Pro-family goes to Huckabee and Paul

From WorldNetDaily:

Candidates for the GOP nomination for president universally describe themselves as friendly to family issues, but a California organization has issued a report card indicating they aren't listening to the same drummer, and former Gov. Mike Huckabee and U.S. Rep. Ron Paul are leading the pack.

"With seven states holding primaries or caucuses this month and the nominees for the Democratic and Republican parties to be decided on Super Tuesday, February 5, it's high time that conservative voters get the facts on which candidates will defend the natural family – a father, mother, and their children," said the Campaign for Children and Families.

The organization, a leading West Coast pro-family group that researches and advocates for the natural family, said its "Report Card on the Natural Family" highlights the positions the GOP candidates have taken on issues of protecting the basic family unit.

Huckabee and Paul both scored a "7" on the organization's grading scale that ranged from 0-7 on issues including protecting marriage rights for one man and one woman, adoption issues, protecting the Boy Scouts and protecting school children.

U.S. Sen. John McCain scored a 4, getting points for opposing demands that private business owners support homosexuality, opposing "hate crime" laws, refusing to support "gay pride," and opposing teaching school children to support homosexuality.

Former U.S. Sen. Fred Thompson earned a score of 3, for opposing forcing private business owners to support homosexuality, opposing "hate crime" laws, and refusing to support "gay pride."

Former New York Mayor Rudy Giuliani earned a single point, for opposing teaching school children to support homosexuality, and former Massachusetts Gov. Mitt Romney earned a zero.
