Well Infinite .. you know that I have no plans to vote for a non-American. However, I'll listen to what you have to say.
History lesson, many of my family left the UK in the 1700s to go to the new world, so i do have some links to America. If you have no plans to vote
for a "non-American" why bother asking me questions?
And this is just a game, btw
1 - Your stand on the rights of Americans to own and bear arms....
Its a right to own and bear arms, gun controls should be limited but complete ban (like in the UK and other countries) should not be introduce. Owning
firearms is a constitutional right
2 - Your stand on abortion laws ....
Abortion should only be used in certain cases such as rape or to protect the mothers life, but it should not be used because "you've changed your
mind".
3 - Your stand on changing the Constitution to exclude gay marriage .....
As I said in my statement, any changes to the Constitution will be put to a public vote and people should decide
4 - Your economic platform ....
Boosting the manufacturing industry and building better trading ties with the EU and India. Investing in ethanol energy will help to make the American
economy stronger and the farming industry because it can help to create more jobs and increase investment in areas such as Iowa. It will also help to
move America away from oil and will also help to combat climate change.
5 - Your stand on the 'death tax' .....
I have never been supportive of the idea of "death tax".
6 - Your stand on the war in Iraq and how/when (IF?) to end it .....
I was against the war, but we should tell the Iraq government that if they do not help to stamp out terrorism and violence we will remove all our
troops with 6 months. The time is over for sweet talking, we are not their to baby-sit the government.
7 - Your stand on our security wall on the southern US border (and then on the Northern border?) ...
Border fence is a good idea, however it cannot be the only method. The Mexican government has to become more involved in protecting the border, not
just America.
8 - Your stand on other security issues such as security in our ports etc ...
Security checks should be introduce at all major ports and airports throughout the United States. Many countries throughout the world have a border
style security team. Protecting the American people should be the most important thing and we should do everything we can to protect them from
harm.
9 - Your stand on intelligence gathering within the USA in regards to terrorism and constitutional rights -
The US should continue its relations with other global intelligence to protect the American people. Phone tapping is a vital tool in combating
terrorism and can help to convict those who are suspected of terrorist activities. Of course, the American people as a whole should not be spied on
but certain people (with a legit reason) should be monitored.
10 - Your VP and cabinet appointments? (any for me? Just teasing on that )
Play your cards right and who knows!
11 - Your education in America fix? (or does it need it?) Your thoughts on what to do with 'no child left behind'....
I have said in my statement. Regarding "no child left behind" i have heard that its not fully funded and rumours of corruption. A view will be taken
and a decision will be taken.
12 - Your policy for foreign aid and 'forgiving debts' .....
Forgiving debts should be rewarded to countries who are not corrupt or undemocratic. Foreign aid should be monitored so it goes to the people, not the
pockets of government ministers. Foreign aid will only be given to nations who need it i.e famines, drought, etc
13 - What federal funding, if any, would you put into medical research etc etc? Including FETAL stem cell use yes or no??
Stem cell is still a grey area. Funding will be given to help combat illnesses such as Cancer and other deadly diseases
14 - Afghanistan? Your policy there ....
Same with Iraq. Help us or we are leaving.
15 - Oil companies, pharmacuticals, etc etc? Any thoughts in that area as far as your administration goes?
Creation of a government monitoring commission to monitor the activites of these organisation. This will include monitoring ethics.
16 - The United Nations .... Your policy and thoughts in regards to that and how your administration would deal with them??
Already been explained in my platform. Push for democratic reform
17 - Amnesty for illegals or send them back (anchor babies and all)??
Those who have been in the United States of America for atleast 15 years to be given amnesty, anyone less will have to go back and then go through the
correct channels. Incentives will be offered to countries who work with the United States to combat illegal immigration and prevent their citizens for
gaining illegal access to America.

BUT you definitely don't sound liberal to me.
