Wanted: More Conservative U.S. Senators

All the races for U.S. Senator this year are important. It is essential that more conservative Senators be elected. We are facing the distinct possibility that one more Supreme Court Justice appointment may be necessary. There is important legislation to passed, which needs every conservative vote that can be mustered. Key legislation keeping the necessary funding to pursue the war on terror in Iraq and to effectively solving the on-going illegal alien invasion problem.

The best way to deal with the issues above is to elect on strong conservatives or the candidate who most leans to the conservative side of moderate, Above all, it is most important to elect persons who possess and have proven that they will act on their conservative principles.

In a previous AGC article we wrote about the four key U.S. Senate races including Maryland, Ohio, Pennsylvania, and Virginia. Out of that group George Allen (VA), Rick Santorum (PA) and Michael Steele (MD) seem to fit the bill as strong conservatives. Mike DeWine is a mostly moderate who mostly leans conservative on several key social issues.

The Faith2Action Voter Guide identifies several other key races of national interest. Among these are senate races in Arizona, Michigan Missouri and Tennessee.

It is a Jon KylJim Pederson race in Arizona. Jim Pederson is a liberal who supports abortion on demand, supports and favors homosexual and lesbian unions. His opponent is a strong conservative and incumbent Senator Jon Kyl is pro-life and pro-traditional one-man, one woman marriage.

In Missouri, where I lived for several years, Senator Jim Talent is running against Claire McCaskill. Senator Talent is an advocate for life, he voted to ban partial birth abortions and against funding of embryonic stem cell research. He seems to me a moderate leaning conservative, similar to Mike DeWine. Like Sherrod Brown in Ohio, Claire McCaskill is a liberal.

Contending to fill Senator Bill Frist’s U.S. Senate seat in Tennessee are Bob Corker, Moderate Conservative and Harold Ford, a Moderate Liberal. Corker’s positions on abortion and protection of traditional marriage seem to be stronger than Ford’s.

Mike Bouchard faces incumbent Senator Debbie Stabenow in Michigan. Senator Stabenow is a liberal who strongly supports abortion on demand and does not support the protection of exclusive one-man, one-woman traditional marriage. Mike Bouchard opposes abortion and is against homosexual or lesbian “marriage”.

To me the electorates in Arizona, Tennessee, Missouri and Michigan would be making A Good Choice if they were to elect those people, who would likely vote conservative, like Jon Kyl, Jim Talent, Bob Corker and Mike Bouchard.
