Duncan Hunter - 73 match Congratulations! You and Duncan Hunter are socially conservative nativists! Hunter is a conservative Republican Congressman from California who is big on unborn babies but not immigrants. He best known in congress for his prominent role in constructing a 14-mile double fence along the US-Mex border and introducing the Right to Life Act, which would give constitutional rights to anything that develops after the moment of conception. Unlike many Republicans, he opposes free trade because he says it poses a threat to American manufacturing and creates a huge trade deficit. To discourage trade, he has proposed a law that allows American companies to use "exchange-rate manipulation" as an excuse to receive protection under America's trade laws. Hunter couldn't convince get enough people he wasn't totally insane and and he dropped out of the presidential race after poor results in the Nevada Republican caucuses. |

Tom Tancredo - 67 match You must be REALLY concerned with immigration, just like Tom Tancredo. You'll have to find another right-winger, because your top match dropped out in December of 2007. As stated, Tancredois almost obsessively preoccupied with the issue of immigration (illegal or not) and wants more than just fences and laws to keep out foreign workers. He also opposes birth-right citizenship and wants to deploy American troops along the US-Mex border. But aside from immigration, Tancredero has advocated for bombing Mecca to get back at Islamic terrorists, formally called for the elimination of public schools, and resists the President Bush's big-government agenda. You might like him, but his own party thinks he's a disaster- Tom DeLay told him that 'you cannot think of making a career in [Congress]' and even Karl Rove told him that he would never 'darken the doorstep of the White House' again. |

Mike Huckabee - 64 match Mike Huckabee is a socially conservative Governor of Arkansas who was recognized as one of America's best governors by Time magazine. He was instrumental in providing health insurance for more than 70,000 uninsured children but conservatives resent the 5 tax increases he supported during his tenure (though one was court-ordered) and his endorsement for legal and illegal foreign workers. As a Southern Baptist minister he abhors abortion and same-sex marriage/unions and advocates for allowing public schools to teach Creationism and Intelligent Design. The death penalty, the War in Iraq, the troop surge, and the operation of the Guantanamo Bay detention camp all receive Huckabee's continued support. |
