On abortion...he was unsure if there should be any penalty to a Dr ? Was not sure if a Dr performing one should go to prison. I understand it could be political suicide to say otherwise, but if that`s the case why is he even running.
Yes for the record I am a sinner saved by grace.
He loses me when he Bush bashes and does his John McCain impersonation on the war mistakes. John and Mike would have run the war with out anybody dying.
He was quite dismissive of Russert on that; basically saying that science is clear that a new human life comes into being at conception. Russert was floored. IT was great.
True. I can remember not that long ago, when the Homosexual lobby argued that homosexuality was a choice, after all if it were a condition it could be “treated”. Remember the uproar when the scientist purported to have found the gay gene.
Well, he’s on the right side of this issue—I think?—but he sure loses an opportunity to explain it. Notice how he turns his answer to the question into what amounts to a boast about his own faith:
“We may have certain tendencies, but how we behave and how we carry out our behavior–but the important issue that I want to address, because I think when you bring up the faith question, Tim, I’ve been asked more about my faith than any person running for president. I’m OK with that.”
So, he’s just about to explain the Christian position which differentiates between having certain “tendencies” and indulging in them when—bango—it’s all about me! That’s what I’d call a lost teaching opportunity, big time.
They both "miss the mark", big time.
“Yep... and he responds correctly... yet he gets slammed here for it.”
Nothing that Mike says will ever be seen in a positive light by the vast majority here on FR. I’ve learn to accept that and move on.
I can’t criticize them though, in that lately everytime someone posts something about Romney. I respond, and mean it, that it doesn’t matter what the man says, he is a mormon and I won’t vote for him....ever. So, I’m just as set in my opposition to Romney.
Oh my gosh! You mean Huckabee is against homosexuals and abortion TOO!!!! That’s it, I’m not voting for him.

Yep... I’ve been floored by the reaction by freepers here. I’m convinced it is because Huckabee was a pastor. The fiscal conservatives who have no real moral values are a vocal group.
-— Tim, understand, when a Christian speaks of sin, a Christian says all of us are sinners. I’m a sinner, everybody’s a sinner. What one’s sin is, means it’s missing the mark. It’s missing the bull’s eye, the perfect point. I miss it every day; we all do. -—
Favorable mention of G-d is one thing. Giving the standard rundown on sin on Meet the Press is quite another. The man is running for President, not Chief of Preachers!
Is this one of those Ron Paul websites or what?
“Remember the uproar when the scientist purported to have found the gay gene.”
I don’t know if there is a “homosexual” gene(s). However, I do know that Levi Strauss, seller of “jenes”, caters to homosexuals.
Seriously, even if they were to find a definitive set of genetic elements that predisposed a person to homosexual behavior, it still doesn’t mean they have to practice it. This is no different than a man with a wandering eye not practicing promiscuity. A person can control some behaviors.
If I could say one thing to all of the fiscal freepers here it would be this..... you can't elect anybody by yourselves. You don't have enough votes. You need the moral conservatives to make it work.
Looks Like Hillary and Chelsea Clinton Eyes...
Well, if you look at it from a ballistic standpoint....
Homosexuality IS "aiming at the wrong thing" so to speak.
“We may have certain tendencies, but how we behave and how we carry out our behavior–but the important issue that I want to address, because I think when you bring up the faith question, Tim, I’ve been asked more about my faith than any person running for president. I’m OK with that.”
It isn’t a “boast” if it is factual. Which it is.
Because the latter is a necessity for free men and the former is abhorrent to them.
A free man who needs to have his faith protected from the opinions or desires of others is not a free man.
