade
Pro-choice
Small (tiny) federal government - AS we are able too with a population of 300Million+
The constitution, I just can’t reconcile my belief on the gun control issue and whether control is prohibited.
States rights -to a degree it doesn't interfere with individual rights
FREEDOM
Semi isolationism (I would like us to pull back a bit)
Individualism
Universal health coverage (not that I am against free trade, but what we have now is not free trade, and the profit motive and a good health care system are mutually exclusive)
Death Penalty
Increased penalties for corporate wrongdoing- plus creating laws making it far easy to prosecute them- and requiring them to use public defender agencies- no multiple lawyer teams for them!
Popular vote to determine lawmakers salary
Against
Patriot Act
Amendments to the constitution that restrict rights of the individual (unless those rights may cause harm DIRECTLY against another, such as fraud, theft or murder/rape)
The Draft
Racism, all people ARE equal.
Open boarders
Pre-emptive military action
Any tax breaks, subsidies, reduced prices, special breaks of any kind for any corporation with more than 2000 employees.
On the fence:
Electoral college (to end or not to end)
Term limits
Balanced budget
popular vote for defense budget and individual big ticket defense budget items
