QUESTION OF THE WEEK #1

I'm definitely more closely aligned with the Democrats, based on their views.  In terms of health care, I don't necessarily believe that the government should be able to force people to buy health insurance, but I do believe that health insurance companies should not be able to discriminate on who they sell to, and that health insurance should be cheaper and more readily available to a wider group of people, in order to encourage use of it.  I'm also very big on environmentalism.  We should be trying as hard as we can to conserve our resources and keep our companies environmentally safe.  I also believe that everyone should have equal opportunites despite race, sexual orientation, or gender.  I believe that women should absolutely have a choice in reproduction rights.  The government should try to reduce abortion as much as possible by educating the masses more on reproduction and contraceptives, but the choice should be left to the woman actually having the child.  I'm not a huge supporter of the death penalty, and I don't believe torture should be used.  I do not agree with the gun control views of the Democrats, however.
