ering view to Mr. Bush. Mr. Dukakis believes that rehabilitating and building new housing for low-income families is the best way. He thinks the McKinney bill simply wont do and it's going to take a president who's committed to housing, who's had experience in building and rehabilitating housing, who understands that affordable housing for families of low and moderate income, for young families, first time home buyers, is an essential part of the American dream. Two major issues both candidates disagreed on were the death penalty and abortion. Mr. Dukakis says that its unjust to take a mans life and we need to find ways to rehabilitate the person, so he may once more lead a normal life. But he also says, although he dislikes abortion, I think it has to be the woman, in the exercise of her own conscience and religious beliefs, that makes that decision. Mr. Bush later clearly states that hes for the death penalty because hes not going to let a man live who comes intoxicated and kills a police officer. Mr. Bush also points out that he is against abortion. He thinks that instead of killing millions of babies, they should be given to families who will give them the love they deserve. I'm for the sanctity of life, and once that illegality is established, then we can come to grips with the penalty side, and of course there's got to be some penalties to enforce the law, whatever they may be. Another major debate was an environmentalist issue. Mr. Bush says very clearly that hes for clean water. He says hes an environmentalist and is for clean parks. But Mr. Dukakis lashes against him by saying that it was because of him that Boston harbor was polluted for four years and he did everything to kill the clean water act.The final major issue that was discussed in the debate was foreign policy. Mr. Dukakis states I think that's one reason why we need fresh leadership in the White House that can make progress now in bringing peace to the Middle East...
