I believe I am a strong conservative, but am conflicted with this. What do you guys think?

I'm in near complete agreement with you, including some consumer safety measures. For example, I do not want my grandbabies chewing on toys painted with lead. I am against the death penalty. I have always been against the death penalty yet I've voted for every Republican since Reagan. Carter is the reason I kicked the Democratic Party to the curb, and I've never been sorry.
