1. Did you support President Bush's decision to invade Iraq in 2003?
If yes, and knowing what you know today, would you change your answer?
Absolutely not. There are no WMDs, Iraq had no connection to the attacks on 9/11 (though if you believe the ideas set forth in the Loose Change 
video, the attacks were staged events), and our soldiers are dying over there while companies like Halliburton are enriched by government contracts and oil profits.
2. Do you think this Administration deliberately overstated the threat
posed by Saddam in 2002 in making its claim to Congress? (ref. Gulf
of Tonkin resolution, 1964).
If "overstated" can also be interpreted as "lied," then yes.
3. Almost as many people were killed by Katrina as were killed in 9/11. Do
you think the reaction of this Administration has been even-handed to
these two events? If not, why not?
More people were killed in Katrina. More people were affected by Katrina. The economic and social impact of that hurricane will be felt for decades. The reaction to Katrina was abysmal and embarrassing.
4. Do you think the enmasse wiretapping of phonecalls of American citizens
by the Administration that has been revealed recently was illegal?
Yes. We have laws. This administration should use them.
5. Do you think gays should have the right to marry?
I think all people should have the ability to marry and have that union be recognized by state legal authority. If a church doesn't want to recognize a marriage, so be it - those are cultural traditions that the state does not have the right to mess with. 2 guys or 2 gals getting married won't affect my marriage, so leave them be.
6. Do you support a woman's right to unhindered access to abortion?
Of course. I think of it as the right to get medical treatment. See a definition of the pro-life movement at "[dict]hypocrisy[/dict]"
7. Do you support the idea of mandatory prayer in schools? If yes, would you
support a Muslim Imam leading the prayers in your child(ren)'s school?
No, unless it's a religious school.
8. Do you support the right of a person to grow a little bit of pot in
his/her home and consume it as s/he sees it fit? Assume the same
laws about DUI, DWI, etc. apply.
Eh - pot is less destructive than alcohol or hard drug abuse. I'd say it could be grown for personal medicinal use - once you start to sell it to others, go to jail or pay a fine.
9. Do you support the idea of a national healthcare system? Why, or why not?
Yes. Lack of health insurance is a leading cause of bankruptcy. I'd say to make the same health care plan that our illustrious congress critters have available to all Americans.
10.For self-identified Democrats/Republicans/Libertarians/Greens alike:
would your answers to any of the questions 1-4 above be different if
the President was (or was not, if you're Republican) from your party?
If yes, which ones and why?
I'm not registered in a political party. Corrupt politicians are endemic to all political parties, and the individuals in office do not affect my personal political opinions.
It is indeed an english springer spaniel. Abby will be a year old in May.
Those pictures are absolutely adorable. On a cuteness scale of 1-10, that dog is a 9.9. My dog is a 10, but of course I'm biased too.

Are our two dogs siblings? Seriously, my dog lays on her back just like Scout, and I can only imagine that some of their other behaviors (heart-achingly cuteness all day long, constant cuddling, sweet little nudges) are similar.
Is that your puppy in your usericon?
Is that a Springer Spaniel?
My sister has an English Springer Spaniel

BTW I was sitting at your table at the Geek Meet. And 3created's website has been down continuously since before the Geekmeet which is, quite frankly, awesome. It looks better when it doesn't resolve, not to be uncharitable.
