Not true. Explore a bit more. He's by far the most socially conservative candidate in the race.
From his website:
Honoring the Sanctity of Life
“Throughout the world, the protection of individual rights is the proud and identifying mark of the American character. This should also include the unborn child. They deserve the opportunity for a chance in life and to make their mark in the ongoing human effort to make the world a better place. A nation that can spend millions of dollars searching for life on other planets should be able to discern life in the beating heart of an unborn child.”
Protecting our Children from Predators
“Our children deserve to grow up safe and protected from anybody who seeks to do them harm. Childhood is a wonderful time for kids to grow and learn about who they are and who they want to be, they should not be worried about looking over their shoulder or being sought after on the internet. Predators should be prevented any opportunity from making contact with our children and prosecuted to the fullest extent of the law and parents should be given all resources available to keep their kids safe.”
Defending the Institution of Marriage
“Marriage is one of the most important institutions we have, central to promoting family values and raising children in a healthy environment. The unique influence offered by both a father and a mother on a child cannot be duplicated and should be protected from any effort that would broaden its definition beyond the unity of one man with one woman.”
Preserving America’s Religious Heritage
“Our religious founding is an important, if not the most important, aspect of our American heritage. It is a disservice when liberal, activist groups and judges like the American Civil Liberties Union and California’s 9th Circuit of Appeals wage a relentless battle to remove any mention of God from public life in America and these efforts need to be challenged. It is for this reason that as Chairman of the House Armed Services Committee I worked to successfully defend our military chaplains and preserve their right to pray without fear of censorship by military commanders. “Under God” in our Pledge of Allegiance, “In God We Trust” on our currency, the Ten Commandments in our courthouses, memorials like the Mt. Soledad Memorial in San Diego, reminds us and future generations of our history, reveals our character as a people and inspires those throughout the world the opportunity that exists through religious freedom.”
That's a bit short-sighted, don't you think? I get impatient too, but there's time to zero in on it. Sheesh, I got a McCain 'presidential questionnaire' that was nothing more than telling me his agendas, not really asking mine at all.
It's in the garbage now.
See post 22
That's beautiful, thank you.
Perhaps I was wrong. Perhaps it's not too soon to decide.
Yes. 1880 was the last time. But mayor has NEVER done so.
For everybody that says conservatives lost on 11/7 because the Republicans swung to far left Hunter is the answer. Now is the time the try to turn the party back to the right. I really believe that the US yearns for a strong conservative LEADER!
Leadership wins wars.
p.s. I'm quinbygeorge on youtube. That's my post! I put it that post all over youtube, on hillary's stuff, on obamas vids, on McCains, all over the place!!
GO HUNTER!!!!
BS. Have faith.
Too bad Arizon isn't a country cuz it's the only place that Hunter will win.
Good work, sir!
I am sick of people with charisma. I want honor and doing the right thing.
Nope.
Well Jimma Carter and Bubba didn't have names.
McPain is useful as a senator, but as President? No Way!
Been reading all the Posts on Duncan. He will make a good canidate.
Well, you don't have to participate, but there are plenty of us that will foist him into national prominence.
I don't know. But that does not matter at all. Voters are not as stupid as either party powers-that-be think. They may not be as bright as they ought to be (can be suckered), but they are smarter than the power-players, who think they can do the picking for everyone before even one vote has been cast. Republicans will vote for a dog catcher who holds their values long before they will vote for a phony -- a liberal cross-dressing as a conservative -- who has so-called "star power." Politicians don't have star-power anyway, except maybe in their own minds. Actors have star-power. They don't deserve it, but they do. Politicians can only hope to have somewhat low negatives.
