I love his stance on wanting to get rid of the problem of anchor babies, even though I know that in order to get rid of anchor babies we would have to amend the Constitution (14th amendment to be specific).
All in all, I do definitely respect the man (although I have a hard time respecting some of his zealots on occasion) and I do want him to be in office because I feel that he is doing a good job (one of the few I actually feel that about). He is at least consistent on his stances and will work for what he promises (although the problem comes in when I disagree with what he promises). I was looking into him as a potential candidate for my vote for president but after seeing some of his stances I've decided that he isn't the man for the job IMO.

As for his stance on moral issues, yes, he certainly does have his own personal moral values. The thing is, he will not try to impose those values on others. You, apparently, see that as someone not willing to "fight for moral values".
