Gay rights
Legalization of drugs
Separation of church and state

Where do you stand on women's reproductive freedoms?
Environmental issues?

Just curious.

Well, I think perhaps you do agree with some of the things he's standing up for, like lifting the moratorium on drilling and such. At least you seemed to agree with that earlier here. Perhaps there are others which you do not.

I agree that he is throwing himself at the conservative base. He has to win this election. With luck, I'm hoping he can bring some more sanity and moderation to that arch-right group in the process, even in this election. Republicans all used to be a lot more like McCain than what we see in modern-day Bush/Cheney. President Bush's grandfather Prescott, although a Republican, was one of the most reasonable and moderate senators this country has ever had. The media-influenced polarization we have is not good for this country. It's damaging here, too, but in the scheme of things, relatively uninfluential on this site.
