WIll Ron Paul Be The Candidate Of The Christian Right?

[Justinjj1]

I just found that clip, haven't seen it in a while. I love Doocey's stuttering reaction at the end.

YouTube - Ron Paul on Fox & Friends (PT.1of2) 12-18-07

Exactly!

Which is why this is such a horrible idea. Dr Paul tried to court the Christian right last time and as to abortion in particular, he went on about his personal views at length than mentioned thet the fed gvmt shouldn't be involved as an an afterthought. We lost TONS of Dem and Independent support because of it.

Don't to that again!

If I am running for President , my personal view on gay marriage is irrelevent , state issue . My personal view on Gays in the military is irrelevent, I am leaving that to the professional military commanders to determine what is best for them,my personal view on abortion is irrelevant , state issue .

 

[oyarde]

I am available for staff work , maybe .

 

[oyarde]

Those three issues are the big three dividers. They are irrelevent.There is a process in place for them where it should be .

Um. You need to brush up on your history bro. Conservatives used to champion Federalism. Conservative Christians used to want the Federal government OUT of schools, out of their religious life, etc.

the huge Israel worshipping element of the "Christian Right" will never accept him....

This. Unfortunately, many neo-conservatives are driven by the belief that Jewish people are "God's chosen people," and that we must protect Israel in order to recieve God's blessing.

Many Christians will and have already embraced him. The mainstream Christian right will not however. They enjoy trying to legislate and enforce their values on others too much.

The right including the Republicans and Tea Party IS the mainstream. Look at all the Tea Party candidates from Angle to Rubio to Rand Paul. They are all social conservatives. The Christian right is possibly the largest voting block in the nation comprising of 25% of the populace.

Many Christians have embraced him, however, will the LEADERS of the religious right embrace. That is who the Christians take their orders from.

If Ron Paul can get his record out, he will have a chance. If not, Huckabee will take the cake. Many Christians/Republicans in general think RP is pro-choice.

You can dodge the question and say it is a state's issue, but in time you will be forced to take a stance on it. Many voters want to know up front where you stand on it, either yes or no. That is the reality of it.

I would say " it is not something I would personally do , but it is up to the states"

I notice this too. If he runs again he should make his pro-life stance a bigger issue.

That's right!

I do not know , each social conservative you pick up there , you could lose an independant .

 

[oyarde]

Yeah. Ron needs to pander to the huge atheist voting block in the Republican Party.

I am unaware of this huge block ?
