sdelange - funny you should ask - I just a few minutes ago answered a young man at MySpace this way -
First, probably only Hunter and Huckabee – Huckabee the sole name, btw, for whom MS Word has no online dictionary entry (until I added it) – are the rock-solid pro-life candidates. That said, and that no other right, privilege, policy, issue, etc., measures an ounce of an ounce without life, I have but these two who are viable to me, right now. McCain comes close, so I’ll keep him in for the time being. ~~
Giuliani is just a New York minute’s convenience item, with his life and Second-Amendment (and peronal marriage and family) issues so wrong. ~~
Tancredo is a mystery beyond border-control and illegal-entrants issues. ~~
Romney seems to have flip-flopper written on him. But, too, is he going to be driven by the latest ‘revelation’ from the Twelve Apostles of Mormonism, should they contradict what is best for America? I don’t think he can be: 1. honest, if he says he would deny his religion’s leaders’ “commanding” influence, or 2. reasonable and acceptable, if he would seek to obey them. ~~
Thompson is really not interested in the job, frankly. He is running one very lame campaign. ~~
Finally, Paul gives me the willies – and, not just about the war on terror within which we are likely to be engulfed for decades. I just don’t trust him. In and out of D.C. for over thirty years, he wants to act as if he is an ‘outsider’, simply because he claims ‘sole’ ‘constitutionalism', and "my career ain’t like THEIR careers". Ick! ~~
Now – make sure to vote in your area’s primary, to have your fullest voice. Else, November may look grim for options.
Permit me to add here that Huckabee is pro-life BUT a liberal-like spender. Hunter is the most completely conservative candidate, on both life and fiscal issues; and has the name recognition of Ish Kabibble.
I do have to think that McCain would be the best overall, once in the Oval Office. He also would contrast against Hill-bama best in the election drive. McCain would mind conservative issues while he concentrated on setting us up for high security against terror. He would find himself forced to close the borders, no matter what he'd prefer. He would tighten up spending - veto with power! - to free more money to defense. Importantly, he would be beholden to pro-life in all its splendor for having been the critical bloc that voted him in. He'd be tough in a floor fight in the Senate over a strict-Constitutional-construction judge for SCOTUS. He would make his nominees play all pro-life questions close to their chests as possible. The Senate can force no nominee to 'judge' any case before it came before the court.
Leaning: McCain

Re: P.S.'s post:
Primary candidates here are what the party advances, no write-in allowed. This bind shows that we need to get active long before the electioneering begins if we really want to have a chance to influence matters.
Anent Ron Paul. Someone wrote in to a paper I read that he is pro-life more than any other candidate as he's actually delivered babies. A peculiar argument, in any case, but is it true, I mean is he an obstetrician?

Yes, he has been an obstetrician - better had he stayed one!
Now, he is more obscurantist :)

pouliot,

I couldn't agree more. This notion that we are helpless to the political machines that run our country is absurd and is the work of these machines to keep us thinking that it doesn't really matter. It is our responsibility to have an effect on every life that we come into contact with. Positively influencing men and women to understand the One True authority in their life and the necessity to encourage men and women who are God-fearing to take up the torch of public service and pass it on when their term is up. The way it was and is supposed to now, people in service to eachother, not government in service to itself. This is why we will collapse as a nation; for a lack of understanding that the people in government have made entitlements for themselves instead of being the trustees of life, liberty and the pursuit of happiness for all.
Really, people, when are we going to stop the insanity and wrest back this government by the people for the people from those that desire it to be in service to themselves?
In Christ,
Remember, the Sun is always shining!

If any is interested, I placed a blog on MySpace (yes, I know: EEYYeeWWWW!; but, a little mission of mine) relative to how Advent (the season when God finally took my salvation in tow for me) and religious faith fits with the ways of all leadership on earth.
No, you won’t be able to ‘comment’ unless you join MySpace (EEYYeeWWWW!) and become my ‘Friend’ – a term on MySpace (EEYYeeWWWW!) that is highly indicative of the relativism of this world. Up to you – the pollution there is really quite shallow, if you get my drift.
Here’s the link.
