Does anybody else have certain issues they will not compromise on? [View All]

Here are mine in order:

1) Unequivocally opposed to the Iraq War. I will no longer cast a vote for anybody who supports this abomination. I don't care what letter comes after their name.

2) 100% pro-choice. As far as I'm concerned, one cannot be pro-choice and have voted in favor of cloture on Alito. Sorry if that offends some, but nobody who voted in favor of cloture on Alito is worth voting for. Again, I don't give a shit what letter comes after their name.

3) Must oppose the Patriot Act. Voting in favor of cloture on the PAtriot Act is to support the PAtriot Act in my opinion. Sorry, can't accept anybody who is in favor of this disgusting stripping of human rights from the people regardless of the letter after their name.

4) Cannot oppose equal rights for all people. DOMA or similar legislation is in direct opposition to equal rights. I cannot support anybody who would support granting some rights to one group of people and deny those same rights to another group of people, I don't care what letter comes after their name.

These are the issues I DEMAND ideological purity on and will accept no substitute. If I have no candidate in a race who is 100% in line with my beliefs on the above listed issues, I will cast no vote in that race.

I've found becoming Independent to be incredibly liberating.
