His web site still fails to mention any issues but the 3 he's all about. He offers nothing to the Social Conservatives who care about life and family issues. At this point, he's had plenty of time to develop a well-rounded agenda, and has chosen NOT to. Cross him off my list for good!
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.
