Those who don’t follow the party platform have no business running for the republican nomination.

Certainly a candidate that does not respect the sanctity of life should not have support among the CONSERVATIVE base of the GOP....nor should anyone who supported Clinton’s AWB. That rules out Rudy & Mitt - they each have many reasons I cannot support them as a GOP nominee - but those are two of the main issues I weigh a candidate by.

While Huckabee is great on life issues (putting aside his tax-n-spend policies from Arkansas), he’s pushing for more nanny-state big-government and also a pro-SHamnesty candidate like McCain.

McCain also wanted Geneva Convention rights to terrorists and whines about how GITMO “looks in the eyes of the world”. Although I value military service in our next President, that’s not an example of a leader that I am looking for. Nor is someone who’s adopted the CUT & RUN, blame-America first policies of the DUmocrats...so I won’t support Ron Paul, plus he’s just too damn whiney.

With WOT issues, it’s as Tom Tancredo said in one of the debates: “the next President needs to be someone that al queda ABSOLUTELY FEARS”....that is why I support Duncan Hunter (and Tancredo as his running mate).

Thompson would be my 3rd choice, but I don’t support his idea of “aspirations of citizenship” for those who have broken the law (also known as FELONS), his stance on McCain-Feingold, or his votes in favor of MOST FAVORED NATION trade status for communist countries (China & Vietnam).

See this thread for his stance on immigration.
