What are the things that, if a politician / political party supports them (or doesn't), will cause you to simply refuse to vote for them?
Personally, I will refuse to vote for any candidate that:
* Supports abortion past the first trimester.
* Supports any form of media censorship or restrictions on free speech.
* Opposes same sex marriage.
* Opposes gun rights. (I am in favor of greater restrictions on the requirements to purchase a gun, but not an outright ban on guns.)
* Seeks to curtail our civil liberties. All private citizens should be allowed to conduct their lives in the manner of their choosing, so long as they are not harming anyone else.
