Three of the Republican presidential contenders -- Mike Huckabee, Ron Paul, and Tom Tancredo -- show promise as individuals who are largely devoted to limited government, individual rights, and sound policy.Each of them has numerous issues where their principled stances will appeal to the conservative voter base of the Republican Party. Each also has some ideas which I find flawed. To educate voters and lead to the most informed possible choices, here is an analysis of some of these three candidates' positions.

Even Ron Paul, Huckabee, and Tancredo’s, bad points {which aren’t that serious overall} look real good when compared to those of Rudy, Mitt, John, and even Fred. The GOP can’t say it dosen’t have good conservatives running. The question is when is the party going to stop backing liberals and start pushing these three instead?

I am not surprised by the connection between Ron Paul and Ronald Reagan. Of all the Republican candidates, I think Paul is the closest to Reagan in his ideas. Thank you for sharing.
