Gore led the fight in the Congress to stop the drug companies' price gouging, and make generic drugs more available. As President, He plans to address issues like the Patients rights bill, that puts important medical descisions in the hands of the docotr, rather than the HMO's.

Gore supports cutting tax rates, something also Clinton promised, but found very difficult to do. He doesn't support the replacement of the current tax structure with a flat income tax, therefore eliminating the entire income tax sytem.

When it comes to the gays in the military issue, McCain says that he would make sure that a policy that's working, and is working, and should work, is continued. He believes that when people like General Colin Powell and other most respected men in America come up with a policy that does work - it can have troubles with it, it may need some reviews or changes, fine tuning, and he'll support such a thing. However, he will not change a policy that's working. "Our military leaders are the ones whose advice we should rely on."

Keyes is very open on the discussion of gays in the military. He said at one debate that he does not support the "Don't Ask, Don't Tell" policy because the military is supposed to be a straight (no pun intnended) forward institution, where when asked, the soldier tells, "get the truth, get honesty, get honor." So in order for honor to be received, then gays should be forward about their sexuality. If that means bad morale, bad discipline, then the government should stand against it because its bad for the military in general. He supports the ban on gays in the military completely.

Bill Bradley, the suposed "under-dog" in the race, is also a Democratic candidate with views that could be confused with those of a Liberal.

He supports a ban on soft money, as long as the Republican Party agrees as well.
