That remains to be seen. We'll have to wait for the official document to pop up on the FEC site to be sure. But, even then...

He is on record as strongly supporting judges like Alito and Roberts, so although his views on certain social issues are not going to make conservatives tingly inside, he does subscribe to appointing the right type of judges to the bench where there seems to be more power in shaping social issues.
Very helpful chart, Spiff. Thanks.
I'm looking for someone who would:
a) uphold traditional morality (against abortion and homosexuality),
b) be strong on national defense and security (against terrorism and illegal immigration), and
c) want to reduce the size, scope, and spending of Big Government (against federal involvement in health, education, and other powers not delegated to it)
In other words, things the Republican Party USED to stand for, as recently as 12-15 years ago. Is there anyone like that anymore?
Well, will you look at that???????
Thanks for that chart, Spiff! Rather depressing!
I just love that chart you came up with!!!
LOL. WHo made that misleading chart? You?
Yeah. It's Alice in Wonderland if the GOP supports this guy.
The United States has been sliding further into socialism ever since Reagan left office. The Democrat Party might just as well change its name to the National Socialist Party, and most Republicans are really fake capitalists. Congress continues to think it knows best by setting a higher minimum wage, seemingly oblivious to the fact that we have the world's strongest economy precisely because it is based on free markets. What will the National Socialists and the so-called Republicans think of next, a federal maximum charge to repair a leaky faucet? How about a maximum doctor fee for the flu? President Bush demonstrated his own ignorance or mental weakness this week by bemoaning the fact that we have "income inequality". Memo to the President: that's how capitalism works. If the Marxist-Leninist day comes when we are all "equal" in outcomes, then we will all be slaves to the state. Capitalism, freedom, and the United States will be dead.
Thank you so much for this platform comparrison.... How does Duncan Hunter square up on that chart?? Anyone?
Love that new color-coded chart. So why is the Rudi running as a Republican anyway?
great job on the issues. Why is this guy a Republican? I guess because our party got hijacked. You can't make up what a baby killing liberal this guy is.
