President Bush has built his re-election campaign
around his declared success in the War on Terror and
an economic plan based on his consistent support of
tax cuts and opposition to new taxes with the idea
that a stronger economy would offset the increasing
budget deficit.
He supports:
- A Constitutional amendment to ban marriage between two people of the same sex
- Pre-emptive military action anywhere in the world to prevent potential threats toward the United States
- Active intervention in nations that are promoting terrorism
- Addressing the budget deficit by cutting government spending rather than raising taxes
- Delivering Federally funded social services and poverty aid through religious and other non-profit organizations
- Limited restrictions on use of natural resources in an effort to spur economic growth
- Extending the current ban on assault weapons
- Increased spending on the fight against AIDS in Africa
- Spreading democracy throughout the world in an effort to eradicate hatred and prejudice
He opposes:
- Permitting US citizens to be held accountable by international institutions that infringe on the sovereignty of the US, such as the International Court of Justice in The Hague
- Abortion, except where necessary to save the mother's life
- Most restrictions on gun ownership
- Most stem cell research
