I can help on the national level, but am not sure about local candidates.  It can be hard to figure this out, particularly since many of them have nothing about abortion on their campaign websites.  Here's a helpful link - it takes you right to all the candidates running for national offices in NY this year.  Click on each person and you get an alphabetized list of the issues and the candidate's record, which starts with abortion and includes gay marriage under 'civil rights.'  Or, click on an issue and get a list of all the candidates positions on that issue.  I'm not sure which district you're in in NYC, otherwise I'd just give you the names.\n\nGood luck.

I'm pro but it's interesting to see that some gay are driven towards a "bourgeois" lifestyle when themselves say they are opposed to conventions.\nWHat we have in France with the PACS (the alliance between two people) is a good option because Pacs'ed people, whether they are gay or heterosexuals can share their lives, their taxes, have children and inherit the goods of the other person.

Gay marriage is a very stupid campaign issue.  There are about 1000 issues that are more important.  But I think the reason Laura Bush said that is because Republicans should realize that anyone campaigning against gay marriage will be on the wrong side of history in the long run.

Turn the question around if you will please!\n\nLiberals believe in as little intervention and equality as is possible.\n\nMany (and I accept not all),  who support abstientance,  would like to ban anything to do with personal freedom,  which they see as a threat.  Oh,  and inter racial marriage...........and  ban anyone who is not white and conservative.  These folks so like to tell others what to do!  \n\nSo.  Don't ban them because in a demoracy you let them have their say and then you know who to vote for!  And to take photos of,  as they leave the sex shop!\n\nBut,  they do have a right to have their views heard.  And our right to agree or disagree..............\n\nOff for a good w****

I just finished Coulter's new book, a must read!  It really opened my eyes to a few new connections between liberalism and tyranny.  Plus I had to completely reconsider my views on Darwinism!  I really enjoy books that make you think!\n\nOh, to answer your question: liberals also like to protect any speech that is pro choice, pro gay, pro tax, probiggovernment, etc...\n\nhope that helps!

actually they have ordered the state to find a method of giving the equivalent of marriage rights to gays who register domestic partnerships --  Jersey may have gay marriage soon, it has over 65% support in the polls -- but right now, its domestic partnership they are talking about.\n\nReyn

I think the main difference centers on two issues abortion and gay marriange (aka homesexual rights).  From there I think it branches out into legislations and morality.  Can a man who beleives stem cell research is bad and traditional values good enter into a war under false pretenses ?  I think we gravitate to what makes sense to us a man who refuses to let his religion interfere in legislation some believe can't be trusted.  I agree with Ann Coulter it boils down a relgious belief but both sides have their extreme representives the self-proclaimed Joan of Arcs and Buddah's.  All politics is faith based it's just a matter of where one invests his faith.  The problem with defining them comes when one side defines the other based on contrary views but that's politics.  I think at the end of the day because we can't agree on a few issues we choose to debate them all.

Mel Gibson doesn't have a chance of being Gov in NY....because he doesn't live there.\n\nMel needs to rebuild his life and image before going into politics.

Gay marriage for one, minimum wage for another.\n\nit's not that these issues aren;t important, but they are used to distract from other issues (Iraq, Immigration) and set up separate camps of opinions

The abstinance until marriage stance taught to children is religious...the banning of gay marriages/rights is religous.  So yes, the government does fund religious practices.

What I describe here are typically or what most democrats and republicans support and believe - NOT ALL.\n\nDemocrats are typically Pro Choice/Pro-Abortion - Republicans are typically Pro Life/Anti-Abortion.\n\nMore Democrats are in favor of legalizing Gay Marriage or civil unions. President Bush and many conservative Republicans in congress tried to pass a constitutional amendment to ban Gay Marriage.\n\nRepublicans support freer trade with other countries that provide cheap affordable products to Americans. Democrats support free trade, however oppose free trade with countries such as china, which have massive trade deficits with the United States and are seen as corporate American job outsourcing havens.\n\nDemocrats favor higher taxes: Pro estate tax (death tax), increased property and sales taxes, pro excess corporate profits tax (corporations that are supposedly taking advantage of the American consumer, for example: big oil companies that have been suspected of price gouging.) \n\nDemocratic Federal Income Tax Policy: Cut taxes for middle classes and below, repeal so called "Bush tax cuts" for the wealthy, which is any where between the top 2% and 5% of income earners. The theory behind this policy is that in a modern American economy, you need less people or employees to make large amounts of income/wealth, resulting in the collection of wealth at the top of the income brackets. The Democratic view is it's the government’s job to tax and redistribute this "collected wealth" to the less well off Americans (the poor) and fund social services, such as public education.\n\nRepublicans favor lower taxes and supply side pro business economics: Anti estate tax (death tax) and typically opposed to increases in property and sales taxes and any form of excess corporate profit taxation (corporations that are supposedly taking advantage of the American consumer, for example: big oil companies that have been suspected of pricing gouging.) \n\nRepublican Federal Tax Policy: Cut taxes for all tax payers/brackets. The theory behind this policy is to stimulate economic growth, by first cutting taxes for small businesses and corporations in order prompt business expansion and job creation, resulting in the expansion of the tax base, increased government tax revenue, and more funding for social services, such as public education. And secondly by promoting business creation among wage earners and increasing consumer spending for added economic growth by enabling them to keep more of their money (lower taxes).\n\nDemocrats support a higher minimum wage, some even a "living wage". A raise is needed according to the Democrats because wage earners are making less money now then they were 10 years ago and this is due in part to inflation rising faster than wages.\n\nRepublicans support a minimum wage, but many do not believe a raise is necessary at this time. Their argument is that raising the minimum wage now will cause labor costs to skyrocket, causing added inflation, consumer prices to increase, job loss and corporate outsourcing.\n\n\nJust a few issues covered. A lot of problems on both sides of the asle.

