Who would be the most likely Republican candidate to be the most Constitutional?

I saw on Fox News a speech Newt Gingrich made and at the bottom of the screen was written about how he would be the best to decisively debate Obama. Who cares who could decisively debate Obama? We need the one that would be the most Constitutional.

A lot will depend on who is asking the questions. With the MSM more than likely asking the questions you can be sure that questions about Obama Care will not be asked. While the Republicans will be hammered on Women's Reproductive Rights.

That is why Gingrich is calling for unmoderated debates in the Lincoln-Douglas style. And I think even if a liberal were moderating, Gingrich could knock them down a peg or two.

I think Gingrich feels he could decisively debate Obama because he can change his positions on a dime (or for a dime) to suit the situation.

Yes, we do. But what would THAT matter if he could NOT beat Obama?

Who cares who can debate Obama or who might be more constitutional. The supreme court is there to override all the unconstitutional garbage passed by congress. Judging from recent legislation they'll be hearing some cases soon. None of the Republican runners are worth anything, Sanatorium is too far right to win a single swing state. Gingrich is just an overly rich idiot, who has no place running for presidency. Romney is the only one with a shot just because he hasn't gotten too much attention either way.

Can you give me some details, some reasons for those opinions?

Have you heard from Santorum himself that he is against teaching science in school, or is this a bias on your part against conservative Christians? I love science, I read a lot on the subject, but I am also a conservative Christian. I express my faith quite often, and the reasons for it. But I am capable of understanding that science is science as well. I don't doubt the facts, just the interpretation of those facts. lol Was it Kennedy's speech itself or Santorum's interpretation of it? The way I saw it, Kennedy was merely reassuring the American public that he would be president, not the Pope. lol Santorum made the point that EVERYONE has a world view that is affected by a lot of things, one being their faith or lack of faith. He wanted to convey that it is important to LIVE by your core values, and if they come from your faith, you shouldn't have to apologize for that. In now way did I take away from his comments that he would FORCE his views on the nation. Only that he wasn't going to apologize for his views even if he was president. Personally, I'd rather have a man who stood by his principles than one like Obama who does his utmost best to force the nation to abide by his principles of redistribute the wealth and hate the rich.

Santorum - he's like the guy who doesn't believe in teaching science in school because it's heresy, he's way conservative christian. Kennedy's speech on seperation of church and state made me want to throw up. Seriously, I don't care about his beliefs, but he has no business in office if he can't understand. "Congress shall make no law respecting an establishment of religion, or prohibiting the free exercise thereof..." Gingrich - He's on his 4th wife, kind of a bad sign when your rich and famous yet can't hold down a marriage. Whether relevant to him being president or not a lot of voters won't look past this. He's that type of guy that seems professional but your gut says not to trust him. Romney - no appeal to me, but I could live with him as president. He's lacks the spotlight, I doubt he'll win the primaries, but if he does he probably has the best chance of getting elected.

As far as I know president Obama, he is one of the most eloguent debaters/speakers I have ever seen and most probably no one will be able to match up to his eloguency. The choice of the president should not be based on who can debates better president Obama but on who has better policy compared to president Obama.
