Conservative Leader Urges Dumping of McCain, Giuliani & Romney
According to Agape Press, conservative author and talk show host Janet Folger of the group Faith 2 Action believes GOP presidential candidates Giuliani, McCain and Romney are "Republicans in name only."Folger calls Giuliani "completely unacceptable," describing him as pro-abortion and "anti-marriage."
McCain, she says is "disqualified" for "leading the 'gang of 14" who stood in the way of breaking the judicial filibuster. He also "voted against the federal marriage amendment [and] he just sued Wisconsin Right to Life, taking them to court because they had the audacity to suggest that people lobby Congress, and it was during one of those federally mandated gag rules.
Folger says she is "especially troubled" by Romney who "suddenly and conveniently switched from being an ardent, hardcore pro-abort." In actuality Romney is "extreme," as he "not only wants abortion -- he wants you to pay for it with your tax dollars." And that is exactly what the candidate's healthcare plan said, she points out, "even after his supposed conversion." Romney also "mandated marriage licenses to homosexual couples even after his supposed pro-marriage conversion."
Instead of looking at name-only Republican presidential hopefuls, she argues, conservatives need to take a closer look at candidates like ... Mike Huckabee, among others.
