I’m not the hugest fan about talking politics. Let this be said, if I talk about it, I don’t mind a discussion. I understand others will have differing views and thats OK. As usual with anything in the blogosphere; any views I express are strictly mine and not my employer’s or their affiliates. ;-)

Abortion - Women have the right to choose. I don’t see how it is the governments choice on that.
Budget & Economy - Less corporate rewards for outsourcing/offshoring. Lower taxes, more efficient spending (reform).
Civil Rights - Less government regulation on the Internet; No need for PATRIOT Acts…
Corporations - See ‘Budget & Economy’; I suggest penalties to large corporations for outsourcing
Crime - How about less new laws, and higher enforcement of the ones we have…
Drugs - Lower drinking age to 18; Enforce the current anti-drug laws we currently have.
Education - Just as Mencia says, “Lower the standards.” J/K … Nationalized standard testing for graduation. Perhaps, forced SAT exams.
Energy & Oil - Reward R&D of new fuel technologies with tax breaks or Gov’t contracts.
Environment - Copycat California’s ULEV vehicle requirements nationwide.
Families & Children - Forget this “protect marriage” propaganda.
Foreign Policy - Diplomacy, secured by free trade agreements. If not … the country gets embargoed and cut off from US.
Free Trade - This is a global market, and let other countries get in on it too; less dependency, more competition.
Government Reform - As bureaucratic as it sounds; complete reform, covert all paper documents to digital. A start is with a democratic control in Congress.
Gun Control - Current regulation is OK, just enforce it.
Health Care - I don’t think anyone has a good idea for this. Offer ways to make it simpler to understand.
Homeland Security - This is the biggest waste of government funds; just utilize our current resources (NSA, FBI) and take the courts out of it. (Ooops, that’s what we did.)
Immigration - Stricter enforcement of the US/Mexico border. Use military technology for detection; give valid notice of electric fences and thats it. Perhaps, raise quotas to positively encourage legal immigration.
Jobs - More jobs. Less outsourcing. Until every person in America has a job - penalize corporations for outsourcing. The only policy they understand is money and use those funds to assist in the learning and job development of anyone who is a victim of outsourcing.
Principles & Values - Not so conservative. Bible != Constitution.
Social Security - Since when does the government ever operate on the black or green. Social Security is a benefit that everyone should receive after like 55 or something. Again, no one has a right answer for it, ether way we’re all screwed.
Technology - We should be the #1 technological country on Earth. Nope, Japan beat us to it. More technology.
War & Peace - Go after terrorists that actually attacked us. War in Iraq - not for the right reasons; carpet bomb the terrorists and just own them hardcore. Drop this whole “jihad” BS, stop playing the victim.
Welfare & Poverty - Offer job placement assistance, offer intensive counseling in jails/prisons and work to make them productive individuals in life. Crimes like murder, rape, etc. need to be heavily enforced.

As you can see, I have a simple answer for everything. Not really, its just all this constant political banter is wasting everyones time.
