Behnke advocates:


Using the US military to assist the Border Patrol in keeping drugs, terrorists and illegal immigrants from entering the country.
Disagree:
Drug use is bad; the War On Drugs is worse.

Withdrawing American troops from Bosnia and Kosovo.
Agree:
US should have (volunteer) troops stationed only within the confines of our borders.

Supporting the Second Amendment "without reservation." This amendment concerns "the right to bear arms."
Agree:
We should be able to defend ourselves against our greatest threat: our own government.

Supporting traditional family values and the Boy Scouts in their moral leadership goals.
Disagree:
When is it government's business to support private organizations?

Supporting the "Right to Life"
(read Psalm 139, v.13-16.)
Disagree:
I am 100% pro-life, anti-abortion. But it ain't government's business.

Eliminating the "off-set" to the military widow's retirement plan. Since your husband paid hefty premiums each month to insure you, you ought to receive the full benefit.
Disagree:
It isn't government's business to provide "retirement plans".

Increasing Social Security benefits by distributing potential surplus funds, should there be any, among current recipients.
Disagree:
Social Security, ANOTHER gubment boondoggle, should be eliminated.

Conclusion:
Behnke doesn't get my vote.

Your points are well taken, however you're wrong on some of the issues and Behnke's precise position. Although, his website could be better in explaining his views.

That being said, I know that Behnke is not the perfect conservative. However, Kolbe is far far FAR worse. In the Republican Primary the most conservative choice is Behnke. I mean, if it was a crime to be a conservative, Kolbe's charges would be dropped for lack of evidence.
