I'd like to know why Huckabee didn't get the nod.

I'm not happy with Fred's - it's not a federal issue - position. I think it IS and he should support a Constitutional Ammendment (as Huckabee does)

Thoughts...?

The NRLC said part of their calculation was which pro-life candidate has the best chance to win. Huckabee is unelectable.

"I'd like to know why Huckabee didn't get the nod."

Maybe because Huckabee is a Christian Socialist.

If you look at his record, he is a big nanny-stater, taxer, illegal alien lover.

He is no more electable than I am.

On top of that, he seems to be somewhat of a lier in that he refuses to be honest about his past which sort of disqualifies the Christian part too.

Bit of a mistatement on Fred.

It’s more like “Roe v. Wade needs to be reversed, then work from there — because I don’t think we can muster up enough support for the Human Life Amendment.”

[JRochelle]

It doesn’t make a whit of difference if he supports a Constitutional amendment.

Its not going to happen, at least not in the next ten years.

Now roe v. wade can be overturned.

Fred supports what is doable.

Huckabee claiming to support a constitutional amendment is the worst form of pandering. It is never going to happen and he knows it. We need solutions now. Judges are the big problem.

“I’m not happy with Fred’s - it’s not a federal issue - position. I think it IS and he should support a Constitutional Ammendment (as Huckabee does)”

Fred is a Federalist, and murder is part of a State’s portfolio of powers, there is no federal law against murder. So the Supreme Court’s ruling on Roe vs. Wade was an example of a Federal branch exceeding its powers.

A constitutional amendment banning abortion is the nuclear option, and is impossible to achieve under the present political conditions. But because it’s simple and easy to see it will work, the simple minded among us have focused on it to the exclusion of any other options that could actually work.

Millions of the unborn are dying every year and we are morally obligated to save as many as we can. By failing to recognize the reality of the situation and changing our strategy, we become complicit in their deaths. If we start small, at the state and local level, as the anti-smoking campaign did, we can begin to save thousands of lives NOW.

Changes to the Supreme Court plus State and Local abortion laws challenged all the way to the Supreme Court, could eventually cause the over ruling of Roe vs. Wade based on Federalist principles.

Fred is right, and is leading the way; all we must do is follow.

**it’s not a federal issue - position.**

Ever hear of Roe vs. Wade?

Want to retract your statement?

I think its very telling that neither Huckabee nor Romney got it.