not really. why should other people's backwards ideas bother you, especially when they don't even impact your life? unless you're a homosexual. then they sure do. the scary thing is that these repressed puritanicals are in charge of our lives now, and this isn't just a gay rights issue. the government is after the breeders too, with restrictions on abortion and birth control, and the age of consent.

I am a conservative.\nI do NOT support sanctions and laws against gays marrying and women having abortions.\nThey are definently moral  AND political issues.\nThe reason it is a political issue is the fear of change and the fear that someones morals are not going to be the same.  If it was just a moral issue there would be no laws abridging the issues.\n\nWhat you are looking at is the Republican party platform.  There are real conservatives out here and we want real change.

I would have to put a lot of thought behind it.  The thing is the democrats will never put up a prolife democrat for a national office.  I have more that I disagree with the democratic party than just abortion.  Taxation and spending are just two areas.  I don't believe in any form of welfare. All welfare does is make someone dependent on government.  You have to be more careful with democrats because they are willing to violate the constitution where it comes to the constitutional right to firearms.\n\nThe problem the Republican party is the so-called moderates (in actuality liberals), or what we refer to as RINO.  They believe in spending on everything that government has no right to spend money on, will vote for gun control, and are bas\n\nActually, what I might do is write in someone just to make a point.  (even if doesn't mean anything other than staying true to my principles)

It doesn't really matter now does it. The only hope for this country is if a viable third party candidate runs. The two major parties are totally out of touch with the American public, the constitution and the vision of our founding fathers.\n\n They both have their own agendas,Republicans-big business interests and big business interests(One track minds),Democrats-social programs and big business interests. The heart of America(The middle class) is left out.\n\n A good third party candidate is our only hope.\n\n I will tell the Dems this. If you put ANY candidate out there that supports pro-choice, you will lose. That is a no compromise issue. I know many many people that agreed with Democrats on many issues, as a matter of fact on most issues, but they would not and WILL NEVER compromise on that issue. That is so important to them that they will vote on that one issue only. As much as they may hate the candidate's stand on every other issue, it doesn't matter if he supports them on that issue. They will vote for him. Bank on it.\n\n Also the gay issue drives them crazy. These are not right wing religious crazies either. These are Joe and Sue six pack that doesn't want to see guys walking down the street holding hands and kissing. They don't want their kids to see it either. That's reality people. They are not homophobes. A phobia, by the way, is a fear. They are not afraid of them. They just hold the belief that that way of life is not moral and they don't want their child to see it. Believe it or not the parents have rights too.\n\n So everyone be forewarned that if the Democratic candidate comes out in favor of pro-choice and pro gay marriage they  will lose. Sorry, that's just the way it is. Those are the two issues that cost Dems the last two elections and THINGS HAVE NOT CHANGED. Those are no compromise issues! As much as you rant and rail and tell them that they are homophobes and are not allowing women the right to make decisions about their own bodies, it will not matter. It's not, as many Dems. so arrogantly think, that people don't get it or that they are backward or are religious loons. It's simply that they DISAGREE WITH YOU!\n \n Now don't get me wrong, my personal belief is that Bush is a loon and that Chaney is a truly evil person. I didn't vote for them. But I didn't vote for Kerry either. They were both awful. But people feel VERY strongly about those issues and they will FIGHT VERY HARD to make sure a candidate doesn't win who supports them. That has not changed! So as happy as you are about Bush's current free fall be prepared for a vicious fight.
