| ARTICLES RELATED TO Gary Bauer | | | |  Gary Bauer: Encyclopedia II - Iowa caucus - HistoryWhile the Iowa caucus has been the first such caucus each year in the United States for a century, it only came to national attention in 1976, when obscure Georgia governor Jimmy Carter won the most votes at the Democratic caucus. In a major upset, he went on to win his party's nomination and eventually the presidency. Since then, presidential candidates have focused increasingly on achieving a win in Iowa. In 2000, for example, the Iowa caucus results placed Democrat Al Gore and Republican George W. Bush far ahead of their rivals. The two would go on to win their ...

U.S. presidential election 2000 - Campaign.
In the campaign, Bush criticized the Clinton administration policy in Somalia, where 18 Americans died in 1993 trying to sort out warring factions, and in the Balkans, where U.S. peacekeeping troops perform a variety of functions. "I don't think our troops ought to be used for what's called nation-building," Bush said in the second presidential debate. [1]

| | | | | Gary Bauer: Encyclopedia II - Factions in the Republican Party United States - Fiscal conservatives The fiscal conservative faction favors large reductions in overall taxation, reduced domestic spending, privatization of Social Security, and decreased regulation. Originally, the pro-business branch of the GOP was practically defined by its support of protectionism, but in recent years those elements of the GOP have been more supportive of free-market principles and treaties for open trade.
Prominent fiscal conservatives include former Speaker of the House Newt Gingrich and activist Grover Norquist. The Club ...

| | | | | Gary Bauer: Encyclopedia II - Factions in the Republican Party United States - Moderates Moderates within the GOP tend to be, to varying degrees, fiscally conservative and socially liberal. While they share the economic views of other Republicans - e.g. balanced budgets, lower taxes, free trade, deregulation, welfare reform - moderate Republicans differ in that they may be for affirmative action, some gay rights, abortion rights, environmental regulation, federal funds for education, gun control, fewer restrictions on legal immigration, or any of the above. Deficit spending is a highly contentious issue, as is foreign policy. Moderates ma ...

| | | | | Gary Bauer: Encyclopedia II - Christian right - Dominionism Some critics of the Christian Right including Sara Diamond and Frederick Clarkson claim that the Christian Right's political agendas are a form of Dominionism influenced by Dominion Theology and Christian Reconstructionism; the latter two are related philosophies that regard the Bible as the only strictly true reference for civics, government, scientific theory or any scholarly pursuit. Many in the Christian Right oppose this point of view, and no major Christian Right leader has gone on record as advocating Reconstructionism.

| | | | | Gary Bauer: Encyclopedia II - Christian right - U.S. foreign policy and Christian Zionism Many in the Christian Right refer to apocalyptic and other Biblical prophecy in their support of Israel, and support of Israel is often seen as a matter of biblical doctrine. Israel figures prominently in the school of interpretation of Biblical prophecy called premillennial dispensationalism, which with regard to its political implications contributes significantly to the movement sometimes called Christian Zionism.
According to Ribuffo, the Old Christian Right was generally isolationist, while Diamond notes the Christian Righ ...

| | | | | Gary Bauer: Encyclopedia II - Christian right - Issues Positions labeled "Christian Right", but sometimes held by only a minority of those commonly considered "Christian Right" include:
The Pro-Life movement, which advocates stronger regulation or prohibition of abortion, in the belief that abortion constitutes murder;
Opposition to euthanasia, in the belief that it is murder;
Opposition to same-sex marriage laws by groups such as the Focus on the Family and Traditional Values Coalition in the belief that homosexual behavior is a violation of Christian doctrine and ...

| | | | | Gary Bauer: Encyclopedia II - Christian right - Pro-Republican political activism National organizations (including the Christian Coalition and Christian Voice) and local churches have engaged in voter registration drives and get-out-the-vote efforts, targeting people likely to vote for Republican candidates and using materials that portray Republicans more favorably than Democrats. [9]
The Christian Right has also worked to promote expressly partisan Republican campaigning. For example, during the 2004 campaign, Christian Voice waged a $2.9 million Christian Voter Drive [10]. Their 6,199 Church captains collective ...

| | | | | Gary Bauer: Encyclopedia II - Factions in the Republican Party United States - Libertarians The libertarian faction of the Republican Party is pro-private property and pro-personal liberty. Similar to the fiscal conservative faction, libertarian Republicans seek to privatize most govermental factions or devolve them to the states; massive reductions in overall federal taxation, and an overhaul of the current American tax system; deregulation of industries; more open immigration policies; and open international trade. Unlike many conservative Republicans, however, the libertarian Republicans tend to oppose the "War on Drugs", Americ ...

| | | | | Gary Bauer: Encyclopedia II - Factions in the Republican Party United States - Overlap There is often plenty of overlap between the various categories. For example, a Republican may side with the "neoconservatives" on foreign policy issues, yet also support a "religious right" social agenda and a "fiscally conservative" economic vision.
Partly because of that overlap, it is difficult to accurately claim which faction of the party currently holds the most power, though such a question is the topic of much speculation. After the 2003 Iraq War many argued the "neconservative" wing of the party was clearly dominant, as they ...

| | | | | Gary Bauer: Encyclopedia II - U.S. presidential election 2000 - Election results Vice President Al Gore came in second in the electoral vote even though he received 543,816 more popular votes than Bush. Such a close national contest contributed to the controversy of the election. This was the first time since 1888 that a candidate who clearly did not receive a plurality of the popular vote received a majority of the Electoral College. (Due to the unusual ballot in Alabama in 1960, it is unclear how much of the popular vote in that state can be attributed t ...

The Court voted 7-2 to end the recount on the grounds that differing standards in different counties constituted an equal protection violation, and 5-4 that no new recount with uniform standards could be conducted. The decision was extremely controversial due to the partisan split in the court's 5-4 decision and the majority's extremely irregular instruction that its judgment in Bush v. Gore should not set precedent but should be "limit ...
