but if you try some time, you just might find, you get what you need."
- Rolling Stones (I believe that song should be piped into school classrooms every morning)

No political party is going to fit everyone's wish list. In the end, you have to look at the party's platform and see which one comes the closest.

Tort reform will never come from the Democrats because the Trial Lawyers are some of their biggest contributors.

Abortion is only an issue with some Republicans, just as for the Democrats. It isn't going away, but perhaps some of the more controversial issues like Partial Birth and parental notification will be addressed.

As for the other topics you raised, see which party comes the closest and go with them. You just might find you get what you need.
