Uh. I didn't ask about bogus polls taken EARLY in the election cycle about a candidate whose history and philosophies have been relatively little known.

I asked about a plain statement of conservative philosphy and the social views of said candidate.

It seems that here on FR, every poll is bogus...as long as it doesn't say what the poster wants it to say. Given that however, I can easily recognize that his early lead will certainly give way to other realistic candidates as the months go by, since history shows that most early leaders tend to falter. It's a long time until the California primary in February, but he seems right now to be collecting money like no other can.

As for where he stands on the conservative and social issues, I also want to know how he will protect the Constitution and BOR. But if you are looking for him, or any other candidate for that matter to denounce atheists, homosexuals, women's rights activists, you've got a long wait. Nor do I care what the hell he thinks about abortion, since it will ultimately be resolved in the courts, and hopefully sent back to the states where it belongs. I don't care a whit about stem cell research issues, creationism, prayer in schools, constitutional amendments to take powers away from the states, the Ten Commandments, or any of the other major concerns of the social right.

As for what he would be elected to do, I would be concerned with how far he would go with gun control, though all of the candidates likely have some reasonable restrictions they would approve of; I would want to know how he will further improve the security of this Nation, continue with the war on terror, his policies on taxes and tax reform, his plans for immigration reform, social security reform, energy independence, control of the federal budget including deficit elimination, trade policies, elimination or reduction of federal programs that cannot substantiate their value, and/or should be sent back to the states.

As for the statement of policy of Free Republic, you will find few here who support every piece of that. It's a good discussion area, but I have my own value system, and do not need any website telling me how to judge the candidate I plan to vote for. Hope that helps.
