I'm voting in the MA Democratic primary tomorrow. I'm an unregistered independent, so I get to choose which primary to vote in.
I'm not 100% on who I'm going to vote for yet. leaning toward Obama because I think he stands more of a chance than Clinton in the general election.
Romney scares me.
Obama is MY frontrunner and has been for quite some time. It really sucks that democratic parties in Texas are basically nonexistent. How the hell is Texas Hold Em' illegal in Texas?!??!?
This is the defining challenge of our generation, yet it is one of a range of challenges that include the rise of China, genocide in Darfur, AIDS across Africa, and authoritarian regimes such as Cuba's Castro and Venezuela's President Hugo Chavez seeking to reverse the spread of freedom.
We must reverse the Clinton Administration's cuts to our military by providing at least 100,000 more troops and devoting at least 4% of GDP to make long overdue investments to ensure they have the equipment, armament, weapon systems, and health care they need.
I oppose civil unions between same sex partners. Government should encourage the formation of families and the nurturing of children, and I believe that this is best accomplished with a mom and a dad. Every child deserves a mother and a father.
Roe v. Wade should be overturned so that states can be permitted to impose abortion restrictions.
I will fight to give our law enforcement personnel the data and information they need to keep us safe, and I will make sure that if we capture a terrorist, we find out what their plans were. When Khalid Sheikh Mohammed, the so-called mastermind of the 9/11 tragedy, was captured he said, 'I'll see you in New York with my lawyers.' Instead he saw GI's and C.I.A. interrogators in Guantanamo just like it ought to be.
