Good post...I'm with you. Whatever Pence runs for, we should be with him. He (probably) can't win in 2008, but what the hell? Someone has to pick up the Reagan legacy and I don't see anyone capable as of today except this man. We all wish he weren't just a "mere" Congressman, but we will work with what we have. His leadership on the budget AND on social issues is first-rate. Yet he never has anything but a positive word to say about anyone, whether a Dem., or Delay, or Gingrich, or whoever.
This guy is the real deal, friends.
Jeremiah 1:5
Before I formed thee in the belly I knew thee; and before thou camest forth out of the womb I sanctified thee, and I ordained thee a prophet unto the nations.
Psalm 139:13
For thou hast possessed my reins: thou hast covered me in my mother's womb.
14 :I will praise thee; for I am fearfully and wonderfully made: marvellous are thy works; and that my soul knoweth right well.
15 :My substance was not hid from thee, when I was made in secret, and curiously wrought in the lowest parts of the earth.
16 :Thine eyes did see my substance, yet being unperfect; and in thy book all my members were written, which in continuance were fashioned, when as yet there was none of them.
Galatians 1:15
But when it pleased God, who separated me from my mother's womb, and called me by his grace,
Isaiah 49:1 :
Listen, O isles, unto me; and hearken, ye people, from far; The LORD hath called me from the womb; from the bowels of my mother hath he made mention of my name.
Matthew 18:5
And whoso shall receive one such little child in my name receiveth me.
Deuteronomy 30:19
"I call heaven and earth to record this day against you, that I have set before you life and
death, blessing and cursing: therefore choose life, that both thou and thy seed may live."
Proverbs 6:16 There are six things which the LORD hates, Yes, seven which are an abomination to Him:17 Haughty eyes, a lying tongue, And hands that shed innocent blood
Exodus 20:13
Thou shalt not kill.
==================================
"You see, I believe that life begins at conception and that a human embryo is human life.I believe it is morally wrong to create human life to destroy it for research. And I believe it is morally wrong to take the tax dollars of millions of pro-life Americans, who believe that human life is sacred, and use it to fund the destruction of human embryos for research."
Pence is shaping up well.
Anyone else remember the days when The Great Ronald Reagan could "never be President"?
"They make claims about cures that haven't even been proven yet and insist on stem cells from embryos instead of adult stem cells. Why aren't they using the stem cells from umbilical cords? There is an endless supply of those."

BTTT
I read where even the Chinese are placing great emphasis human cloning. No joke. They are pouring great resources into it. What do they need it for?
God knows the Chinese concept of sanctity of life is defined by the Communist Party. Are we taking cues from China?
It's crazy.
