“I am a supporter of the Iraq and Afghanistan wars, and tough on terrorism. I do believe the Iraq war has been terribly executed.

I believe the First Amendment is the cornerstone of American values and so I abhor government interference in free speech; I support Howard Stern’s right to broadcast and like his show and I have come to see that regulation of political speech is dangerous.

I believe in separation of church and state but I’m not nutty about it; it’s OK to say Merry Christmas, but it’s not OK to bring prayer to school or religious dogma to the FCC.

I am pro-choice, though have no idea what I would do if faced with that choice myself.

I believe government must find some way to fix America’s health care and health insurance mess.

I do not think big media are too big because there is new competition, and I do not support government regulation of media.

I do not think that development is a dirty word and believe that open-space taxes are sometimes a waste and a welcome mat for local corruption.

I support Israel’s right to exist.

I am in favor of government funding for research, including stem-cell research.

I think we are criminally behind on development of alternative fuel and fuel-conservation solutions.

I think we are dangerously behind in open development of broadband.

What else?”
