Where do we find a politician, a republican politician who does not have flaws.
When we find him what will the mainstream media do to kill him off?
If I had to vote I would probably be able to make a decision but I’m not sure I wouldn’t second guess it tomorrow. I can look at that two ways of course, one is that they are all good and the other is that they all have flaws. Whomever wins I hope he can win the general, I think they would all be better than the democratic alternative.
Has nothing to do with the current illegal discussion and is a "Red Herring".
How about one more Real Men of Genius post? Let me buy you a beer.
As long as it is in a no-smoking section :)
I watched it and Mr. Potato Head (Russert) really mashed up Der Huckmeister.
Hunter is going nowhere, which leaves Thompson as the most conservative candidate. Normally, I’d think of him a middle-left. Says a lot about our slate of candidates.
I agree with you. Children should go with their parents.

That sounds like a message that some Freepers should hear. At this point the emphasis should be on changing minds, not changing laws.
Post #9 well said, couldn’t agree more.
Then why aren't the Abortionists in jail?
You can hang out with Huck in the no smoking section. I’ll be with the smokers in the smoking section. I love the smell of tobacco smoke...it reminds me of freedom.
That’s Huck’s position today. It doesn’t match his record or his past rhetoric. Don’t fall for it.
Nov. 23, 2007
A pretty compelling interview with Mike Huckabee about immigration. In it, Huckabee was asked about charges from rivals that he’s soft on immigration because he supported the children of illegal immigrants being eligible for scholarships and backed free prenatal care for illegal immigrants in need of it.
Huckabee’s response:
“We penalize law-breakers. We don’t penalize their children for something they can’t help.
“If a child is gasping for air, asthmatic, and he’s on the hospital steps, what do the other candidates suggest we do, let him sit there and gasp until he doesn’t have any air left and he dies? If a child comes to our school — and our law, by the way, in most of our states, mine certainly says you’ve got to educate a child if he’s of child age — what do you, break your own law and say, `No, you can’t come in the schoolhouse door’?
“No, you don’t do that. What you do is you elect a president who will fix the problem where it needs to be fixed: At the border. But if your government at the federal government is so incompetent that it fails to secure the border, you don’t then grind your heel into the face of a 6-year-old child over it. That’s not what this country does. We’re a better country than that.”

Then you cut spending on less crucial projects to pay for it.
At least, that's what you do if you aren't a leftist.
C’mon, awakened. Surely you’re not saying that abortion is now illegal everywhere in America.
Because all MNJohnnie is saying is that the President of the United States doesn’t have the power to MAKE abortion illegal everywhere in America.
You’re going to need a constitutional amendment for that, and that involves a whole HECK of a lot of people. And, earth-to-awakened: it ain’t agonna happen.
Better to do what Fred wants to do, overturn Roe v. Wade and let the states that have the power to outlaw it do so. And then we can all go forward from there.
As it is, right now, we are at an impasse, with people like you saying “all or nothing” and the nation answering back: “ok, nothing”.
Is that the way you like it? You LIKE the status quo?
I'm still waiting for The Huckmiester's answer...
I disagreed with the McCain Feingold bill but to say he has a very centrist record is not just misleading but just not true.
He is solidly pro-life and his voting record shows it.
Opposes amnesty in any form. (Jun 2007)
Voted YES on limit welfare for immigrants. (Jun 1997)
As for climate change I don’t think you will find anyone who speaks so skeptically outside this forum. You most certainly won’t find either Huckabee or Romney doing so.

I posted his record Fred is a premier conservative. He is his own man. It appears that is what you don’t like about him. I’d vote for McCain before Romney or Huckabee but thankfully that isn’t an issue. I’m voting for a leader with a record that is unquestionable conservative both socially and fiscally. He did not just discover his conservative roots like Romney.
Since Mitt is your horse in the race I imagine we could go back in time and figure out what his positions were before he began running for President. Tell me did he or did he not march with Martin Luther King Jr? ;-)

I thought it was his dad who was supposed to have marched with King
Yeah that is the question. No one seems to know.
