Question: Where do they stand?

[Popol Vuh]

In the last couple of years of my time here on DU (thank you Skinner), I've seen how Bush's policies affected DU'ers to include myself. I've seen how upset, saddened and frustrated we've been having to sit here and watch so much senseless killing based on lies and distortions. I've seen how frustrated we've been watching Bush, Cheney and other White House members and Republican Congressmen not being held accountable for their actions. I've seen how some of us have lost their jobs due to Bush's economic policies and how the rest of us pain over that issue too.

So my question is this: Where does Hillary and Obama stand on these listed issues below? If there is a voting record and a campaign pledge conflicting with each other on any of these issues, please state as such. I ask this so that we can contrast them both against what we have all felt over these last few years with Bush and the Repubs in charge.


1) Iraq War invasion?

2) Iraq War time table for "complete" withdraw?

3) Iran?

4) Outsourcing/Globalization?

5) NAFTA?

6) Taxation with respect to middle class Vs rich class?

7) Health Care?

8) Public education?

9) Public secondary education?

10) Environmental policies?

11) Alternative energies R&D?

12) Consumer Protection laws?

13) Financial hardship (Bankruptcy) laws?

14) Federal funding with respect to public media?

15) Woman's reproductive health and right to choose?

16) Stem Cell R&D?

17) Patriot Act?

18) Use of such actions as water-boarding and the Geneva Conventions?

19) Electronic eavesdropping Vs 4th Amendment protections?

20) Social Security and public assistance for the poor?



Thank you to anybody who responds to my request.

2. holy crap, homework on a sunday?

Make your own decisions and dont ask people to hand you the easy answer. Also dont trust what other people tell you about the candidates. Read their policy papers and platforms and see which one you like better.
