- Terrorism: Bad
- Democracy: Good
- Unrelatedly, Hamas should stop blowing stuff up
- Support our troops
- Strong ecomony: Good
- Government waste: Bad
- Doing something about social security and medicare costs, which constitute over 60% of the budget, might be a good idea.
- We should talk about that. We'll even include the Democrats. At least, you know, in the talking part. Probably not in the doing stuff part though.
- Secure the border
- Expensive healthcare: Bad
- We use oil. God put all the oil underneath mean people. This seems bad.
- Corn is good.
- I had this dream where we had magical cars that ran, not on oil, but on dreams. Wouldn't that be cool?
- Math and Science: Good
- Funding basic science seems like a good idea. Maybe we shouldn't have cut all that research spending. To be fair, we had to make a token effort to make it look like we were paying for the tax cuts.
- Being nice: Good.
- Yay Sandra Day O'Connor.
- Life: Good.
- Ethics: Good.
- Staying in school: Good.
- Rebuilding Gulf Coast: Good.
- HIV: Bad.
- Americans: Good.
The only really controversial things he's said are:
- Immigrants: necessary
- The tax cuts that we made temporary so that it wouldn't explode budget estimates should (surprise!) be made permanent
- We will cut the deficit in half by 2009. Somehow. We didn't tell you before, but we have a magic powder that will do this that we got from a pixie.
- We're helping the poor and sick. No, really, I swear. Just don't ask me for evidence of it.
- Your doctor's bill and prescriptions are expensive because your doctor gets sued a lot.
- Teenagers are having fewer abortions because we told them not to have sex.
- People spend a lot of time worrying about courts that don't tell gay people God hates them.
- 'Member how I put two new members on the Supreme Court? That was cool.
- I like my wife. You should let her do stuff.
- Church groups who have never dealt with AIDS education seem the best people to deal with the problem, don't you think? They seem to have a firm grasp on reality, I've found.
- I'm like MLK.
Curious to see if the rebuttal will say anything more substantial. If I had to guess, I'd go with "no."
