It appears to me that all of the Republican candidates are trying to be further right than the others.
Iowa Straw Poll: A carnival that kills campaigns - Political Hotsheet - CBS NewsI think that all of the Republican candidates this year are each trying to appeal to the so-called Christians who believe in these precepts:
1. Believe strongly that torture, the death penalty, destroying our environment and carrying guns is the Christian thing to do.
2. Put blacks, Latinos and gays "in their place," and do not help the poor, disabled, elderly, or disadvantaged children.
3. Eliminate abortion and birth control because their bizarre religion thinks that releasing God's souls into the world, and that God will solve overpopulation for us.
Somehow, I think that there is a very small group within the US that agrees with all of the above. If the Republican party really wants to select a good candidate, they should look for a moderate that doesn't espouse most of those opinions and alienate so much of the general US public. Then they willhave a chance at getting a good percentage of the moderate Republicans who do not believe all of those precepts.
