Even though Bush is Pro-life, he wants to strongly increase adoption in ways like tax credits to families who adopt and better priviliges to foster children. Bush seems to know what he stands for and where he stands on the issues. Al Gore seems to avoid answering important questions. I also like Bush's tax reform better. Al Gore wants to raise taxes for the rich and I am against that.
Education is of course a big issue too.
I think Bush has a clearer concept of what he wants to do, and more means to do it. I think Gore plans to spend billions of dollars to improve schools but does not really have the funding to do it all. We may run into trouble if Gore does what he says he will. Overall, I do not fully agree with either candidate, but I think I trust Bush more with my money, national education, and childrens' saftey.
