He votes for the Federal government to stay out of abortion because he believes it's an issue to be decided on a state by state basis, rather than by the Federal government. (Which is the pragmatic approach to stopping abortion, IMHO.) It makes his voting look skewed towards the pro-abortion side of things.

I'm against a federal marriage amendment as well.

I also skew towards the Liberatarian side. However, as I've said before, they are Un-Electable and therefore irrelevant. I hate the 2 party system and do not agree with either, but lately I've had to vote for the lesser of 2 evils because of the lack of a real constitutional conservative.

set term limits or institute gerrymandering laws.
A one-term limit would be disasterous. Talk about your lame-duck experience.

If youre gonna go with term limits Id go with two just like for president. At least it gives time to get something productive done.

I'm not completely familiar with all of those but weren't they coalitions policing? That's a pretty big difference. But my statement was more to the affect of disputing us gallivanting all over the globe with the sole purpose of human justice.

It's just a screen name I use a lot. My favorite color is green and my favorite animal is a monkey. I have more than 100 stuffed monkeys like the one you put up. :mrgreen:
