My opinion on the GOP race

Huckabee:

Pros: Christian.
Cons: Christian class warfare populist with big spending tendencies and soft on immigration.  “Bush III”.

 

Giuliani:   

Pros: cleaned up New York, handled 911 well,  

Cons: soft on guns, former Democrat,  dumped his second wife on TV.  Although social conservatism is not my top priority, I think Rudy lacks the charcter I am looking for in a President.

 

McCain:

Pros: Moderate popular with Independent voters may be appealing in General election

Cons: Long Senate career of undermining conservative principles.  Supported 2007 amnesty bill vociferously. 

 

Romney:

Pros: Proven business leader.  Smart and articulate guy. 
Cons:  RINO tendencies when Governor of Mass. 

 

Fred Thompson:

Pros:  Smart, articulate speaker with a powerful presence.   Will bring conservative principals to economic policy while protecting our nation.    Offers specific plans to back his rhetoric.   Socially conservative and strong gun rights advocate.
