Ending the war against Iraq, permanently and completely.

Significantly reforming U.S. foreign policy.

Curtailing corporate personhood, or at least limiting corporate "rights."

Putting environmental protection BEFORE business interests.

Significantly cutting the DoD budget, say, to about one-third of it's current level.

Single payer health reform.

A living wage for all American workers-- not a minimum wage, but a living wage.

A significant national investment in energy conservation and research.

Honesty about the "war on terror."

Withdrawal from the WTO and NAFTA.

Abandonment of the prison at Guantanamo Bay and repudiation of U.S. tactics there and at secret prisons.


The list goes on. As for your questions "what about someone who supports some, but not all? What if the support a few, out not most?", that would depend on the alternatives. If there is another candidate that is a better match, then that's the candidate I'll likely support. I'll support a candidate that is good on a FEW issues if there aren't any alternatives, but if candidate X is good on 10 percent and candate Y on 90 percent, then that's a no brainer, IMO.
