Gay Marriage?

Stadium Funding?

• Taxpayer dollars should not be used for the building of fields where all anyone does is kick a ball to someone who has to bring it back to its kick-point. Spend it on something useful like emergency services!

Term Limits?

Alternative Energy?

• Clean Energy providers should be profiting, prospering, and dominating the energy industry without government help (i.e. no tax credits and no subsidies)

Medicare & Medicaid?

• I say senior citizens should take full responsibility for their Medicaid entitlement and leave government out of it.
• Republican Party says dismantle it.

Obama-care?

• I don't support government dominating the medical business like under Obama-care. I support a medical business where all citizens have health insurance without any government involvement.

Medical Marijuana?

• Like the Libertarian Party, I also believe in legalizing medical marijuana.

What this means

It means that I am irrevocably a Middle-ground person who want all countries, including US, to be electoral lands of ultra-tiny government. I have some areas I disagree with both parties on, but in general my views are closer to Libertarian Party than to any party in the country. It also means I want the Democrats to STOP E-MAILING ME!!!! I AM NOT IN THE DEMOCRATS ANYMORE, NEVER WANTED TO BE!!!
