Well, here are my personal beliefs. I am pro (heterosexual) marriage, pro life, pro limited government, pro law enforcement, pro military, and pro gun just for starters. Any of those deal breakers?

Well let's review that short list of yours:

Pro (heterosexual) marriage. And yet you apparently have no problem with Cindy and Meghan McCain promoting homosexual marriage and we must assume, neither does Sarah Palin. Does that not smack of hypocrisy?

Pro Life. How then do you square your pro-life beliefs with McCain's statement “In the short term, or even the long term, I would not support repeal of Roe v. Wade”?

Pro Limited Government. John McCain supported the largest expansion of the federal government in history during the GWB years, McCain has become part of the problem of ever increasing government reach, to the detriment of the individual States. He attempted to extend government power of censorship over political speech with the now fatally wounded McCain-Feingold, that is NOT what conservatives call 'pro limited government'.

Pro Law Enforcement. Nice try. Being 'pro' law enforcement is like being 'pro' breathing of oxygen. Very few conservatives are 'anti' law enforcement, although MANY conservatives are unafraid to criticize law enforcement when appropriate and to hold them accountable when our civil rights guaranteed by the Constitution are steamrollered by overzealous badge-bullies. So which are you, a police rubber stamp believing they can do no wrong, or a critical thinker regarding police behavior and MISbehavior? We'll wait while you consult Sarah's position on the topic.

Pro military. Another no-brainer position. But what is your view on the role of our military when it comes to nation building, entering combat without a formal declaration of war, serving under the flag of the abominable U.N. instead of the Stars & Stripes, there is much more to it than just saying you're "pro-military".

Pro gun. I have yet to meet any conservative, let alone any FReeper who is "anti-gun". You are preaching to the choir.

As for "deal breakers", stating that a liberal RINO is NOT a liberal RINO pretty much shortens your shelf life by a considerable margin. No backing away from that one.
